Peer Review
All manuscripts submitted for publication in the journal must undergo the peer review process. Manuscripts are reviewed confidentially using the double-blind method, which means that during the whole peer review process reviewers do not know the identity of authors, and vice versa.
Learn MoreAttitude Towards Plagiarism
The journal’s editorial board thinks that the use of other scientists’ ideas and works without proper citation is illegal activity.
Copying any part of another person’s publication and the author’s own previously published works without proper citation is considered plagiarism. The editorial board reserves the absolute right to refuse to review the submitted manuscript if it contains small or significant borrowings from other publications without proper citation and can cancel the publication on complaint about revealed plagiarism.
Considering cases of possible violations, the journal’s editorial board follows recommendations developed by the (Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE)). The journal collects statistics on all cases of scientific dishonesty, particularly violation of ethical principles in scientific publications.

The peer review involves work with reviewers of the journal, who are renowned experts in the research topic of the paper. Therefore, besides members of the editorial board, the journal cooperates with numerous scientists from various countries of the world. The paper is accepted for publication only after it is discussed during the meeting of the editorial board in case of the positive peer review and support from majority of the editorial board members. Positive peer review does not guarantee publication of the paper.
We would like to draw authors’ attention to the fact that no publication fees are charged.
In addition, authors should understand that the editorial board cannot print all received papers immediately. The editorial council determines the list of papers and the order of their publication in the journal.
