Plagiarism Statement

All manuscripts that are being sent for an external peer review, are screened for originality. By submitting their manuscripts to the journal authors are agreeing to any necessary originality checks the manuscript may have to undergo during the publication process.

The Publishing Company "Business Perspectives" advocates adherence to the principles of ethics and integrity of science, which is why it has chosen a reliable partner in ensuring the scientific publications quality and has concluded a cooperation agreement with Unicheck.

The service was created by Ukrainian developers in 2014 and is actively functioning at academic institutions, universities, publishing houses, etc. in Ukraine, Belgium, the USA and other countries of the world.

Clear and manageable reporting data (search and ability to take properly cited sentences and list of references); colorizing all text similarities and generating a list of links to original sources; automatic determining the characters and letters replacement in the text, as well as the reverse automatic substitution into the text of the correct ones and search for a modified version plagiarism; one-page test rate is 2-4 seconds; possibility of simultaneous check up as much as 100 works; support for 18 file formats; and multilingualism (56 languages) are the service advantages. Thanks to the detailed reports generated by Unicheck, the evaluating each work gets much simpler and faster.

Besides the Ukrainian software, manuscripts are additionally tested using the powerful Similarity Check service initiated by the PILA publishers association and embedded in CrossRef international scientific and research information register. This service is developed for publishers to prevent scientific and professional plagiarism; it consists of Similarity Check and the iThenticate tool, which compares the author's work with the database contents and shows similarities or similar text for further review of the academic paper.

Plagiarism implies the use another author's work without permission or acknowledgement. Plagiarism may have different forms from copying word by word to rewriting. While defining plagiarism the following definitions are taken into account:

Literal copying
Copying the work word by word, in general or in parts, without permission or acknowledgement of the source. Literal copying is clearly plagiarism and is easily detected by plagiarism software.

Substantial copying
Replicating substantial part of the work without permission and confirmation of the source. In determining what is "substantial", both the quantity and the quality of the copied content are relevant. Quality is measured by relative value of copied text comparing to the whole text. Where the essence of the work was copied, even not very big part of it, plagiarism is identified.

Paraphrasing
Copying may be made without literal replicating, used in the original work. This type of copying is known as paraphrasing and it may be the most difficult type of plagiarism to reveal.
Plagiarism in all its forms is unacceptable and will lead to immediate rejection of the paper along with possible sanctions against authors.

Structural elements of a manuscript (document)

Title
The title of the manuscript must fully reflect the topic of the research and its content. It must be short and concrete (not more than 15 words). In addition, it should interest the reader and be written in a scientific style. It is appropriate to point to the object of research or concretize it using a colon or brackets. It is not recommended to use abbreviations, and if you do use them, then only use commonly known ones.

Author (authors)
Here, the name (first name and last name) of the author (authors) must be written. Those authors who use the patronymic or middle name should write only the first. The authors whose names are written in the Cyrillic alphabet must transliterate them correctly. Those who need transliteration can use the website http://translit.net/ua/.
After the authors’ names, their academic degree and academic rank, places of work (university, academic institution, etc., or the organization to which they belong) (Affiliation), city, and country are indicated. If a city or country name is already used as an affiliation indication, both the city and country should still be included. The name of the organization or the institution must be indicated, separated by a comma in the nominative case, and this name must be full, without abbreviations or acronyms. Authors should also provide their email address.
If there are several authors, they make a decision themselves concerning the order of their mentioning in the title of the paper (recommended variant – depending on contribution to research). The list of authors includes only those persons who have really taken part in the research and agreed to bear full responsibility for its content. Research funding or taking part in paying the article processing charge is not a requirement for inclusion as a co-author. While forming the list of authors, special attention should be paid to the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) principles.

To bring the academic degrees, academic ranks, and occupations, which are used in some emerging economies or developing countries, in line with the international standards, the corresponding table should be used ENGLISH EQUIVALENTS FOR ACADEMIC RANKS, DEGREES AND JOB TITLES.

Abstract
An abstract must fully reflect the paper’s content. It is advisable to use Passive Voice or sentences such as “The paper deals with…” or “The study analyzes…” This should be done according to the following algorithm: First two or three sentences indicate the relevance of the topic; the aim and object of the study are defined; the methodology (methods) of the study (for theoretical studies – its theoretical basis) is described; the results obtained are characterized, conclusions are drawn from them, and the practical value (if any) is indicated. The main body of the abstract should demonstrate the result.
Every statement must follow logically from the previous one. It is recommended to use the numerical results in the abstract of the research paper. The abstract of the review article should indicate the issues under study and, as a result, present the author's summary of the analysis.
The text should be concise and original. It is not appropriate to use the sentences in the Abstract from the text of the paper. At the same time, the material that is absent in the paper cannot be presented in the Abstract. It is advisable not to refer to any sources in the abstract; tables and figures cannot be used.
The number of words should be between 150 and 250. Non-standard or unusual abbreviations should be avoided, but if they are important, they should be expanded upon first mention in the abstract.

Кeywords
The purpose of keywords is to give the reader an idea of the content of the article. They should reflect the area of the study. The number of keywords should be 5-10 on average. There should not be sentences, but words or word groups. If the object of the study is not mentioned in the title of the paper (including the country, the region), it should be added to the list of keywords. There is no need to replicate words from the title of the manuscript.

JEL Classification
If the author is not previously familiar with this classification system, he/she should read it carefully to gain a general understanding of all the areas defined in it http://www.aeaweb.org/jel/jel_class_system.php. The codes, indicated by the author, should clearly reflect the research area. The author is welcome to use the codes from two or three areas, if they are covered in the study.

Introduction
Both scientific issues and the relevance of the study should be substantiated and explained in the introduction. Also, a problem statement should be pointed out. The introduction should not be long; the author should avoid using tables and figures.

Literature Review
Literature review provides an analysis and generalization of relevant works (papers, monographs, reports, theses, etc.), which describe the essence of the problem and/or give an understanding of the previous efforts to solve it. The Literature Review should comply with the aim of the study (“fitness for purpose”) and represent the results of a critical analysis of the analytical base for testing the research hypothesis.
Literature review must not be limited only to works that were published in the country where the author lives and works (the problem should be studied globally). This is especially true for authors from non-English-speaking countries (they are advised to carefully review works published in English).
If appropriate, normative legal acts are also analyzed.
Only those sources are given and analyzed in the paper that are really valuable for the author’s research. The author cannot just compile long lists of authors and their works that are relevant to the subject under study. The author cannot take the pieces of review text from other works with reference to other authors and include their works in the list of references. When citing, the author is obliged to observe ethical and moral principles.
While making a literature review, the author can use their own publications and refer to them, but only in order to describe the problem, not to increase the citation level.
It is recommended to finish the literature review with the presentation of unsolved issues, identification of contradictions in the results and findings of the previous research, justification of the need to continue the studies in this area, and choice of the specific topic (direction) of this study.
In the literature review and throughout the text of the paper as a whole, references to the sources are made in compliance with Reference list and citation style guide, or refer to APA formatting and style guide (American Psychological Association).

Aims
The aim describes the main results shortly and concretely (in one sentence), the achievement of which is the purpose of the study. Here you can also mention several intermediate problems, the solution of which will ensure that the aim is achieved. The aim should not replicate the title of the manuscript.

Methods
The methods (methodology) of the study are indicated in this section (commonly known), which the author uses in the study, and/or the methodology offered by the author himself is described shortly and concretely. If methods and procedures offered are used in other works, the author should refer to the original sources.
In this subsection of the theoretical paper, the theoretical basis of the study should be described, and theories, perspectives, formulae, and equations should be presented.
If commonly known statistical procedures are used in the paper, the author should not describe their essence; it is sufficient just to point them.

Ethics policies in human research
As a researcher, you have an ethical obligation to conduct your investigation and survey in accordance with national and international research ethics guidelines. Please refer to the COPE Guidelines on good publication practice.
Research involving human participants, especially qualitative research, requires a clear explanation of how impartiality, anonymity, and participant consent were ensured. Institutional review boards (IRBs) or research ethics committees should provide (if applicable) a fundamental safeguard for individuals participating in research by conducting initial and ongoing independent evaluations to ensure the ethical integrity of human research proposals. Authors must obtain informed consent from all participants, which means explaining how anonymity will be protected and how data will be stored and used. If a survey is used, please indicate in the manuscript what data were collected, where respondents were recruited from, how they were selected, what options were provided in the questionnaire, describe the frequency of observations, and what types of data will be recorded.
Researchers may be requested to submit data supporting their research for editorial evaluation and/or to comply with the journal's open data policies. They must be prepared to make these data publicly available where feasible and ensure their retention for a reasonable period following publication, while at the same time ensuring the confidentiality of the data.
The sharing of data and other materials obtained should be confidential, where applicable, to protect the identity of research participants. Remove personal identifiers before sharing data and, if needed, implement additional methods to prevent disclosure. Researchers disclose sources of financial support in the submitted manuscript and acknowledge any special affiliations with sponsors. The authors also reveal the fundamental assumptions, theories, methodologies, measurements, and research designs that may influence their findings and interpretations.

Results
This is where empirical or theoretical data obtained during the research process are presented. It is recommended to use figures, tables, graphs, and schemes. Interpretation of the results obtained is not performed in this section. Also, results obtained previously by the authors or other scientists should not be presented.

Discussion
Here, the interpretation of the results obtained during the research is performed. A comparison is made with the results obtained by other researchers.

Conclusion
In this section, the main ideas of the manuscript are presented, and the obtained results and their novelty are demonstrated. The possibility of practical use of the obtained results should be outlined, and the directions for further scientific research should be offered.

Acceptance rate

Editorial Board members and reviewers constantly work on increasing the efficiency of manuscripts evaluation and selection of the papers that present extreme importance to the scientific field. In this respect, there are factors that result in a rejection of a significant share of papers submitted for publication. The reasons for rejection can be different. Main reasons are listed in Peer Review and Research Misconduct Policies.

LLC “CPC "Business Perspectives emphasizes that in no case place of work or country of residence of the scientist, his racial or religious affiliation can be the reason for rejection.

In this respect, we ask the authors to pay attention to necessity of observing publication ethics principles. Submitted manuscripts should be relevant in content and comply with the aim, tasks and specialization of the journal.

The language of the manuscript should be professional, and the format should comply with the standards given.
