If the check is successful, then the manuscript is sent for two-way "blind" review (double-blind - the author and the reviewer do not know about each other, there is no conflict of interest between them, they have no joint work). This procedure is mandatory for all articles. The reviewer evaluates:

  • relevance of the topic and scientific novelty;
  • the presence of structural elements, including detailed conclusions and conclusions;
  • presentation style, the author's ability to operate with terminology.

All conclusions, remarks, advantages and disadvantages of the article are stated in the expert conclusion - reviews. When using the double-blind system, the comments and wishes of the reviewer are objective and principled, aimed exclusively at improving the scientific and methodological level of the manuscript. The originals of the reviews are kept in the editorial office for 5 years.

An article that fully complies with the editorial requirements and has scientific value is recommended for publication. This means that it will be included in the current issue of the journal.

A manuscript with fixable shortcomings is sent to the author for revision. At the same time, the author receives a list of comments that need to be corrected or indicate the reasons why these articles should be presented exactly in the form stated by the author. After correcting the shortcomings, the work is submitted for re-review to the same expert or another competent scientist.

Materials in which multiple fraudulent borrowings are noted, which have significant shortcomings and a low level of scientific value are rejected by the editorial board and are not reviewed again.
