Review principles:

The article will definitely be sent for review. Confidentiality is a must when writing a review.

Each manuscript is treated as a confidential document. Any dissemination and publication of the received materials by the reviewer is not allowed.

The purpose of the review is to express the expert’s own opinion on the reliability, novelty and significance of the results obtained.

The object of the review is the result of the research. The expert opinion should be impartial: the discrepancy between the scientific positions of the author and the reviewer is the basis for scientific discussion, but in itself cannot serve as a sufficient reason for refusing publication of the article.

An article rejected a second time by the reviewer(s) is withdrawn from consideration by the editorial board (it is not allowed to print).

The article is considered accepted for publication if there is a positive review and if it is supported by the members of the editorial board. The order and order of publication of the article is determined depending on the date of receipt of its final version.

Violations and liability:

If a violation of the norms of publication ethics by the author is revealed at the stage of reviewing the article, this may serve as a sufficient reason for refusing publication.

Violation of the norms of publication ethics by a reviewer or an editor may serve as a reason for termination of cooperation by the journal.

Violations identified after the publication of the article are subject to detailed review by interested parties in accordance with the practices recommended by the editorial board. Minor violations can be corrected by publishing official explanations. Significant violations entail the removal of the article from publication with notification of this on the pages and on the journal’s website.

The fact of violation of the norms of publication ethics can be established only with the participation of all parties to the conflict that arose as a result of such violation. Until such a fact is established, any case should be described as a suspicion of a violation. All such suspicions are necessarily considered by the editorial board of the journal.
