The editor is responsible for the initial scientific evaluation of the manuscript, regardless of the author's geographical origin, political-ideological position, religious belief, gender and ethnic-racial origin.

Manuscripts submitted to ASB will undergo a plagiarism/self-plagiarism detector before peer review, or at any time during the editorial process. To verify similarity with other publications, the editors will use the CopySpider software. Manuscripts with more than 10% similarity to other publications will not be accepted, and these submissions may be rejected at any time during the editorial process.
