Peer-Review

All scientific articles submitted to the journal are reviewed.

The editorial board reviews all materials submitted to the editorial office that correspond to its subject matter. All reviewers are recognized experts on the subject of peer-reviewed materials and have published a paper on the subject of the reviewed article within 3 years.

The editor-in-chief decides on the compliance of the article with the journal scope, the design requirements and sends it for review to a doctor of sciences whose scientific interests match the topic of the article. Double-blind peer review is used when reviewers and authors do not know each other.

Peer review is practiced in two forms: internal (peer review of articles by scientists from the editorial board of the journal, at least three members of the editorial board); external (this is the review of articles by leading scientists - specialists in the relevant branch of science, freelance correspondents of the publishing house outside the editorial board).

In a critical review of an article, the reviewer must:

• indicate whether the text (as part of the study) contains new content, whether the research topic is relevant;
• to evaluate the logical structure of the text of the article: whether the author gives an introductory part, whether the main part reveals the thesis of the introduction, whether there is a convincing conclusion; and to trace whether the content generally corresponds to the title of the article;
• evaluate the quality of work;
• specify the shortcomings (if any) and ways to eliminate them;
• specify stylistic errors;
• note how the article corresponds to modern achievements of scientific and theoretical thought; whether there is scientific novelty in the article under consideration; whether the article is accessible to readers for whom it is intended, in terms of language, style, layout, clarity of tables, diagrams, drawings, etc;
• decide whether it is advisable to publish an article taking into account the previously published papers on this issue;
• identify what exactly are the positive aspects, as well as the disadvantages of the article, what corrections and additions should be made by the author;
• conclude about the possibility of publishing this article in the journal: "recommended", "recommended after correction of the shortcomings noted by the reviewer" or "not recommended".

In case of rejection of the article, the editorial board sends the author a reasoned refusal.

An article that is not recommended for publication by the reviewer is not accepted for reconsideration.

The text of the negative review is sent to the author upon his written request.

The presence of a positive review is not a sufficient reason for the publication of the article.

The final decision on the expediency of publication is made by the editorial board of the journal.

After the editorial board decides to allow the article to be published, the administrator, or another employee from the senior management of the publishing house, informs the author about this and indicates the expected publication dates.

The reviewer is solely responsible for evaluating the article.

The review is signed by the reviewer.

The review is conducted confidentially. The review is provided to the author of the article upon his written request without signature and indication of the surname, position, place of work of the reviewer, as well as upon request to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.
