Reviewing the manuscripts

1. All materials submitted to the editorial office that correspond to the subject of the journal are subject to mandatory review before publication with the involvement of at least two experts - specialists on the subject of the reviewed materials. All reviewers must have publications within the last 3 years on the subject of the reviewed article. Reviews are kept in the editorial office for at least 5 years.
2. The article may be rejected without being sent for peer review due to inconsistency with the subject of the journal or the presence of significant deficiencies in the design or violations of publication ethics.
3. The decision to send an article for review is made by the editor-in-chief or a temporary substitute employee based on the results of assessing the correspondence of the article to the subject of the journal, design principles, publication ethics requirements and a preliminary technical assessment of the originality of the text.
4. The article is sent for review by at least two specialists in the subject area of the article under consideration. Both members of the editorial board of the journal and external experts can be involved in the review process.
5. A blind or double-blind method is used in reviewing. The main method is double-blind peer review (the author and the reviewer do not know each other). One-sided blind review (the author does not know the reviewer, but the reviewer sees information about the author) can be used in some cases when reviewing articles with a pronounced practical orientation.
6. The content of the review is the reviewer's personal opinion about the scientific novelty, the practical significance of the article, the sufficiency of the source base and the presence or absence of methodological and factual mistakes. The reviewer's conclusion may contain one of the recommendations "Recommended for publication", "Recommended with improvement", " Significant improvement and re-review are recommended", "Not recommended for publication".
7. The decision to publish an article is made by the editor-in-chief or a person temporarily replacing him on the basis of the reviews received.
8. The original versions of the reviews are kept by the Publishing House for at least 5 years and can be sent to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Donetsk People's Republic upon receipt of the corresponding request to the editorial office.
