Ethical Practice
The journal NARTAMONGÆ – The Journal of Alano-Ossetic Studies: Epic, Mythology & Language adheres to high standards of academic ethics and follows internationally recognized guidelines for the ethical conduct of all parties involved in the publishing process, including authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers.
Core Principles:

All submissions must represent original research. Plagiarism, data fabrication, and falsification are strictly prohibited.

Authors are required to disclose all sources of funding and any potential conflicts of interest. All borrowings must be properly cited.

The journal employs a double-blind peer review process to ensure objective and unbiased evaluation of submitted manuscripts.
- Confidentiality
All materials submitted for consideration are treated as confidential and may not be disclosed or discussed with third parties prior to publication.
- Editorial Independence
Editorial decisions are made solely on the basis of the scholarly merit of the submission, without external influence or bias.
- Corrections and Retractions
In cases where significant errors or ethical violations are discovered, the editorial board reserves the right to publish corrections or formally retract the article with an explanation of the reasons.
Сonflict of interest
Authors are required to disclose any sources of financial support, as well as any personal or professional relationships that could be perceived as a potential conflict of interest.
Reviewers must decline to review a manuscript if they have a potential conflict of interest (e.g., personal or institutional affiliation with the author, or involvement in the subject matter).
Editors must refer a submission to another member of the editorial board if they have a personal or professional interest that could affect their impartiality in the publication decision.
All disclosures of potential conflicts of interest are treated confidentially and do not influence the editorial evaluation of the manuscript unless they compromise its academic integrity.
