Peer Review

The review procedure includes a description of the type of review, criteria for selecting reviewers, deadlines, and forms of documentation and decision-making.
Reviewing is a mandatory and key stage in the acceptance of a scientific article for publication in the journal "Innovations in Preschool and Primary Education" and is aimed at ensuring the appropriate scientific level, academic integrity, and relevance of the materials to the publication's profile. The journal uses double-blind review, in which the reviewer has no information about the authors of the article, and the authors have no information about the reviewer. This ensures the objectivity, impartiality, and independence of the expert evaluation of the submitted materials.
Reviewers are selected by the editorial board based on their professional competence, scientific specialization, and experience in research and publication in the field of preschool and primary education, as well as the absence of conflicts of interest with the authors of the manuscript. The review period is up to 10 calendar days from the date of receipt of the article for review. The decision on publication (acceptance, revision, or rejection of the article) is made by the editorial board on the basis of the review no later than 15 calendar days. The review process is documented by saving written reviews (in electronic form).
