All scientific articles submitted to the editorial office 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 invited reviewers from Russia and other countries. The decision to choose a reviewer is made by the editor-in-chief, Deputy editor-in-chief, scientific editor, head of the editorial office. The review period is 2-4 weeks, but at the request of the reviewer it can be extended.
Each reviewer has the right to refuse the review in case of a clear conflict of interest affecting the perception and interpretation of the manuscript materials. Based on the results of the review of 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 text of the review to the author 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 e-mail to the authors about the need for changes. The article revised by the author is re-sent for review.
If the authors refuse to finalize the materials, they must notify the editors 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 in the absence of 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 in connection with the expiration of the time allotted 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 the manuscript is made at a meeting of the editorial Board in accordance with the recommendations of the reviewers. The article not recommended by the decision of the editorial Board for publication is not accepted for reconsideration. The refusal to publish is sent to the author by e-mail.
The date of receipt of the article is the date of receipt by the Editors of 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 editing).
