Peer review

All the submitted articles are subjected to a single-blind review.

The reviewing procedure is carried out by reviewers who are mainly from among the members of the Editorial Board, as well as by invited experts. All reviewers are recognized experts on the subject of the article reviewed and have publications on the same subject over the past 3 years.

The decision on the choice of a reviewer is made by the Chief Editor and the Editorial Secretary. Each article is sent to at least two reviewers.

Reviews are kept in the editorial office for 5 years.

Following the review of the manuscript, the reviewer makes recommendations on the further fate of the manuscript (each decision of the reviewer is justified):

the work is recommended for publication in a given form;

the work is recommended for publication after correcting the deficiencies noted by the reviewer;

the work needs additional review by another specialist;

the work cannot be published in the journal.

If the review contains recommendations on the correction and revision of the manuscript, the editors send the author the text of the review with a proposal to take them into account and to prepare the new version of the manuscript or to refute them reasonably (partially or completely). The manuscript modified by the author is re-sent for review.

The decision to refuse to publish the manuscript is made collectively by editorial board in accordance with the recommendations of the reviewers. The paper, which is not recommended by the decision of the editorial board for publication, is not accepted for reconsideration. The message about the refusal to publish will be sent to the author by e-mail along with the reviews.

If the author and reviewers have insoluble contradictions regarding the manuscript, the editorial board has the right to send the manuscript for additional reviewing. In conflict situations, the decision is made by the responsible editor at the meeting of the Editorial Board.

A positive review is not sufficient to publish an article. The final decision on the publication is made by the Editorial Board. In conflict situations, the decision is made by the Chief Editor.

In case of refusal of the authors to revise the materials, they must notify the editors in writing or orally of their refusal to publish the article.

After the Editorial Board makes a decision on admission of an article to publication, the editors inform the author and indicate the approximate publication time.

The editors send copies of the reviews to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russian Federation upon request.

Each issue of a journal that is ready for publication is reviewed by two specialists who are not members of the Editorial Board or Editorial Advisory Board. Based on these reviews, the academic council of the journal founder makes a decision on the publication of the journal.
