The review process
Articles submitted to the editorial office of the journal and meeting the formal requirements for design and the degree of originality are necessarily reviewed.
The review is conducted by double-blind peer review. The double review is conducted confidentially, the author is not informed of the name of the reviewer, and the reviewer is not informed of the name of the author of the article.
Reviewers should be experts on the subject of the article, with appropriate academic and academic degrees. Reviewers are notified that the article submitted to them for review is the intellectual property of the author(s) and refers to information that is not subject to disclosure.
The editor of the journal conducts an initial assessment of the article for compliance with the profile of the journal.
If the author(s) of the article has a conflict of interest with other scientists, he(s) is obliged to indicate the existence of such a conflict of interest in an email in order to avoid sending this article to the specified reviewer and biased assessments of the article.
As a result of the evaluation of the article, the reviewer makes the following decision:
recommend an article for publication;
recommend the article for publication after revision, taking into account the comments;
recommend rejecting the article.
The editor sends the evaluation results to the author without specifying the reviewers' data. If the review contains recommendations for correcting and finalizing the article, the editorial board sends the text of the review to the author of the article with a proposal to take these recommendations into account when preparing a new version of the article or to refute them (partially or completely). The author(s) may, without explanation, refuse to respond to comments, make changes to the article and resend it to the editorial office of the journal. If the author does not provide a revised version of the article within 10 calendar days from the date of sending him the reviewer's response, the editorial board removes the article from the register.
The article revised by the author is re-sent for review.
An article for which there are positive opinions from two reviewers and the responsible editor is recommended for publication in the journal according to the order of their acceptance for publication.
If one of the reviewers provided a positive opinion and the other a negative one, the article is sent by the editor to the third reviewer or a member of the editorial board who is an expert on the subject of the article and has no conflict of interest. If a third reviewer or a member of the editorial board provides a positive opinion, the article is recommended for publication.
The Editorial Board does not enter into discussions with the authors about the decisions it makes.
