The editorial board of Foreign Affairs informs the authors that they bear full personal responsibility for incorrect borrowing or use of research results of others and adherence to the ethics of scientific citation.

Authors must ensure:

• the originality of the articles submitted, that is, materials that have not been published in other publications in any languages;
• absence of plagiarism;
• links to relevant sources, if articles or texts of third parties are used.

Foreign Affairs uses Unicheck software to detect plagiarism.

The editorial board takes the following measures to prevent plagiarism:

• the material is verified for borrowings from the articles of third parties without appropriate links to the source;
• when considering the article, a conclusion is made about the absence or presence of plagiarism.

Plagiarism in all forms is unacceptable and is considered unethical. Manuscripts submitted to the editorial board are verified for originality according to the following indicators: if the originality of the text is over 85%, then the material is allowed for consideration; 75-85% – the author should verify the correctness of the citations and references to the sources used; under 75% – the material is not accepted for consideration.
