Reviewing

The procedure for reviewing scientific articles submitted to the editorial office:

  1. Manuscripts submitted to the editorial office undergo mandatory peer review.
  2. The head of the editorial board determines the compliance of the manuscript with the journal profile and formatting requirements.
  3. After reviewing at an editorial board meeting, the manuscript is sent to a specialist (doctor or candidate of sciences) with the closest scientific specialization to the topic. If the article does not correspond to the journal's scope, the author is notified.
  4. The type of review is blind (anonymous). The manuscript sent to the reviewer is the private property of the authors. The reviewer is not allowed to copy articles or transfer them to another specialist.
  5. The review period is no more than two weeks.
  6. The reviewer evaluates: the correspondence of the content to the title; the structure (problem statement, main part, and conclusions); scientific or technical novelty; advantages and disadvantages of the article.
  7. The reviewer gives a conclusion on publication:
    • accept the article;
    • accept with minor revisions — the author is sent the review with a proposal to make changes or to refute the reviewer's comments; the manuscript is then reviewed by the editorial board;
    • reconsider after significant revision — the author is sent the review with a proposal to revise; the revised article is sent for re-review;
    • reject the article — a motivated refusal is sent to the author; the article is not resubmitted.
  8. Manuscripts accepted for publication are not returned to the author.
  9. Manuscripts not accepted for publication, together with the motivated rejection, are returned to the author.
