Dear readers!
Abstract
Almost in all local
scientific journals, including those devoted to medicine, the time from
acceptance of the submitted articles to publication has been increasing due to
the only and well-known reason which has consequences such as limitation of
international contacts and “rerouting” of publications to the local journals –
this consequence is beneficial for the growth in the scientific ranking of the
local scientific periodicals. A call to overcome sanctions and to use
independent creative approach to scientific challenges also makes a positive
contribution. But these aims and wishes should correspond to the level of world
science and shouldn’t be scientific fantasies. Hype in science, especially in
currents circumstances in Russia is unacceptable! Stuart Ritchie’s “Science
Fictions. Exposing Fraud, Bias, Negligence and Hype in Science” (2020) is the
best warning about this dangerous trend. One of the most important steps to
prevent development of this scenario in Russian medicine is to scrupulously
select articles for publication in local journals.
Current issue of
Clinical and Experimental Surgery (# 2, 2024) is polythematic. Enjoy
reading!
