Archeologia technica is committed to publishing original, high-quality and ethically sound research. Plagiarism is regarded as a serious breach of academic integrity, and its prevention is essential for safeguarding the integrity of the scholarly environment.

Plagiarism is understood to include, in particular:

• the use of text, data, images, tables, graphs or other results without proper citation;
• the paraphrasing of another author’s ideas without acknowledging the source;
• presenting previously published work of one’s own as new research without clearly indicating the prior publication (so-called self-plagiarism);
• the use of materials obtained from third parties (including unpublished manuscripts, reviews or student work) without permission and citation;
• the submission of work produced entirely or partly with the aid of generative systems or external contributors without transparent disclosure.

Authors are required to:

• ensure that all parts of their manuscript are original;
• properly acknowledge all sources used, in accordance with the journal’s citation standards;
• provide information about any prior publication or duplication;
• declare the use of tools for automatic text generation and specify the extent of such use.

If plagiarism is confirmed before publication, the manuscript will be rejected immediately. If plagiarism is identified after publication, the article may be retracted and this fact will be publicly announced. In serious cases, authors may be temporarily or permanently barred from submitting future work to the journal. All listed authors share responsibility for the content of the manuscript.
