Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

By submitting the manuscript, the author(s) acknowledge that no other manuscript describing essentially the same research or results has been submitted to another journal. Furthermore, the author(s) agree that the manuscript will not be submitted elsewhere until the paper has officially been refused for publication in the journal Akusticke listy.

Authors should ensure that submitted work is the original work of the stated authors and it has not been published elsewhere. If the authors have used the work and/or words of others, this material must be appropriately cited or quoted. Citations must be given for all additional persons whose work has contributed to the paper; at the same time, the use of citations should be restricted only to those whose contributions are necessary, and should not be extended to those who have not. Plagiarism in any form, including the touting of material contained in another paper (of the same authors or some other author) with cosmetic changes as a new paper; copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s paper (without attribution), and claiming results from research conducted by others is unacceptable.

The Editors of the journal Akustické listy are responsible for deciding which of the research papers/articles submitted to the journal should be published. The publishing decision is based on the recommendation of the journal’s reviewers.

The Editors, Reviewers and any Editorial Staff are not permitted to disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
