Russian Chemical Bulletin operates under a subscription model. The full texts of the Russian version of the articles are available to subscribers upon payment via link or an individual request to the izvan@ioc.ac.ru. Some content may be made freely accessible after an embargo period or under specific agreements. The translated English versions are distributed by the publishing house Springer-Verlag GmbH and can be found under link.

Make shure, that original work is properly cited using DOI or a metadata of both English and Russian version.

Authors transfer the copyright for their articles to the ANO Editorial Board of the journal Uspekhi Khimii upon acceptance for publication. The Editorial Board holds the exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and make the articles publicly available.

For figures, tables, or text adapted from other sources, authors must obtain permission from the original copyright holders. The journal retains copyright over its layout, design, and website, while article content (text, abstracts, graphical abstracts, supplementary materials) is published under the journal's copyright.

The journal employs a rigorous peer-review system to ensure high scientific quality. Authors can choose between two review options: 1. Single-blind review (reviewers know authors' identities, but authors do not know reviewers).
2. Double-blind review (both authors and reviewers remain anonymous).
Authors must avoid self-referential language (e.g., "we previously showed...") in double-blind submissions. If no preference is indicated, single-blind review is applied by default.

• Objectivity: Provide fair, constructive feedback without personal criticism.
• Confidentiality: Do not disclose manuscript details or reviewer identity.
• Timeliness: Complete reviews promptly or notify the journal of delays.
• Misconduct Reporting: Alert the editorial office to any ethical concerns (plagiarism, data manipulation).

• All listed authors must have made significant intellectual contributions.
• Changes in authorship require written consent from all co-authors.
• Deceased authors may remain as co-authors if they contributed significantly; consent from legal representatives is required.
Presenting results
The authors must not fabricate, falsify or distort data or results. They should strive to be objective, unbiased and truthful in all aspects of their work. The authors must be honest in making statements and drawing conclusions regarding the results of both their own research and research of other authors.
The authors should critically evaluate the probability of experimental, methodological and human errors and avoid self-deception and bias. Where possible, they should conduct an internal verification to assess the validity of their work before publication.

• References must be relevant and properly cited.
• Excessive self-citation or citation manipulation is unethical.
• Editors may adjust reviewer-suggested citations to maintain anonymity.

If an error is discovered in a published paper, it should be recognized and a correction note, erratum or retraction should be published. The corrections should be approved by all authors of the original paper if there are no specific reasons that make this impossible. In this case, any disagreement between the authors should be noted in the published correction note.

All authors and co-authors have to disclose any potential conflicts of interest when they submit their manuscript. The conflicts of interest must be declared in the Acknowledgements section.

Examples of financial interests that should be disclosed:
Any direct sources of funds (employment, grants, patents, share ownership, sponsorship, etc.) or indirect sources of funds (consulting service, honoraria, equipment supplies, etc.) where the funding organization may gain or lose due to publication of the paper or where it is noticed that they might have influenced the submitted work.

Examples of personal relations/academic competitions that should be disclosed:
Any unpaid roles of authors that could influence the process of publication. These include unpaid advisory relationships and membership of professional organizations.
Any personal relations/beliefs that can be treated as a conflict should also be disclosed. This includes the presence of a relative employed at the organization that funds the work.

It is difficult to indicate the threshold where a financial or other interest becomes significant. There are two practical guidelines to solve this issue:
to declare any competing interests that could put you in an awkward position if they become known to public after publication of the work;
to declare any information that, being disclosed later, would make a sensible reader to feel misled or deceived.

Declaring conflicts of interest:
Any potential conflicts of interest should be declared in the Acknowledgements section.

The journal adheres to COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines, ensuring:
• Fair evaluation regardless of authors' background.
• Prompt investigation of misconduct allegations.
• Transparency in corrections and retractions.
The journal promotes a respectful, discrimination-free environment. Abusive behavior toward editors, reviewers, or staff may result in termination of collaboration.

Suspected fraud, plagiarism, or ethical violations are investigated with independent experts. The journal may:
o Issue expressions of concern during investigations.
o Retract problematic papers.
o Contact authors' institutions in severe cases.
Decisions are communicated to all involved parties.
