Since the beginning of the unprovoked full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the publishing house has revised its policy and introduced additional provisions regarding cooperation with individuals and legal entities.

The editors of the ScienceRise: Biological Science journal do not cooperate with natural and legal persons – residents of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, persons who are in the territory of these states, are directly or indirectly sponsored by them or are in the State Register of Sanctions or other sanction lists, as well as in the case of information from recognized and reliable sources (state authorities, international organizations, etc.) about the involvement of the author(s) in money laundering or terrorist financing.

If the editors find that said individuals or entities have misrepresented their location, identity, or any other material information in order to avoid restrictions on manuscript acceptance for review or publication, or for any other reason, appropriate action will be taken accordingly to editorial policy, namely the deletion of an article manuscript, if it is under consideration, or the deletion of a published article.
