The editorial board of the journal “Pedagogy and Psychology” adheres to the Model Rules of Scientific Ethics of Kazakhstan approved by Order of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 529 of November 20, 2024 // https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/V2400035392. The editorial office of the journal also strives to comply with the ethical standards of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) adopted by the international scientific community, preventing violations of these standards both in its own work and in its relationships.

Authorship and Copyright

Authorship of a manuscript belongs to those researchers who were directly involved in the creation of the manuscript, in the development of the idea, in the writing of the article and in the interpretation of the results, and who made a significant contribution to the scientific results. Authors retain the rights to their manuscripts while allowing anyone to freely download, distribute or copy them, provided that the authorship of the work is attributed and a reference is made to its unique publication in the journal. No permission from the authors or the publisher is required for any of these actions, provided that the journal is cited. Authors retain the right to distribute their article in other sources, provided that a reference is made to its original publication in this journal.

 

Conflict of Interest

Editors and reviewers may not use unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts in their own research without the written consent of the Author. Information or ideas obtained during the review process that relate to possible benefits must be kept confidential and must not be used for personal purposes. Reviewers must not participate in the review of manuscripts in the event of a conflict of interest arising from competitive, collaborative or other interactions and relationships with any of the Authors, companies or other organizations connected with the submitted work.

Confidentiality Policy

The editorial office of the journal “Pedagogy and Psychology” does not disclose information about a manuscript accepted for consideration to third parties, with the exception of the appointed reviewers, before its publication. The editorial office also does not disclose information about reviewers to authors or other persons. These and other norms of conduct for the participants in the publication process, namely the principles, norms and standards of conduct for authors, members of the editorial board, the publisher and reviewers, are based on publication ethics.

Retraction

Retraction (withdrawal of a publication) is the process of removing an already published scientific article from a journal or database. It is a serious measure applied when significant problems with a publication are discovered. The main reasons for retraction include: the discovery of falsification or fabrication of data, plagiarism, serious methodological errors that call the research results into question, duplicate publication, violation of ethical standards in conducting the research, and a conflict of interest that was not disclosed at the time of publication. Retraction serves as a self-correction mechanism in science, helping to preserve the integrity of the scientific literature and trust in the process of scientific publishing.

The publisher carries out retraction (withdrawal of a publication) upon an official application from the author/team of authors of the article justifying the reason for their decision, as well as by decision of the editorial board of the journal based on its own examination or on information received by the editorial office. The editorial office is obliged to inform the author (the corresponding author in the case of co-authorship) of the retraction of the article and to justify the reasons for it. Articles are not physically removed from the electronic version of the journal or from the archive; the texts of retracted articles remain where they were previously, but the electronic version of the text will bear the mark RETRACTED and the date of retraction.

In the event of retraction of an article, the publication fee paid by the authors is not refunded. Publication costs and review costs are not compensated, regardless of the reasons for the retraction of the publication.

Ethics Committee Approval

If the research involved humans or animals, the scientific article must be accompanied by a document confirming the approval of the research by an ethics committee. It must state the full name of the institutional ethics committee that approved the research. Research participants must sign an informed consent form, which is submitted together with the manuscript.

Ethics Statement

The “Methods” section of a scientific article must contain a statement on the ethical aspects of the research, as well as information on the permissions obtained for data collection and the publication of the results. Authors should describe the procedure for collecting data about people or from research participants. This requirement may not apply to certain types of articles, for example, literature reviews.
