The review procedure

Manuscripts are formatted in accordance with the requirements set forth by the journal's editorial board. Manuscripts are reviewed for compliance with the requirements by the editor-in-chief and members of the editorial board and may be returned for revision or rejected due to significant non-compliance with the editorial policy, ethical principles of the journal, and manuscript requirements. Notifications of receipt, return, or rejection of manuscripts are sent to authors by email.

Review process

All materials submitted for publication in the journal must be reviewed by experts in the relevant field. The article review process takes 4 weeks.

Each scientific work submitted to our journal undergoes mandatory double-blind peer review, which guarantees maximum objectivity and impartiality of evaluation by preserving the anonymity of both authors and reviewers. Each article is evaluated by at least two independent experts. The selection of experts is based on their scientific expertise in the relevant field, academic reputation, publication experience, specific recommendations, and previous review experience. This system ensures that each publication is evaluated solely on the basis of its scientific value, research quality, and relevance to the journal's profile.

After reviewing the materials, reviewers may make one of the following decisions:

• publish in the author's edition;
• publish with minor changes made by the editorial board (in agreement with the authors);
• return the manuscript to the author (if the article needs further work; the author may resubmit a revised manuscript of the scientific article);
• refuse publication (if the manuscript does not comply with the editorial policy, ethical principles of the journal, manuscript requirements, etc.).

The final decision on the publication of the manuscript is made based on the reviewers' conclusions and approved by the members of the editorial board who have no conflict of interest with regard to the article.
