All scientific articles submitted to the editorial Board are subject to mandatory double-blind review (the reviewer does not know the authors of the manuscript, the authors of the manuscript do not know the reviewers).
Articles are reviewed by members of the editorial Board and editorial Board, as well as by invited reviewers from Russia and other countries. The decision to select a reviewer is made by the editor-in-chief, Deputy editor-in-chief, scientific editor, and head of the editorial office. The review period is 2-4 weeks, but it can be extended at the request of the reviewer.
Each reviewer has the right to refuse the review if there is a clear conflict of interests that affects the perception and interpretation of the manuscript materials. Based on the results of reviewing the manuscript, the reviewer makes reasonable recommendations:
• the article is recommended for publication in this form;
• the article is recommended for publication after correcting the shortcomings noted by the reviewer;
• the article needs additional review by another specialist;
* the article cannot be published in the journal.
If the review contains recommendations for correction and revision of the article, the editorial Board sends the author the text of the review with a proposal to take them into account when preparing a new version of the article or to refute them with arguments (partially or completely). Revision of the article should not take more than 2 months from the date of sending an email to the authors about the need for changes. The article modified by the author is re-sent for review.
If the authors refuse to finalize the materials, they must notify the editorial Board in writing or orally of their refusal to publish the article.
If the authors do not return the revised version after 3 months from the date of sending the review, even if there is no information from the authors with the refusal to finalize the article, the editorial Board removes it from the register. The authors are notified of the withdrawal of the manuscript from registration due to the expiration of the deadline for revision.
If the author and reviewers have unsolvable contradictions regarding the manuscript, the editorial Board has the right to send the manuscript for additional review. In conflict situations, the decision is made by the editor-in-chief at a meeting of the editorial Board.
The decision to refuse to publish a manuscript is made at a meeting of the editorial Board in accordance with the recommendations of the reviewers. An article that is not recommended for publication by the decision of the editorial Board is not accepted for re-consideration. A message about the refusal to publish is sent to the author by email.
The date of receipt of the article is the date when the Editorial office received the final version of the article.
The editorial Board reserves the right to make editorial changes to the text that do not distort the meaning of the article (literary and technological edits).
The original reviews are stored in the editorial office of the journal for 5 years.
The editorial Board sends copies of reviews to the Ministry of education and science of the Russian Federation upon receipt of the corresponding request.
