The process of articles reviewing

After your paper has successfully passed the initial check-up stage, it will have to undergo a double review. The reviewer reviews the manuscript without knowledge of the authors' names. Likewise, the author does not know the name of the reviewer. Correspondence between the author and the reviewer takes place via e-mail in the edition on the journal.
Reviewers will be appointed by the editorial board. The peer review can be conducted by the members of the Editorial Board or by acknowledged academic specialists in the sphere.
Reviewers follow the rules of publication ethics established by the editorial board.
Appointed reviewers can refuse to analyze the manuscript in case there is a conflict of interest or if they cannot provide an unbiased review for some reason.
Reviews (review sample) are written in free form; however, they clarify the following compulsory aspects:

Does the paper correspond with the profile of the journal? Is the topic relevant?
Does the paper possess any theoretical and practical significance?
Is the author’s approach novel?
Is the style scientific and clear?

We will normally send you anonymous reviews of your paper within 21-60 days.
The reviews contain one of the following recommendations:

publish the paper as it is;
publish the paper after it has been improved according to the recommendations of the reviewers if the author agrees to make such improvements;
publish the paper only after it has been improved according to the recommendations of the reviewers;
reject the manuscript with the right to resubmit it;
reject the manuscript with no future resubmission.

Your manuscript might have to undergo an extra review if considered necessary.
In case the editor e-mails you a list of suggested improvements, you can accept them or to give a substantiated refusal.
Please e-mail your improved variant back to the editor within 30 days; otherwise your manuscript will have to start from square one.
Your improved version has to be accompanied by a cover letter as a separate file (Name_answer) where you will have to respond to the criticism and explain all the improvements you have made in your paper (Name_paper_improved). Please highlight all the improvements in the text.
If the reviews are negative, you will be sent a substantiated rejection letter signed by the chief editor or the deputy editor.
In case of rejection, you may challenge our decision by sending a letter of appeal to the chief editor. In your letter, please, explain why your manuscript should be reconsidered. Enclose an improved version of your paper, if necessary. Please, mind that the decision made by the chief editor is final and cannot be challenged.
The chief editor considers the final edited version of every paper, reviews, and the author’s response and makes the final decision (approved / returned to the author for further revision / rejected). After that, the editor will inform you about the final decision of the chief editor within 10 days.
Should you need a copy of the reviews, do not hesitate to send us your request. Mind that the copy will be anonymous.
Copies of all reviews can be submitted to the Supreme Qualifying Committee upon request.
Original reviews are stored in the editorial office for 5 years.
In case the authors do not respond to the constructive feedback from the reviewers or the editor, the manuscript is likely to be rejected.
