Review procedure

Academic papers are anonymously reviewed by members of the editorial board of the journal and invitees, including from other countries, who have deep professional knowledge and experience in a particular scientific field.

If the reviewer recommends correcting or refining the paper, the editor sends the anonymous review text to the author to make the relevant changes. The date of receipt of the paper to the journal is the day when the editorial office of the final version of the text of the paper is received.

Responsibilities of reviewers

Reviewers will express their point of view, reinforcing it with appropriate arguments. Reviewers should identify relevant published works that were not named by the authors. Any statement, observation, conclusion or argument that has already been made should be accompanied by relevant references. The reviewer should also draw the attention of the editors to any significant similarity between the manuscript reviewed and any other published work in this area.
