The order of review of articles. Reviewing.

The selection of articles for publication in the journal is as follows.

1. The received manuscript undergoes the process of initial evaluation in terms of compliance with formal and qualitative requirements: the journal's subject matter, rules for the design of articles, originality, clarity and consistency of presentation in literate Russian, etc. In case of non-compliance with these requirements, the article is not accepted for consideration, about which the Editorial Board notifies the author with an indication of the reason for refusal. As a rule, this happens within 5 days, starting from the date of receipt of the manuscript to the Editorial Office.

2. If the article is accepted for consideration, all further negotiations with the author are carried out by the editor, who sends the manuscript for review to experts – recognized experts on the subject of the reviewed material who have publications in this field over the past 3 years. In controversial cases, the article can be sent to more than two specialists. They may include both members of the editorial board and external experts.

3. The review is carried out anonymously: the names of the authors and reviewers are not disclosed to each other. The review process, according to experience, takes an average of 5 days.

4. The review should contain:
• evaluation of the essence of the work and the possibility of its publication in the journal;
• specific enumeration of errors in methodology and tools (if any);
• suggestions for the revision of the text.

5. Based on the results of the review, the article can be accepted for publication (5.1), sent to the author for revision (5.2) or rejected (5.3). Copies of the reviews are sent to the authors.

5.2. After revision, the article is re-sent to reviewers assessing how adequately their comments were taken into account and/or how well the author's refusal of certain corrections is reasoned.
5.3. Upon receipt of a negative opinion of the reviewers, the article is considered at a meeting of the editorial board working group, which decides on the rejection of the article or on the need to receive an additional review by an independent expert. In case of rejection of the article, a notification letter is sent to the author.
