Review rules

  • The submitted works are evaluated by the Editorial Board in terms of scientific, educational and presentation values. Works that do not meet the basic conditions of publication are rejected. Incomplete texts or texts prepared in a manner inconsistent with the rules set out below are sent back to Authors without a substantive assessment by reviewers.
  • Other articles are submitted for independent review of two reviewers from outside the scientific unit, in which the author(s) is/are affiliated. Authors and reviewers do not know their identity (double blind review). The review should contain an explicit application on the conditions of publication of the article: no amendments, after corrections or a request for rejection of the article. The review form is available on the magazine's website (review).
  • The names of reviewers of individual publications or issue numbers of the journal are not disclosed, but once a year, the Editors publish the list of cooperating reviewers.
  • The final decision about qualifying the work for publication is taken by the Editorial Board.
