Author Guidelines

Clear Rules. Strong Research. Responsible Publishing

Publication ConditionsThe International Interdisciplinary Scientific Journal “ONE” welcomes original scholarly manuscripts from researchers, academics, doctoral candidates, and other qualified authors engaged in scientific or professional analytical work.
Only manuscripts that present original work and have not been previously published in any other publication will be considered for publication. Submissions must comply with accepted standards of academic integrity, citation, and referencing. The submission of plagiarism, falsified information, fabricated results, or any other form of academic misconduct is unacceptable and unethical.
Authors may use generative artificial intelligence or AI-assisted technologies solely for language editing, grammar correction, or improving the readability of the manuscript. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and scholarly validity of the manuscript. Any use of such technologies must be disclosed in the manuscript where applicable. Further details are available in the journal’s.

Модель безперервної публікації З січня 2026 року журнал працює за моделлю безперервної публікації. Рукописи, які успішно пройшли рецензування та редакційну оцінку, публікуються онлайн Continuous Publication Model Since January 2026, the journal has operated under a continuous publication model. Manuscripts that have successfully completed peer review and editorial evaluation are published online immediately after acceptance, without waiting for the completion of a full issue.
The journal publishes one annual volume, which remains open throughout the calendar year and is continuously updated with newly accepted articles. Each annual volume is officially closed on 28 December of the respective publication year.

  • In practice, this means:articles are published online immediately after successful completion of peer review and editorial assessment;
  • each accepted article is assigned a DOI, pagination, and a complete bibliographic record within the current annual volume;
  • readers and authors can follow the accumulation of articles in real time until the volume is formally closed.

This model ensures faster dissemination of research results, earlier visibility, and stronger citation potential.

Types of Contributions
The journal considers for publication scholarly manuscripts that contribute to theoretical, empirical, methodological, or conceptual development within the fields covered by the journal.
The journal publishes:

  • Original research articles presenting novel empirical findings, theoretical analyses, or validated methodological approaches;
  • Review articles that synthesise and critically evaluate existing literature, including systematic and scoping reviews prepared in accordance with recognised academic standards;
  • Methodological or conceptual papers that introduce new research frameworks, models, analytical methods, or theoretical interpretations;
  • Analytical case studies that provide generalisable scholarly insights rather than merely descriptive accounts;
  • Short research reports or research notes presenting preliminary but academically significant findings.

All research manuscripts are subject to peer review in accordance with the journal’s Peer Review Process. Submissions that do not demonstrate an independent scholarly contribution, methodological soundness, or relevance to the journal’s scope will not be considered for publication.
