Abstract. This article examines the essence, characteristics, and application of ethical communication principles in academic speech within the contemporary scientific environment. Academic communication plays a significant role in the transmission and exchange of scientific knowledge, and its effectiveness largely depends on adherence to ethical standards. The aim of the study is to identify the main ethical communication principles in academic speech, analyze their impact on academic activities, and evaluate current challenges in this field. The research employs methods of analysis, comparison, generalization, and systematization. The findings indicate that honesty, objectivity, academic responsibility, mutual respect, tolerance, and academic integrity constitute the fundamental principles of ethical communication. The study reveals that compliance with these principles contributes to the development of trust in the academic community, enhances the effectiveness of scientific discussions, and promotes academic cooperation. Furthermore, plagiarism, distortion of information, and unethical communicative behavior are identified as major factors negatively affecting the quality of academic activities. The results demonstrate that ethical communication is an essential component of academic culture and a prerequisite for maintaining credibility and professionalism in scientific discourse. Consequently, adherence to ethical communication principles in academic speech is of great importance for fostering a healthy academic environment and improving the quality of scientific research and education.
