Peer-Review
Accepted manuscripts are sent for review to assess their scientific content to several specialists of the relevant profile.
The editorial board of the journal has adopted international standards of double-blind peer review: for the objectivity of the recommendations, the identity of the reviewers is not revealed to the authors or other reviewers (only if the reviewers themselves are asked to specify the name). International ethical committees recommend that reviewers remain anonymous during and after the review.
Manuscripts undergo several stages of reviewing.
- Examination of the scientific level of the article is carried out by the editorial board and the responsible editor in accordance with the scientific specialization of the submitted article (open reviewing).
- Scientific reviewing of the article, its compliance with the journal subject, design requirements, evaluation of the completeness of the review are carried out by the editorial board of the electronic journal, the chief editor.
- The manuscript of the article is sent for review to one (several) of the members of the editorial board or invited specialists who have scientific specialization closest to the subject of the article (double-blind review).
The presence of a positive review is not a sufficient basis for the publication of the article.
Original reviews of all levels are stored for at least 1 year in the editorial office of the scientific journal.
Review process terms
- The beginning of the review process. The beginning for the calculation of the reviewing period is the assignment of the status of the registered article «Accepted for consideration». The status confirms the compliance of the manuscript with the requirements adopted by the editors.
- The review process. Accepted manuscripts are sent for reviewing to assess their scientific content to several specialists of the relevant profile.
