Dear authors,
We need to inform you about new procedures we are enacting in respect to your manuscripts.
Since our journal was included in the Emerging Sources Citation Index-Web of Science in 2016, the requirements for manuscript editing have become more rigorous. To meet the requirements assuring a quality translation, the final version of your manuscript (as approved by the editorial board after implementation of all the necessary amendments in response to reviewers’ comments) is to be edited by a professional editor who is a native English speaker.
An article may be edited either in American or in British English, but uniformity of editing style is mandatory.
Basing on our editorial experience, we consider the following editors to be completely reliable:
Organizations:
Manuscript editing by an organization is attested to by the issuance of a Certificate of Language Edit. This certificate is issued free of charge.
Private practitioners:
This list of reliable editors is a recommendation; it is not mandatory. This information is provided to facilitate and guide our collaboration under these new conditions.
In the case of editing by any other contractors (private practitioners or organizations), our editorial board performs an additional quality check, since we cannot be sure their work is reliable. The editorial board is not responsible for any risks (including the risk of financial losses) that arise from rejection of publication of the final text of your manuscript, if the editing was delegated to a contractor not represented in our list of reliable editors.
