For Authors

Submission

When submitting a manuscript to the journal, authors must confirm its compliance with all the criteria listed below. Non-compliance with these conditions may lead to the article being returned for revision or rejected.

  • The manuscript must correspond to the scientific subject matter of the journal "Education: Modern Discourses".
  • The manuscript must be original, not previously published, and not under consideration in another publication.
  • The author is responsible for the novelty and accuracy of the results, as well as the correctness of the list of co-authors who made a significant intellectual contribution to the preparation of the submitted work.
  • The author guarantees the proper formatting of bibliographic references to all used fragments of others' works or statements by other authors. Excessive borrowing and plagiarism in any form are strictly unacceptable. Together with the manuscript, the author provides a report on the plagiarism check, which confirms the level of uniqueness of the text and contains an analysis of source usage and partial overlap with other scientific works.
  • The author certifies the absence of a conflict of interest and confirms they have familiarised themselves with the Author Agreement. All materials must comply with the editorial board's requirements regarding format and content.
