To emphasize the chapters, two levels of their division can be used (e.g., 1. Sociodemographic approach; 1.1. Previous research).

The publication of contributions is decided based on a review by the editorial board. In case of doubt, the editorial board will ask for another anonymous review of the author. The final decision on the publication of the contribution is the right of the editorial board, which immediately informs the author of the rejection of the contribution. The reviewers are selected by the editors from among the relevant experts.

Publication ethics, copyright

The editors of the journal Regional Development between Theory and Practice assume that:

• the offered manuscript is an original work, i.e., it has not yet been published, nor is it offered for publication elsewhere (with the exception of publication as part of a dissertation or other university thesis, review, or lecture);

• the author (or the team of authors) offering the manuscript is the sole copyright holder of the manuscript;

• if the manuscript contains material to which a third party holds the copyright (e.g., pictorial attachments), the author has obtained permission for its full use before offering the manuscript to the editors;

• by submitting the manuscript, the author declares his/her serious interest in publishing the article only in the journal Regional Development between Theory and Practice and respecting the conditions: Creative Commons license "Attribution-NonCommercial-NoRework 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)"

The editors expect the authors to inform them of the fact that the entire manuscript, its part, or some substantial results have already been published elsewhere (except for publication as part of a dissertation or other university thesis, review, or lecture).

The editors assume that the offered text, including the title and abstract, is sufficiently different from other texts published or intended for publication in a peer-reviewed journal or monograph. Finding otherwise may lead to termination of the review process.

Reprint and share a published article

An article published in the journal Regional Development between Theory and Practice may be further shared by anyone, i.e. reproduced and distributed through any medium in any format, under the terms of the Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license, i.e.:

• Attribution - It is your responsibility to attribute, provide a link to the license with the work, and indicate your changes. You can do this in any reasonable way, but never in a way that suggests that the licensor endorses or endorses you or your use of the work.

Plagiarism

All or part of imitations (copies) of older works and presentations, passed off as original work, are considered plagiarism. Authors may not use the "copy and paste" method to publish multiple works in multiple publications, even if they have added little or no new information/knowledge. Authors who use significant portions of their own already published work, without providing proper references, are guilty of self-plagiarism.

Authors should try to avoid even minor plagiarism by providing appropriate references to the works used and by obtaining the necessary permission for use.

If plagiarism is proven, the editorial boards will officially contact the authors' institutions and their grant agencies with information about the violation of academic ethics. Additionally, the article will be withdrawn from the journal.

Handling complaints

If an ethical objection is raised about the submitted manuscript or published article, the editors will ensure a proper and fair investigation. Part of this process may involve contacting the author or his institution so that the objection is clarified. If the objection is found to be justified, further appropriate steps will be taken (correction of the published article, its withdrawal, etc.). Any objection or unethical behavior raised will be investigated, even if discovered years after publication.

If errors are found in the publication, they will be corrected, or the publication will be downloaded.

Editors may reject a manuscript even without a review if, for example, they find that its content does not relate to the focus of the journal, the quality of the manuscript is low or the criteria for publication are not met. As far as accepted and rejected articles are concerned, the editorial board and the editorial board must not have a conflict of interest.
