The procedure for reviewing articles


Порядок рецензирования статей

Ethical principles of peer review

A reviewer cannot be a member of a long-term scientific team, which includes the authors of the reviewing material, as well as a repeated co-author on other research materials. The research supervisor (research consultant) of any of the authors who are applicants for a scientific degree cannot act as a reviewer. The reviewer is an expert in the subdisciplinary field and the reviewed manuscript is devoted to his/her research interests. The review should objectively evaluate the scientific article and contain a comprehensive analysis of its scientific and methodological advantages and disadvantages. The reviewer should not use the information about the content of the article before its publication in his/her own interests. The article under review is a confidential document, it cannot be transferred for review or discussion to third parties.

Review procedure

1. All articles submitted to the Publishing House are subject to mandatory independent review.

2. The manuscript of a scientific article received by the Publishing House of the Journal is reviewed by the Chief Specialist for compliance with the profile of the journal, the main provisions of the requirements for publications and design.

3. The authors are notified about the receipt of the article and further changes in its status via e-mail notifications.

4. Articles that cannot be allowed for publishing in a scientific journal: articles containing previously published material;

articles with less than 80% originality;

articles written without meeting the requirements for the design of journal articles;

articles whose authors do not fulfill the constructive remarks of the reviewer or do not reasonably refute them.

5. The executive secretary of the journal sends the article for review to one or if necessary, two reviewers. Members of the editorial board of the journal as well as highly qualified scientists and specialists from other organizations with professional knowledge and experience in a particular scientific area can be attracted to review manuscripts as reviewers.

6. Terms of review are 15 days.

7. "Two-sided blind” revision: information about the reviewer (reviewers) is not reported to the author and vice versa. The author receives a review without a signature and indication of the name, position, place of work of the reviewer.

8. If the reviewer indicates recommendations for correcting and finalizing the article, the editor of the journal sends the text of the review to the author with a proposal to take them into consideration while preparing a new version of the article or to refute them with arguments (partially or completely).

9. A letter from the authors must be attached to the revised manuscript, containing answers to all comments and explaining all the changes made to the article (highlight the changes in a separate file and in the text of the article). The article modified (revised) by the author is re-sent for review together with attached response to the reviewer. The date of receipt of the article by the Publishing board is the date of return of the revised article.

10. The editors reserve the right to reject the article if the author is unable or unwilling to take into account the editorial comments.

11. An article not recommended by the reviewer for publication is not accepted for re-consideration.

12. If there are negative reviews on the manuscript or on its revised version, the article is rejected with the obligatory notification of the author about the reasons for such a decision.

13. After the editorial board of the journal makes a decision on the admission of the article for publication, the executive secretary of the journal informs the author about this and indicates the possible terms of publication.

14. If the article is accepted for publication, the responsible secretary sends a payment document to the author, which indicates the cost of publication and contact details of the Publishing House. The publication can be paid for by authors, universities, scientific and other organizations, as well as at the expense of grants. At the request of the author, all necessary documents confirming the publication are provided: contracts, acts, invoices, certificates.

15. The order of publication of articles is determined by the date of registration of their receipt by the Publishing House. Articles of utmost science concern as well as containing fundamentally new information, can be published out of turn by the decision of the editorial board.

The publishing house is not involved in discussions of article contents with the authors; correspondence on the methodology of writing and designing scientific articles; and not involved in bringing up the articles to the required scientific and methodological level.
