Responsibilities

Authors' responsibilities

The authors guarantee that a manuscript represents their original contribution, that it had not been published before and that it is not considered to be published elsewhere.  Sending the same manuscript to different Journals simultaneously represents the violation of the ethical standards, which excludes it from further consideration of its publishing in the Journal.  The paper which had already elsewhere been published cannot be republished in the "ESAF - The Es Accounting and Finance".

Editorial responsibilities

The editorial board members, including the editor in chief, cannot have a conflict of interest with regard to the manuscripts under consideration. The members who one may assume to have a conflict of interest do not take part in the decision-making process for a particular document.

Manuscripts are stored as sensitive information. The manuscripts' information and concepts are not to be exploited for private gain without the author's express written consent.

In accordance with the procedure being followed, the editor in chief and editorial board members are required to take all reasonable steps to ensure that authors and reviewers remain anonymous before, during, and after the process of evaluation.

Reviewers' responsibilities

A reviewer pays close attention to the authenticity and originality of the manuscript. The evaluation must be totally impartial. The reviewers' conclusions must be convincing and backed up by evidence. Reviewers assess the manuscripts based on how well the material fits the Journals profile, how important and practical it is, how well the methods used are adequate, how scientifically valuable the information is, how well it is presented, and how well the language is written. The review follows a regular framework that includes evaluations of specific aspects of the paper, an overall assessment, and a concluding recommendation.

A reviewer mustn`t be in a conflict of interest either with the authors or a research financier. If such a conflict exists, a reviewer is required to timely inform the editor in chief about this. A reviewer does not accept the papers to be reviewed outside the field for which he/she considers him/herself to be completely competent.
