AUTHOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
By submitting an article for publication in the Latvian War Museum Yearbook, the author certifies that the submitted article is his or her own original work, that it has not been previously published, and that it has not been simultaneously submitted for publication in another journal. Publishing the same article in multiple journals is considered unethical and is not permitted. If, for any reason, the editorial board agrees to the republication of an article or a portion thereof, a reference to the original publication must be included.
If an article submitted for publication is based on a defended academic thesis (e.g., a master’s thesis), this must be indicated in a note next to the article title, specifying the educational institution, the title of the thesis, and the thesis advisor.
Authors guarantee that the works they submit are entirely original. Plagiarism in any form is considered unethical in publishing and is unacceptable. If authors have used the works of other authors, they must be properly cited or referenced.
Authors are responsible for obtaining all necessary copyright permissions to reproduce any third-party materials (images, tables, texts, etc.) that are considered separate copyrighted works. A copy of each permission must be submitted to the editor.
All sources of financial support must be listed in the “Acknowledgments” section. It is the author’s responsibility to disclose in the manuscript any potential conflicts of interest (including the source of research funding) that could be considered to have influenced the study’s results or the interpretation of the sources used.
The author ensures that all those who have made a significant contribution to the research described in the publication are recognized as authors or co-authors of the article. The author ensures that all co-authors have approved the final version of the article for publication and have agreed to its publication in an open-access journal. All authors agree that the articles are available under an open-access license in accordance with the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 (CC BY-NC 4.0) license.
Before submitting an article, the author ensures that it is thematically appropriate, well-structured, reviewed, and formatted in accordance with the guidelines. If an article does not meet the Yearbook’s objectives, subject matter, or formatting requirements, the editor-in-chief may reject it without further consideration.
If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they are obligated to notify the journal’s editor immediately. The author, in collaboration with the editor and publisher, shall ensure that the publication is retracted or corrected.
USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TOOLS
If AI tools (such as large language models, generative AI technology, and chatbots) were used in the preparation of the article, their use must be clearly indicated in the article. The author must include a statement specifying which tool was used, for what purposes it was used, and the rationale and objective for its use. This statement should be included in the description of the methodology used in the article.
Tools that do not generate new content but process text written by the author themselves do not need to be disclosed and are permitted. For example: translation and text editing tools, as well as tools for improving spelling and style. When using these tools, the author is required to review the suggestions provided by the AI tools, and the author assumes full responsibility for the content of the article upon submission.
