Publication Ethics

Monitoring of Public Opinion: Economic & Social Changes Journal promotes compliance with publication ethics and adheres to the provisions of the Declaration “Ethical Principles of Scientific Publications”.

In case of publication ethics violation by the authors (plagiarism, “fan” distribution of texts to editions, duplicate publications, etc.), the editorial board takes the following steps:

1. The employer / grantmaker / academic unit of the university, which the author / group of authors is/ are affiliated with, is informed about the fact of violations.
2. If a violation is discovered ex post facto, all texts that violate publication ethics (for example, those received by the editorial staff resulting from “fan” mailings containing plagiarism) will be removed (retracted) from journals and scientific databases (RSCI, SCOPUS, WoS). Information about these articles will be transferred to the open database of retracted texts.
3. The journal will appeal to the Council on the Ethics of Scientific Publications with a request to verify all materials published by this author/group of authors within a ten-year period. For established courses of violations in the field of publication ethics, the texts will be withdrawn from publication from journals and scientific information bases, and citation will be stopped for them.
4. The journal will veto the acceptance of materials from the author/group of authors who violated publication ethics for one year.

Publication Cycle

The publication cycle in the Journal (from the moment the manuscript is submitted for consideration to its publication on the Journal's website) lasts on average 8 months; the minimum duration of the publication cycle is 4 months.

Preparation of Special Issues lasts at least 10 months from the date of the Call for Papers announcement on the Journal website and at least 7 months from the date of the Call for Papers ending.

Manuscipt Requirements

Articles should be structured and formatted in accordance with the standards described below when first submitted to the Journal. In case an article does not meet the standards of the Journal, it may be rejected prior to peer review. Authors can resubmit it after the necessary revision.

Volume and Structure of the Manuscript

The Journal accepts Research Articles of 35 to 65 thousand characters (with spaces) and Reviews from 15 to 40 thousand characters (with spaces). Estimation of the manuscript volume includes its title, abstract, keywords (5 to 7 words in Russian and English), list of references (literature), notes, and footnotes. Graphic materials (diagrams, pictures, maps) and tables that take up half a page are counted as 1,700 characters (with spaces), and those occupying more than half of a page — as 3,400 characters (with spaces).

The articles should be structured in accordance with the common academic logic and contain an introduction and main research tasks / questions / hypotheses, a review of relevant literature, author's results, main conclusions / discussion. The text should be divided into sections.

Abstract and Acknowledgements

The Abstract to the article should consist of 150 to 300 words. The Abstract should state the purpose of the work and the author's argument, reflect the approaches to the analysis and the main findings. The abstract should not include introductory sentences, justification of the topic's relevance (unless it is the main purpose of the work), direct quotes and references to the literature.

If the research was carried out with the assistance of a grant or other funding, this must be reflected in the last paragraph of the Abstract, marked with the word "Acknowledgments". Additionally, in this paragraph, the authors can express gratitude to their colleagues or any other acknowledgements.

Information about the Authors

When submitting a manuscript for consideration, it is necessary to provide information about all contributing authors. It is not possible to change the list of authors after submitting an article.

Information about each of the authors should contain:

• full name,
• position and place of work,
• academic degree (if any),
• email address,
• ORCID (https://orcid.org/). In the absence of such an identifier, authors have to register in the ORCID database.

List of References (Literature)

The List of References should contain only sources of scientific information. Media materials, legal documents, expert overviews, etc. should be referred to exclusively in the footnotes. The List of References should contain only those sources to which the author(s) referred in the text of the manuscript. If the manuscript refers to several works of the same author (group of authors), they should be listed in the References in chronological order.

Revising the Manuscript for Resubmission

The Journal adheres to the double-blind peer review standard. When revising the article after receiving anonymous reviews, the authors must respond to each comment / remark / proposal of the reviewer in one of the following three formats:

• In the form of text responses to the reviewer's comments in the body of the review itself, with page-by-page indication of the edits made.
• In the format of out-of-text comments in the article file (if the reviewer also provided comments directly in the article file).
• In the form of a table of edits with a description of the reviewer's comments and a page-by-page indication of the edits made.

In any case, we encourge the authors to make changes to the text of the manuscript in the Track Changes mode.

If, when revising the article, the authors do not take into account or do not comment on some of the remarks presented in the review, the manuscript may be returned for another round of revisions or rejected by the Journal.

The volume of the article after making all the edits must comply with the requirements specified in the Volume and Structure of the Manuscript section.
