The permissions policy in philological research has its specific features, as the objects of study are often copyrighted texts, private archives, live speech recordings, or specific digital corpora. In this regard, the preparation of a publication involves the settlement of ethical and legal aspects, in particular:

– if the study involved human participants, the editorial office will require the author(s) to provide copies of permissions from bioethics committees (commissions) or respondents (officially executed, signed by responsible persons, and registered certificates, extracts from protocols, statements, etc.), which the author(s) must submit as a separate file along with the manuscript or upon the request of the editorial office after submission;

– if a translation by another person is used as an object of analysis in the manuscript, the translator must be credited;

– if the research uses the full text of a work for analysis, for example, a little-known poem, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright holder;

– in sociolinguistic studies, it is important to include information on age, education, and the region where the survey was conducted, but all personal data (surname, exact address) must be hidden or replaced with pseudonyms upon the respondent’s request;

– if a manuscript text from library or museum collections is introduced into scientific circulation for the first time in the article, the author(s) must provide permission from the holding institution;

– when using open linguistic corpora, their licensing terms must be observed;

– if texts for discourse analysis are selected from social networks or media, the author(s) must consider the privacy policies of the platforms and ethical norms (avoiding de-anonymization of users without their consent).
