Recent News and Releases

Our city and my workplace are not far from the front line. Of course, everyone is tired. Every day brings new losses, and good news is rare. But yesterday there were two. The first is that the journal I oversee at Business Perspectives, namely, Accounting and Financial Control, has been accepted for indexing in the Scopus database. This is great news in my professional life. But even more wonderful news happened on the same day in my ordinary life. An enemy drone (Shahed) flew into our house. No, I didn't misspeak, the news is really great because the drone didn't detonate... Didn't explode... Didn't take our lives and our home... So, there are two pieces of wonderful news that I want to share with you.

February 24, 2024 marks three years since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began. Many Ukrainian scientists were forced to leave their country and seek safe haven.

The war continues... Having unleashed it, the enemy has violated not only all international norms of peaceful life, but also daily neglects the rules of warfare.

Dear fellow scientists and publishers,
Picture this: You are working from home in your own apartment. On the table there is a laptop, a pile of printouts, a piece of paper with a plan for mandatory tasks for tomorrow... A three-year-old child who needed attention all day long is enjoying full communication with the parents... Evening bath. Warm water, foam, favorite toys, and mother's gentle hands... Bang!

It’s Friday, a typical workday in a frontline city. Like most of my compatriots from such cities, I work from home, that is, from my own apartment. Imagine that this is accompanied by constant sirens and messages on social media: “Air raid! Go to shelter immediately!!!” War tests our endurance. The threat of airstrikes, missiles, or kamikaze drones has become painfully commonplace... Despite these circumstances, that morning my colleagues and I finished examining the situation with the two articles retracted by our journals and prepared a response to the СОРЕ request.
