同⾏评审过程
The editorial board of the journal NAUCHNUI DIALOG follows COPE recommendations when working with manuscripts, reviewers, and organizing the review process.
Type of review
All manuscripts submitted to the editorial board of the journal NAUCHNUI DIALOG undergo mandatory double-blind peer review. This means that neither the author nor the reviewer knows each other's names and affiliations, and all correspondence is conducted through the editor of the journal NAUCHNUI DIALOG. Each manuscript is sent to one or, if necessary (e.g., detecting signs of advertising in the text, ideological engagement, interdisciplinary nature), two experts.
Review timeline
The review process in the journal NAUCHNUI DIALOG takes on average from 2 to 4 months. Within this period, the editorial board includes time for the initial consideration of the manuscript, selection of reviewers, time for preparing the review, time for the author to revise the article and re-review, and involvement of additional experts.
Review Process
The decision to select a reviewer for the journal NAUCHNUI DIALOG is made by the editor or responsible secretary of the issue.
Each article is sent to one expert or, in the case of interdisciplinary articles, two experts. If there is an opinion about ideological engagement or advertising nature of the manuscript, a second expert may also be involved to clarify the scientific value of the work.
The editor of the journal NAUCHNUI DIALOG can provide the author with one of the following decisions regarding the manuscript:
Accept for publication. In this case, the manuscript will be included in one of the regular issues of the journal and will be forwarded to the editor for further processing. The author will be notified of the publication date.
Accept for publication after addressing the reviewer's noted deficiencies. In this case, the author will be given one week to make changes to the manuscript as indicated by the reviewer. If the deficiencies are addressed or there is a justified refusal to make changes, the manuscript will be accepted for publication.
Accept for publication after addressing the reviewer's noted deficiencies and undergoing a re-review. In this case, the author will be given two months to make changes to the manuscript as indicated by the reviewer. The manuscript will be sent for re-review. Within 30 days, the author will receive a final decision on the fate of the manuscript.
Reject. In this case, the author will receive a motivated refusal to publish the manuscript. A refusal to publish does not prohibit authors from submitting manuscripts to NAUCHNUI DIALOG in the future. However, if publication is refused due to serious violations by the author, the chief editor may decide to include the author in a blacklist. In such cases, other articles by this author will not be considered.
The editorial board of NAUCHNUI DIALOG allows for three rounds of review. This means that after the first decision to revise the article, the author has two attempts to make changes based on the reviewer's recommendations or provide a justified refusal to make changes. If after the third round of review the expert sends further comments, the journal editor will suggest that the author consider the possibility of publishing in another journal or resubmit the article with the changes made in six months.
If the author does not plan to revise the article, they must inform the journal's editorial board. Work on the manuscript will be discontinued.
If the author has a conflict of interest with a potential reviewer of the manuscript, they must inform the journal's editor. The editorial board of NAUCHNUI DIALOG will select another reviewer if necessary.
During the review process, conflicts may arise between the author and the reviewer. In such cases, the editor of NAUCHNUI DIALOG has the right to assign a new reviewer for the manuscript and involve the chief editor in resolving disputes.
Articles by the chief editor, deputy editor, responsible secretary, and members of the editorial board can be published in NAUCHNUI DIALOG, but there should be no abuse of their official positions. Manuscripts by journal staff are sent for double-blind review only to external experts. External experts are involved in resolving conflicts and contradictory situations. In case of a conflict regarding the fate of a manuscript involving the chief editor, the final decision on the possibility of publication is made by members of the editorial board.
When publishing articles by members of the editorial board/council, chief editor, and deputy editor, information about their affiliation with the journal is indicated in the "Conflict of Interest" section.
The journal NAUCHNUI DIALOG does not exempt scientists from having their manuscripts reviewed regardless of their status.
Copies of reviews are kept in the editorial office of NAUCHNUI DIALOG for at least 5 years.
Reviewers
For the review of all submitted manuscripts, members of the editorial board and external experts with experience in the relevant subject area and publications on the topic of the reviewed manuscript in the last 5 years are involved.
If the author declares a potential conflict of interest, the individuals mentioned are excluded from the list of possible reviewers for their manuscript.
