EASE Ukraine Participation at the 18th EASE Conference

Wednesday, 14 – Friday, 16 May 2025

In this presentation Prof. Izarova, Chair of the EASE Regional Chapter of Ukraine, will highlight the threat posed to academic publishing by journals operating under dubious circumstances in temporarily occupied territories. Drawing on the Ukrainian experience, she will examine how occupants appropriate Ukrainian academic journals, infringe on legitimate titles, archives, misuse ISSNs, and jeopardise scholarly credibility by disseminating manipulated or biased information.
These challenges go far beyond Ukraine, as similar cases have been observed globally. By discussing possible legal remedies, broader ethical implications, and measures for protecting academic integrity, professor Izarova hopes to encourage international dialogue on how editors and publishers can address the unique risks of publishing in conflict-affected regions.
