Conflict of interests
- Definition
A conflict of interest is present when authors, reviewers, or editors have an implicit interest that can influence their opinions on the material published in the outlet.
A possible conflict of interest arises when there are financial, personal, or professional conditions that can influence the scientific judgment of a reviewer or editor, and ultimately, the editorial board's decision about whether or not to publish an article.
- Obligations regarding conflicts of interest.
The journal «Индустрии впечатлений. Технологии социокультурных исследований» / “Experience industries. Socio-Cultural Research Technologies” does not require a formal declaration of conflict of interest. However, by submitting an article for consideration, the author is expected to declare that:
–the text of the article clearly indicates the available sources of research funding;

If there is a conflict of interest, the author may:
–insist on the exclusion of a particular editor and/or reviewer from the list of persons considering the article sent by the author;
–file a statement about a potential conflict of interest at the time of submitting an article to the journal;
Representatives of the editorial board or persons involved in the review of an article must inform the editorial board of a potential conflict of interest that could affect its decision in one way or another.
If there is a conflict of interest between a representative of the editorial board or reviewer and the author of an article submitted to the journal, the material will be sent to another reviewer for review.
