The editorial board of the scientific journal "Technological Complexes" takes responsibility for its duties, which ensure compliance, at all stages of publication of the required quality and reliability of the research results submitted in the manuscripts, and determines its ethical and other responsibility. Accordingly, all stakeholders (authors, reviewers and editors) must adhere to the standards of ethical conduct, which are regulated by СOPE.

The manuscript submitted to the journal certifies that the scientific publication was not protected by copyright. Before submitting the manuscript to the editorial office of the journal, the corresponding author must make sure that all co-authors have approved the latest version of it and have given their consent to the publication.

The manuscript should be written in scientific Ukrainian or English and contain a logical and clear structure and be designed in a style that corresponds to the template of the journal.

For the information of the authors, the editorial board of the scientific journal cannot make significant corrections to the manuscript, since there is a risk of distorting the purpose of the material presented in the article. When approving the final version of a scientific article and submitting it for publication, the corresponding author ensures its approval by all co-authors.

The editorial board of the journal puts forward the following basic rules to the authors of manuscripts:

• Creators should avoid copyright infringement and plagiarism. Authors whose manuscripts reveal a violation of academic integrity, including plagiarism, will be prohibited from submitting materials.
• Authors are responsible for ensuring that the manuscript submitted for publication is not published earlier or submitted for publication in another edition. Submitting manuscripts of articles that essentially describe the same study to multiple journals at the same time is unethical and unacceptable.
• Authors of the manuscript must declare a conflict of interest and, if necessary, apply for ethical approval. In the event that there is no conflict of interest, the authors should declare that they do not have any conflicts.

The author must provide a clear answer or refute the reviewers' comments that cannot be reviewed (the authors resubmit their revised manuscripts within two weeks, the "new" version is re-reviewed).
• Decline with incentive to re-submit. Manuscripts that require additional experimental or theoretical studies to support the findings will be rejected (authors are encouraged to resubmit the manuscript after further research).
• Reject The manuscript of the article contains serious shortcomings or there are no original solutions to the research problem (the manuscript is rejected without a proposal to re-submit it to the journal).

The editor, in his own research without the written consent of the authors, is not entitled to use unpublished information that was obtained during the receipt of manuscripts.

The editor must promptly take clear and balanced measures to respond to ethical complaints about the submitted manuscript or published article.
