Психолого-педагогические науки»
Научные статьи принимаются и рецензируются членами редакционного совета по направлению Психолого-педагогические науки. Принимаются статьи, научные обзоры, неопубликованные малоизвестные научные данные по заявленной проблематике от ученых, преподавателей, аспирантов, докторантов, научных сотрудников.
При получении рукописи в электронном варианте редакционным советом журнала проводится проверка на соответствие присланных материалов формальным требованиям, указанным на сайте журнала в разделе «Информация для авторов».
Если формальные требования к материалам на публикацию не выполнены, то статья к публикации не принимается «по формальным признакам» и об этом сообщается автору по электронной почте.
Если формальные требования выполнены, то статья в обязательном порядке проходит внутреннее рецензирование (в течение 30 дней) членами редакционного совета или специально привлекаемыми рецензентами – докторами наук по научному направлению статьи, не входящими в состав совета.
Привлечение рецензентов осуществляется в случае необходимости, определяемой членами редакционного совета.
Целью внутреннего рецензирования является содержательная экспертная оценка качества научной статьи по следующим обязательным критериям научности:
-соответствие названия статьи ее содержанию;
- формулировка решаемой проблемы или задачи;
- обоснование актуальности представленных материалов;
-исследовательский характер статьи;
- аргументированность изложения и выводов, в частности, наличие ссылок на использованную литературу и другие информационные источники;
-научная новизна и практическая значимость полученных результатов;
- наличие выводов по результатам статьи;
- наличие списка источников со ссылками на источники в тексте статьи.
При получении отрицательной внутренней рецензии редакция оставляет за собой право не публиковать статью или отправляет ее на доработку. Внутренние рецензии хранятся в редакции научного журнала вместе с материалами на публикацию статей без ограничения срока.

If the formal requirements are met, the article is subject to a compulsory reviewing by the members of the editorial board and specially designated reviewers – Doctors of Sciences majoring in the specified fields of research but not belonging to the editorial board.
Bringing in the outside reviewers is implemented by necessity determined by the members of the editorial board.
The purpose of inner reviewing is a content expert assessment of the quality of the scientific article as per the following scientificity criteria:
- Correspondence of an article’s title to its content;
- Formulation of a research challenge or task;
- Proving the timeliness of the submitted materials;

Editorial policy on the use of generative artificial intelligence in publications
Scope
This policy governs the use of generative artificial intelligence (hereinafter referred to as GenAI) tools by authors, reviewers, and the editorial staff of the journal "Tidings of the Baltic State Academy of Fishing Fleet: Psychological and Pedagogical Sciences (Theory and Methods of Professional Education)" at all stages, from manuscript preparation to post-publication support. This policy operates in conjunction with the journal's publication ethics and other policies. The current policy is not final; individual sections may be revised depending on the conditions of working with GenAI and progress in this field.
General principles
- No GenAI program may be named or be noted by the author or co-authors as contributing to the article.
- Responsibility for the information obtained using GenAI lies solely with the human (author/reviewer/editor).
- Any result obtained with the help of GenAI must be critically assessed by the human.
- Any use of GenAI must be disclosed appropriately.
- Manuscripts, reviews, non-public data/images, and personal information are not uploaded to public AI services. A “public service” refers to an external online platform where the provider can store/use the entered data.
- Security, data protection, copyright and related rights standards are observed.
- Automatic “AI detectors” are used only for screening; final decisions on the possibility of publishing an article are made only after expert evaluation.
Using GenAI tools by the authors
The editorial board of the journal "Tidings of the Baltic State Academy of Fishing Fleet: Psychological and Pedagogical Sciences (Theory and Methods of Professional Education)" permits authors to use programs with generative artificial intelligence only for the following purposes:
- spell and punctuation check;
- use of bibliographic reference managers;
- improving the text readability;
- formatting the text according to the journal's requirements;
- raw data analysis;
- development of research design and/or methods;
- systematization of sources for the review;
- writing a program code;
- development of the article structure.
The editorial board of the journal "Tidings of the Baltic State Academy of Fishing Fleet: Psychological and Pedagogical Sciences (Theory and Methods of Professional Education)" prohibits the use of the programs with generative artificial intelligence in the following way:
- generation of scientific ideas;
- generation of scientific knowledge or developing recommendations;
- creation of any type of content, including annotations and supplementary materials;
- interpretation of data;
- drawing conclusions and creating authoritative content;
- creation or modifying images and raw data, as well as preparation of graphical annotations (unless the subject of the articles is image or data generation);
- citation of GenAI program responses in the text of the article.
Disclosure of information on the use of GenAI
The editorial board of the journal "Tidings of the Baltic State Academy of Fishing Fleet: Psychological and Pedagogical Sciences (Theory and Methods of Professional Education)" obliges authors to indicate information about the use/non-use of GenAI tools in a declaration after the text of the article:
Using GenAI tools
The disclosure must include information about which GenAI tool has been used (name, version and number), the purpose for which it has been used and the way it has been used. For example, «Generative AI tools (DeepSeek-V4-Pro, ChatGPT-5.5) have been used for language editing. All results have been verified by the authors; confidential data has not been transmitted to public services».
If GenAI has not been used in the research process and preparation of the article, please indicate this. For example: «The authors have not used generative artificial intelligence programs in preparing the manuscript».
Authors must send prompts and obtained results in response to the editorial request.
Using GenAI in peer review
A reviewer should not do the following, even for the purpose of improving the language of the review:
- upload the article text or its fragments to a GenAI program due to the potential breach of confidentiality;
- upload the review text or its fragments to a GenAI program due to the potential breach of confidentiality;
- use a GenAI program to evaluate the article.
If a reviewer suspects that GenAI has been used in the article, he/she should notify the editor.
If a reviewer wishes to conduct additional checking of the manuscript using GenAI detectors, he/she should notify the editor.
Using GenAI when editing an article
An editor should not do the following even for the purpose of improving the language:
- uploading the text of an article or its fragments into a program with GenAI due to a possible breach of confidentiality;
- uploading the text of a review or its fragments into a program with GenAI due to a possible breach of confidentiality;
- using a program with GenAI to combine reviewers' comments and prepare a letter to the author with the final publication decision.
Actions of the editorial board upon discovery of undisclosed use of GenAI (before or after publication)
A journal editor may suspect undeclared or inappropriate use of GenAI before or after publication. If suspicions arise, the journal's editorial board will proceed as follows:
- Request clarification from the authors;
- Request proof of independent work on the article text- drafts, unprocessed data;
- Check the article text in an alternative GenAI detector (without using a GenAI chatbot);
- Check the author's texts written before the advent of GenAI programs for generated fragments;
- Conduct an interview with the author.
After collecting the information, the journal's editorial board reviews the article and determines the impact of the GenAI on the research results, then makes a decision on the article's fate:
- make changes/additions to the article with the appropriate note;
- retract the article according to the existing algorithm.
Dispute resolutions
Each suspicious case is handled individually. In the event of a dispute, the journal's editorial board relies on existing guidelines and recommendations, as well as its own policy regarding the use of GenAI.
