Reviewing
The Editorial Staff ensures that all submitted
manuscripts which correspond to the journal’s theme are reviewed with the aim
of expert evaluation.
All reviewers are recognized experts on the topic of
the manuscripts at hand and in the last 3 years have publications on the
subject of the manuscript under review.
The decision to publish is made on the basis of at
least two expert reviews on the manuscript’s topic.
The review is carried out anonymously and independently
(according to the principle of double-blind review).
The review contains a comprehensive and complete
assessment of the manuscript, it reflects the reviewer's comments and the
conclusion about the advisability of publication of the manuscript in its current
form or publishing it after removal of the remarks, or the inadvisability of
the publication.
If necessary, anonymous reviews are submitted to the
author to rectify the shortcomings of the manuscript. After taking into account
the remarks, the manuscript is again considered by the Editorial Board and
subjected to another review procedure.
In case of irreconcilable contradictions between the
author and the reviewers concerning the evaluation of the manuscript, the
Editorial Board has the right to send the manuscript for an additional review.
In conflict situations, the decision is made by the Editorial Board.
Reviews are retained in the Editorial Office for 5 years.
