The journal «Land Reclamation and Water Management» consequently compiles with editorial standards COPE Code of Conduct, approved by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).
The editorial board of Land Reclamation and Water Management is guided in its work by the international ethical rules of scientific publications, including the rules of decency, confidentiality, supervision of publications, consideration of possible conflicts of interest, etc.
In its activities, the editorial board follows the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics .
The editorial board of the journal adheres to the following rules for supporting publication ethics:
Data sharing policy
The journal supports the principles of transparency and openness of scientific research, while protecting the rights of authors and adhering to ethical standards.
The journal stipulates that the data underlying the published results can be accessed only upon official request through the editorial office. Data is provided only with the consent of the author(s) of the study.
To gain access to the data, the interested person should send a request to the editorial office of the journal, indicating the purpose of using the data. The editorial board forwards this request to the author(s) for consideration. If the author agrees, the editorial board notifies the applicant of further actions, including the possibility of signing a confidentiality agreement and an obligation to adhere to the ethical principles of data use.
The editorial board does not oblige authors to provide access to data and takes into account restrictions related to confidentiality, legal or ethical aspects. In case of an author's refusal, the editorial board notifies the applicant.
All requests for access to data should be sent through the official e-mail of the journal journal.iwpim@gmail.com. We are convinced that this approach guarantees a fair and regulated process, while protecting the rights of authors and ensuring the ethical use of scientific data.
Deciding on publication
The editor decides on the publication of the submitted articles. It is guided by a journal policy based solely on academic value and the conclusions of the reviewers. The editor adheres to modern rules regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.
The editor should not use the published information in their research without the written consent of the author. Editors should make appropriate decisions to address ethical complaints regarding submitted manuscripts or published articles.
The journal editor evaluates the intellectual content of the manuscripts regardless of the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, origin, citizenship, or political preferences of the authors.
Confidentiality
The editor and editorial board do not disclose information about the submitted manuscripts (authors, topics, texts, etc.). Any manuscript received for review is considered a confidential document. The editor and the editorial board undertake not to disclose information about the accepted manuscripts unnecessarily, with the exception of authors, reviewers, other scientific consultants and the publisher.
Resolution of the conflicts of interest
Unpublished materials should not be used in any research by the editor, reviewers, or others without the written consent of the authors.
Editors, reviewers, and scientific consultants undertake to recuse themselves from consideration of manuscripts in the presence of conflict of interest as a result of competitive, joint, and other interactions and relations with authors, companies, other organisations associated with the manuscript.
The editorial board undertakes to take retaliatory measures in case of conflict situations and claims regarding the manuscripts or published materials.
The editorial board may address claims or concerns about research or publication misconduct raised by readers, reviewers, or others. Furthermore, the journal reserves the right to inform readers about the resolution of conflict situations.
Policy around post-publication discussions
Journal values open and constructive discussions surrounding published research. To facilitate this, we encourage readers and authors to engage with our articles on PubPeer, a respected platform for post-publication commentary.
All articles published in our journal are automatically indexed with their DOI, enabling easy access and discussion on PubPeer. Discussions should remain professional, focused on the research content, and adhere to high ethical standards.
Any credible concerns raised about an article on PubPeer will be investigated in accordance with our journal’s ethics and retraction policies. For more information on engaging with PubPeer, visit their platform at PubPeer.com.
Our journal is committed to fostering a culture of open and respectful post-publication dialog.

Responsibilities of the editorial board:
The principles of professional ethics in the work of the editor and publisher
In its activities, the editor is responsible for publication of author’s works that requires compliance with the following fundamental principles:
– At the time of adoption of the decision on the publication the editor of the scientific journal is guided by reliability of data presentation and scientific importance of the work.
– An editor should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, social status or political preferences of the authors.
– Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used for personal purposes or transferred to third parties without written consent of the author.

The reviewer who has not, in his opinion, qualified to assess the manuscript, or cannot be objective, for example in the case of a conflict of interest with the author or organization should inform the editor with a request to exclude him from the process of reviewing this manuscript.
The principles that should guide the author of scientific publications
The author (or group of authors) realizes his primary responsibility for novelty and validity of scientific research results, which implies respect for the following principles:
– The authors should provide reliable research results. Advance erroneous or falsified statements are unacceptable.
– Authors must guarantee that the results of a study described in a submitted manuscript is completely original. Borrowed fragments or statements must be furnished with the obligatory indication of the author and source. Excessive borrowing and plagiarism in any form, including unregistered quotes, appropriation of other people’s research are unethical and unacceptable.
– It is necessary to recognize the contribution of all persons somehow influenced the course of the study. In particular, this article must be submitted references to the work, which had a meaning during the research.
– Authors should not submit to the journal the manuscript that was submitted to another journal and is under consideration, as well as articles already published in another publication.
– Co-authors of the article should include all persons who have made a significant contribution to the study. Among the sponsors is unacceptable to designate persons who did not participate in the research.
– If the author finds significant errors or inaccuracies in the article at the stage of reviewer or after its publication, it must as soon as possible to inform the editorial Board.
By submitting materials for publication in the journal "Land Reclamation and Water Management", the authors agree that, if the materials are accepted for publication, the latter may be placed in electronic databases with the obligatory indication of authorship and copyright retention in full.
In the text of the work itself, sources of external information should be presented – in the form of lists of used literature (including personal previously published articles of the authors). Authors are obliged to properly draw up borrowings in the form of citations or links.
If the author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in the publication, the author must notify the editor of the journal and interact with him/her to correct them as soon as possible.
If the editor has received information from a third party that the publication contains material errors, the author shall be obliged to remove the article or correct the errors as soon as possible.
Authorship statement
The editorial board of the journal "Land Reclamation and Water Management" assumes that all authors agree with the content of the article, have given explicit consent for its publication, and have obtained permission from the responsible individuals in the institution/organization where the work was carried out before the article was submitted for consideration.
All authors, whose names are listed in the submission, declare that they:
- made substantial contributions to the conception or structure of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data;
- prepared the research material or revised it critically for important intellectual content;
- approved the version to be published;
- agree to be responsible for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
The editorial board of the journal "Land Reclamation and Water Management" encourages collaboration with colleagues in the locations where the research is conducted, and expect their inclusion as co-authors when they fulfill all authorship criteria described above. Contributors who do not meet all criteria for authorship should be listed in the Acknowledgements section.
Submission declaration
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, or in any other language.
Advertising policy
This journal does not accept any form of advertising. Our financial model is designed to maintain full editorial independence and uphold the highest standards of academic integrity.
Research funding policy
The journal "Land Reclamation and Water Management" strives for maximum transparency of research funding sources. All authors are required to declare the sources of funding for the research presented in the article, including:
-grants from scientific institutions or foundations;
-funds received from governmental or non-governmental organisations;
-commercial or private sources of support;
-internal funding from universities, clinics or other organisations.
In case of absence of financial support, there is a need to indicate "None" in the appropriate section.
The journal «Land Reclamation and Water Management» practices a «double-blind» review process: authors are not told who reviewed their paper, and referees do not know the name of the authors whose papers they review.
We strongly recommend that all reviewers read and adhere COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers.
The procedure for reviewing articles in the journal includes the following stages:
Manuscripts that do not pass the initial review are rejected; the author is informed of the decision. If the manuscript meets the requirements of the journal, it is submitted for peer review.
All articles are reviewed by at least (usually) two active scientists or more (if necessary); as a rule, reviewers are external; External reviewing involves Ukrainian and foreign doctors of sciences who are specialized in the same scientific field as the authors of the article. The selection of reviewers is based on their experience in a particular field.
In accordance with the principles of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics), the appointment of reviewers for scientific articles is carried out by the editor of the journal (editor-in-chief or deputy editor). The editor-in-chief or deputy editor selects independent experts in the relevant field, avoiding conflicts of interest, to ensure an objective evaluation of the manuscript.
Аnonymous article and a standard review form are attached to the letter. The reviewers cannot be affiliated with the same institution as the author and cannot be in a conflict of interest
The review forms are returned to the editorial board, as a rule, within 20 days of receipt of the material. In case of delays in returning the reviews, the reviewer should inform the Editorial Board by e-mail. If the reviewer has any questions, comments or requests, they will contact the Editorial Board.
According to results of reviewing, the manuscript may be recommended:
- For publication in the original version, i.e. without any changes;
- For publication after making minor changes according to reviewer comments;
- For re-review after significant revisions by the author(s);
- For refusal for publication without further consideration.
After the review, the Executive Editor reviews the reports of the reviewers and in some cases (for example, if the reviews differ significantly) may invite an additional reviewer to obtain an additional opinion before making a decision.
If a decision is made to “send for re-review,” the manuscript must be revised and sent for a second round of peer review. Revisions do not guarantee acceptance of the article; if the reviewers consider the changes unsatisfactory, the article will be rejected.
If only minor changes are suggested, such a re-review may be carried out by the Editor-in-Chief.
If the author submits objections to the results of the review, providing his/her reasonable arguments and explanations, the Editor-in-Chief and/or the Executive Editor will check the author’s objections and inform him/her of the result.
If the reviewers' recommendation for the article is a rejection or revision, they must provide a written, reasoned explanation of the reasons for such a decision. Reviews signed by the reviewers with a conventional or electronic signature are stored in the editorial office for 3 years from the date of publication of the issue of the journal in which the reviewed article is published.
The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision to publish the manuscript in the journal, taking into account all recommendations, arguments and compliance with the journal’s requirements. The Editor-in-Chief does not participate in decision-making on articles in which he or she has a conflict of interest. All such articles are independently reviewed without the participation of the Editor-in-Chief; the final decision in this case is made by the Deputy Editor-in-Chief.
A typical peer review deadline 2-4 weeks
Median time to first decision 4-8 weeks

Reconsideration of article and response to reviewer’s comments
For repeated viewing of Your document and respond to comments of the reviewers:
– Please note all comments provided by the editor and reviewer;
– Describe any changes in Your article in response to the letter;
– Do all additional tests that are recommended by the reviewer (if You are sure that these changes will not make Your article better, give a detailed justification, why You think so);
– In a reverse letter separately describe all the moments in which You agree with the reviewer and did not agree;
– Provide a polite and scientific justification of all the points with which You disagree;
– Clearly indicate all changes to Your documents that You have made (highlight);
– Return the revised manuscript and a letter back within the period prescribed by the editor.
The refusal to publish
The author can choose another journal in the following cases:
– the editor responded that the subject work does not meet the scope of the journal,
– editor to reject the manuscript without the right of re-granting,
– the manuscript was given failure even after answering all the corrections and comments of the reviewer,
– was rejected by two reviewers.
If the review process of the manuscript takes much more time than is necessary for this journal, and editors can speed up the process, in this case, it is very important to notify the editor about what You take away from the wording of the manuscript, before submitting it to another journal.

Archiving policy
The Journal develops various procedures aimed at ensuring permanent access to the content hosted on its servers:
In addition, the journal stores its metadata in the NATIONAL REPOSITORY OF ACADEMIC TEXTS and at the local REPOSITORY of the Institute of Water Problems and Land Reclamation of NAAS to ensure long-term digital preservation of articles.
As well, journal uses LOCKSS system for distributed archiving content published in numerous libraries and information centers. Libraries participating in the LOCKSS project ensure long-term storage of comprehensive log files and automatic restoration of corrupted data.
Anti-plagiarism Policy
Before submitting articles to reviewers, those are first checked for plagiarism, by the UNICHECK system.
Plagiarism is the exposing of another person’s thoughts or words as though they were your own, without permission, credit, or acknowledgment, or because of failing to cite the sources properly. Plagiarism can take diverse forms, from literal copying to paraphrasing the work of another. In order to properly judge whether an author has plagiarized, we emphasize the following possible situations:
• An author can literally copy another author’s work- by copying word by word, in whole or in part, without permission, acknowledge or citing the original source. This practice can be identified through comparing the original source and the manuscript/work who is suspected of plagiarism.
• Substantial copying implies for an author to reproduce a substantial part of another author, without permission, acknowledge or citation. The substantial term can be understood both in terms of quality as quantity, being often used in the context of Intellectual property. Quality refers to the relative value of the copied text in proportion to the work as a whole.
Paraphrasing involves taking ideas, words or phrases from a source and crafting them into new sentences within the writing. This practice becomes unethical when the author does not properly cite or does not acknowledge the original work/author. This form of plagiarism is the more difficult form to be identified.
The authors are reported by editorial that they bear full personal responsibility for the authenticity of the content of articles. In order to avoid borrowing or incorrect using of the research results of third persons parties, please comply with the authors of Ethics academic citation. We recommend that prior to submitting the text, the authors to carry out a self-test for plagiarism of the scientific articles.
Manuscripts submitted to the editorial board are verified for originality according to the following indicators: if the originality of the text is over 85%, then the material is allowed for consideration; 75-85% – the author should verify the correctness of the citations and references to the sources used; under 75% – the material is not accepted for consideration. No more than 3% plagiarism from one source is allowed.
In case of revelation of plagiarism during the processing of the article, the article is returned to the author.

We stand for compliance with the COPE principles, against all possible offences. Particular attention is paid to checking works for originality and avoiding cases of plagiarism.
Multiple submission
Authors should submit manuscripts that are unique and should not be submitted to any other journal (except in some unusual circumstances and only with the approval of the reviewer). Sometimes authors may ignore this requirement by submitting the same paper to multiple journals or by submitting multiple papers based on the same research. As in the case of plagiarism, resubmission can take many forms: literal copying, partial but substantial copying, or even paraphrasing of a study. Violation of this policy will result in immediate rejection along with possible sanctions against the authors.
Manipulation with citations
Submitted manuscripts that contain citations whose main purpose is to increase the number of references to the work of a given author or articles published in a particular journal will be immediately rejected, and sanctions against the authors are possible.
Data falsification
If falsified or fabricated data of experimental results (including image manipulation) are found in the submitted article, this will lead to immediate rejection and possible sanctions against the authors.
In the case of suspected misconduct or fraud, the journal will conduct an investigation in accordance with COPE guidelines. If, after the investigation, reasonable concerns arise, the authors involved will be contacted via their email addresses and given the opportunity to resolve the issue. Depending on the situation, this may result in the journal taking the following actions, including but not limited to:
Corrections
A correction may be published with the article if a fundamental error or mistake (for example, an experimental error or miscalculation) is found,
Erratum
Erratum will be used if we have made a material error in the preparation of a journal article, including errors of omission, such as failure to correct factual evidence requested by the authors within the timeframe set by the journal and within the journal's policy. A significant error is one that affects the scientific record, the scientific integrity of the article, the reputation of the authors or the journal.
Corrigendum
Corrigendum is a notification of a significant error made by the authors of the article. All corrections are approved by the editorial board.
Procedure for making corrections
Retraction
In some cases, the Editorial Board may decide to retract an article.
Reasons for potential retraction of a paper:
Retraction requests can be submitted by authors, editors or third parties. The editorial board conducts an investigation with the involvement of the authors and, if necessary, external experts. The decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief or his/her deputy.
Once the decision to retract an article has been made:
In some cases, the authors of the article considered by the journal may ask to withdraw their article. A withdrawal may be initiated only before the article is published. To withdraw an article, the authors must write a clear and concise letter with an in-depth explanation as to why the manuscript needs to be withdrawn. The letter must be signed by all authors. A withdrawn manuscript is removed from the publisher’s database altogether, and copyrights remain with the authors of the withdrawn manuscript.
Mass manipulation and paper mills
If it is determined that an article is part of a group of publications compromised by paper mills or other systematic fraudulent practices, the editorial board may decide to retract the article as part of a package. The retraction statement must indicate that the article belongs to a group of works affected by similar violations.
Use of artificial intelligence
The hidden or undeclared use of artificial intelligence systems to create text, images, or other data in a manuscript is considered a serious violation and may be grounds for retraction. Authors are required to transparently disclose the use of such tools. Concealing such facts may be considered grounds for retraction. The editorial board reserves the right to check manuscripts for the use of generative artificial intelligence systems. For this purpose, automated detection tools, expert evaluation by reviewers, and additional requests to authors may be used.
Falsification of authorship and identity theft
Manuscripts may be retracted in cases of confirmed false authorship, use of someone else's personal data (name, ORCID, etc.), as well as hidden or forced authorship.
Expression of concern
In cases where there are serious concerns about the authenticity of an article or a breach of academic integrity, but there is insufficient evidence for immediate retraction, the editorial board may publish an expression of concern. Such a statement has its own DOI, is linked to the original article, and contains a brief explanation of the reasons for publication. The expression of concern remains available until the editorial investigation is complete.
Promptness of procedures
The decision to publish corrections, expressions of concern or retractions is made by the editorial board and implemented as soon as possible after significant violations are identified. In cases where final agreement on the text with the authors is not possible, the editorial board reserves the right to publish the statement without delay in order to preserve scientific integrity.
Availability of retracted articles
Retracted articles remain openly accessible in the journal's archives and databases with a clear indication of “Retraction”. Complete removal is only possible in exceptional cases when required by applicable legal regulations (in particular, personal data protection, copyright infringement, enforcement of court decisions or security considerations).
