All materials received by the editors must be checked in the Antiplagiat system (www.antiplagiat.ru). The minimum threshold for originality of a text accepted for review is 70%. In case of non-compliance, a verification protocol is sent to the author to bring the text into compliance with this requirement.

The reviewer cannot be the author or co-author of the manuscript being reviewed. The maximum review period is 1 month.

The article revised by the author is re-submitted for review.

An article sent to the author for correction or reduction by email must be returned to the editors along with a letter from the author (indicating how the comments were taken into account) no later than one week after sending.
