Mission

Russian Journal of Education and Psychology is a regional academic peer-reviewed journal that presents scientifically substantiated solutions to pedagogical and psychological problems, as well as tasks related to teaching and upbringing at all levels of the professional and general education system. The journal also serves as a platform for scientific discussions on educational and psychological issues in Russia.

The mission of the journal is to become a significant, sustainable platform for scientific and public discussion, focusing on professional growth areas and regional or sectoral issues in Russian professional education and its psychological aspects. The journal aims to achieve this by providing open access to high-quality, peer-reviewed materials from experienced researchers, research groups, and organizations, while also supporting early-career authors and encouraging diversity of opinion and global research perspectives.

Mission Statement (PDF, 172 Kb)

The journal's goal is to create an open platform for the objective presentation and discussion of research results on the state and development of education and educational psychology in Russia.

We believe that this will contribute to:
1) disseminating knowledge in the field of educational sciences within the context of the realities and prospects of Russian education and psychology;
2) supporting academic communication between theorists and practitioners, experienced authors, and early-career researchers;
3) fostering dialogue between methodological and theoretical perspectives;
4) encouraging thematic and regional collaboration among authors and readers;
5) promoting public and open dialogue on scientific topics and regional aspects relevant to our authors and readers.

All these measures aim to expand the current dynamic research agenda in Russian education and educational psychology.

The target audience of the journal is not only scientists and teachers, but also universities, associations of scientists and other people and organizations associated with scientific institutions. We strive to make the articles of our authors interesting and accessible to the widest range of the public interested in discussing the issues of development of the Russian school, pedagogy and psychology of education.

Authors and readers of the journal

We prioritize active authors who are known in scientific publications on the subject of the journal. At the same time, we have decided to give at least 10% of the publishing portfolio to young scientists and degree candidates, for whom the path in science is just opening, so they may lose to experienced authors in getting the opportunity to publicly present the results of their scientific research. In many respects, the regional agenda of the journal does not limit the geography of the authors of articles, especially on the basis of citizenship. Of course, most of our authors are Russian scientists - pedagogues and psychologists, but we welcome articles by authors from neighboring countries, post-Soviet countries, and more broadly - we welcome authors from far abroad. This broad geographical representation and the absence of religious, gender and all other discriminations of scientific topics, in our opinion, will increase the range of problems considered, assessments, which will contribute to a more lively discussion. While welcoming geographical diversity, the journal also advocates for the permanence of its authors - both individual scientists and their collaborations, scientific communities and organizations. We believe that this allows them to focus on topics that are specific and important to their region or research interests, deepening the scholarly discussion and, more generally, the development of those topics.

The target readership of the journal is:
1) individual representatives of the academic community - researchers and analysts in the field of education, personality psychology of learners and teachers, psychology of education;
2) collective representatives of the academic community - scientific collaborations, scientific public associations of scientists, thematic and regional groups of scientists and university professors interested in the achievements in the specified field;
3) Practitioners - professional psychologists in the field of education, teachers - teachers of professional educational organizations and teachers of general educational organizations, administrators of educational organizations;
4) postgraduate students and applicants for academic degrees, students who can familiarize themselves with relevant materials for training and beginning of independent research;
5) other participants of educational relations and relations in the field of education - parents of underage students, representatives of expert communities and business, public organizations, government and management bodies interested in the development of Russian education.

Title History

2019 to the present - Russian Journal of Education and Psychology
Mass media registration certificate PI № FS 77-74551, issued December 07, 2018.
ISSN 2658-4034 (Print), ISSN 2782-3563 (Online)

2009-2018 - Современные исследования социальных проблем (электронный научный журнал) = Modern Research of Social Problems (online journal)
Mass media registration certificate EL № FS 77-39175, issued March 17, 2010.

Until 2019, Modern Research of Social Problems (Современные исследования социальных проблем) was published in two formats – print and online – as two independent journals, but under one title. Each form of publication had its own registration as a media, as well as its own editorial policy, editorial board, audience, section policies, frequency, etc. The printed journal specialized in history, philosophy and linguistics, while the electronic one – in teaching science and psychology.

In order to eliminate contradictions in the publication of these journals, as well as to increase the authority of the journals and promote the results of research of scientists and partners in international scientometric databases, the online form of Modern Research of Social Problems (Современные исследования социальных проблем) was renamed to Russian Journal of Education and Psychology in accordance with the founder’s decision dated 01 November 2018. Under the new name, the magazine has been published from Volume 10, No. 1, 2019.

Modern Research of Social Problems (Современные исследования социальных проблем) continues to specialize in history, philosophy and linguistics.

Peer Review Procedure

All scientific papers submitted to the editorial office of the Russian Journal of Education and Psychology are reviewed by applying aggressive peer reviewing, that is the double-blind peer review method (the identities of the author(s) and reviewers are kept unknown). 

1. Submitted articles are reviewed by members of the editorial board as well as leading experts in the correspondent sphere of knowledge both from Russia and abroad as external reviewers. It is the editor-in-chief who makes the decision concerning selection of a reviewer for a particular article. The review period is 2-4 weeks, but it can be extended at the request of the reviewer. 

2. The reviewer is entitled to refuse from performing the peer review in case there is a conflict of interests of any kind that may affect evaluation of the manuscript. Upon the evaluation, the reviewer is expected to present the editorial board with one of the following recommendations (any reviewer’s opinion is to be substantiated): 

• to accept the submitted manuscript as it is;
• to invite the author to revise their manuscript to address specific concerns before final decision is made;
• to suggest final decision be made following further reviewing by another specialist;
• to reject the manuscript outright.

3. In case the reviewer has recommended any refinements, then the editorial board is to send the author a request either to implement the corrections or dispute them reasonably. Authors are kindly required to limit their revision to 2 months and resubmit the adapted manuscript within this period for final evaluation. 

4. We politely request that the editorial board be notified verbally or in writing should the author decide to refuse from publishing the manuscript. In case the author fails to do so within 3 months since receiving a copy of the initial review, then the editorial board is to take the manuscript off the register and notifies the author accordingly. 

5. Should the author(s) and reviewers meet insoluble contradictions regarding the manuscript, then the editorial board is entitled to forward the manuscript for further reviewing. In case there is a conflict, then the editor-in-chief is to resolve the conflict at the panel session of the editorial board. 

6. The editorial board reaches final decision to reject a manuscript at the panel session according to reviewers’ recommendations and duly notifies the author(s) of their decision via e-mail. The editorial board does not accept a previously rejected manuscript for re-evaluation. 

7. Upon the decision to accept the manuscript for publishing, the editorial board notifies the author(s) of the scheduled date of publication. 

8. Original reviews of submitted manuscripts remain deposited for at least 5 years.

9. Copies of reviews or substantiated rejections are submitted to authors of the manuscripts by the editorial board. Copies of reviews are also to be submitted to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation upon receiving a corresponding request.

Publishing Ethics

The policy of the editorial board of the Russian Journal of Education and Psychology is based on current legal requirements regarding copyright. The editorial board fully supports the Code of Ethics for scientific publications formulated by the Committee on Publication Ethics, taking into account the Sarajevo Declaration on Integrity and Visibility of Scientific Publications and the Ethical Principles of Scientific Publications declaration of the Association of Science Editors and Publishers, as well as the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association, and seeks to ensure compliance with ethical standards and data collection rules for psychological and medical research conducted with the participation of people.

The editors of the journal make every effort to comply with the ethical standards adopted by the international scientific community to prevent any violation of these standards, both in their own work and in relationships with all participants in the editorial and publishing process, i.e., authors, reviewers, editors, members of the editorial board, founders, publishers, distributors and readers.

Compliance with the ethical standards for scientific publications helps to ensure the authors’ rights to their intellectual property, improve the quality of the publications and exclude the possibility of misuse of copyrighted materials in the interests of individuals.

The publisher and the founder are responsible for the publication of copyrighted works and contribute to the fulfillment of ethical obligations by the editors, editorial board, reviewers and authors.

They provide material and technical support as well as equipment for publishing activities, organize the provision of services in advertising, legal assistance, etc. They bear the costs and expenses of publishing and distributing the journal as well as help the editors to interact with other organizations in order to ensure the functioning and development of the journal.

The publisher ensures the timely release of the issues of the journal, is responsible for publishing corrections, clarifications and retractions of articles in which violations of scientific ethics or critical errors have been identified.

The editorial board of the journal is guided in its activities by the principles of scientific character, objectivity, professionalism, impartiality.

It is the editorial board that makes a decision on publication, taking into account the opinion of the reviewers. The decision is based on the scientific significance of the work in question, its originality (provided it is not a review or a translated article), compliance with the profile (topic) of the publication, the reliability and relevance of the work in question.

The editorial board undertakes to comply with the policy of disclosing conflicts of interest on the part of all participants in the publication process.

The editorial board and editors ensure the confidentiality of copyright materials, accept academic articles solely on the basis of their scientific value, reliability and novelty, regardless of the author's personality (their citizenship, race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, religious and political beliefs), as well as agree with the authors on the final version of the article. They inform the publisher on retractions, mistakes, typographical errors so that the latter could publish that both in the journal and online.

They ensure a fair and efficient independent review process, take measures to retract articles in case of claims of an ethical nature, correct typographical errors and finally submit articles to the publisher.

The editorial board and editors comply with the policy of disclosing conflicts of interest on the part of all participants in the publication process.

Authors (or a team of authors), when submitting materials to the journal, must be aware that they are responsible for the novelty and reliability of the results of their scientific research. Therefore, borrowed fragments or statements must be formalized with the obligatory indication of the author and source. Excessive borrowing, as well as self-plagiarism and plagiarism in any form, including loose quotations, paraphrasing or appropriation of rights to the results of other people's research, is unethical and unacceptable.

Among the co-authors, it is unacceptable to indicate persons who did not participate in the preparation of the publication. All changes and suggestions from the editorial board must be agreed between all the co-authors with no exception.

Authors must submit and prepare the original manuscript in accordance with the rules adopted in the journal, as well as respect the work of the editorial board and reviewers and eliminate the shortcomings noted in the reviews.

Authors are obliged not to allow simultaneous submission of materials to different journals. They are required to declare a potential conflict of interest, which, in their opinion, may have a direct or indirect impact on the publication process.

In the case of psychological and medical studies, if they were conducted with the participation of patients, the authors must obtain the patients’ written consent to participate in the study. Before starting a study, the authors are required to familiarize themselves with the provisions on informed consent of the Declaration of Helsinki and conduct the study in strict accordance with the principles (Provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki, sections 25-32). Even upon obtaining the written consent, it is required to hide any personal information by anonymizing it and to refrain from publishing such information.

The manuscript received for review must be treated as a confidential document that cannot be transferred for review or discussion to third parties who do not have permission from the editors.

The reviewer is obliged to give an objective and reasoned assessment of the stated results of the study and clearly justified recommendations, to report to the editorial board about the violation of the ethical standards of scientific work in the reviewed material that they have noticed. The reviewer is entitled to refuse conducting a review if there is a clear conflict of interest that affects the perception and interpretation of the manuscript materials. Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable. The reviewer must be aware that the manuscripts sent to them are the intellectual property of the authors and are classified as confidential information. Violation of confidentiality is possible solely if the reviewer claims that the materials contained in the article are unreliable or falsified.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

A conflict of interest arises when the author, reviewer, editor or member of the Editorial Board have financial, scientific or personal relations which may influence their actions. Such a relationship is referred to as dual commitments, competing interests or competing allegiance.

If there is a conflict of interest before the article publication, whether it has been attested by an author, a reviewer, Editorial Board members, editors, or the Managing Editor or the staff of the journal, or if there has been an information leak, then a conflict of interests statement should be published in the article; in addition, the editor may request and publish related documents so that the reader has complete information and can judge for himself the possibility and nature of the impact of the conflict of interest on the published results.

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in a reviewer’s own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.

Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

Editors who make final decisions on manuscripts should not make editorial and publication decisions if they have a conflict of interest related to manuscripts under consideration. Editorial Board should not use information obtained when working with manuscripts for private gain.

Plagiarism detection

The editorial board of the journal, when considering an article, checks the material using Antiplagiat (License agreement No. 4551 dated December 06, 2021), Advego Plagiatus, Etxt Антиплагиат and other programs. If plagiarism is identified, the COPE guidelines on plagiarism will be followed.

An author should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the author has used the work and/or words of others, then this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. In general, an author should not submit for consideration in another journal a previously published paper.

In the event of simultaneous submission of a manuscript to different journals, the published article will be retracted (withdrawn from print).

Retraction. Corrections

In case of revealing violations of publication ethics, the editorial office is open for dialogue and joint work with readers, authors and the scientific community.

Journal editors should consider retracting a publication if:

• they have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g. data fabri-cation) or honest error (e.g. miscalculation or experimental error).
• the findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper crossreferencing, permission orjustification (i.e. cases of redundant publication).
• it constitutes plagiarism.
• it reports unethical research.

Generative AI Policy

RJEP Policy for Use of Artificial Intelligence in Publishing and Reviewing

The Editorial Board of the Russian Journal of Education and Psychology recognizes the growing availability and use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools in academic research and establishes the following policies regarding how authors, reviewers, and editorial board members should work with GenAI.

1. Generative Artificial Intelligence (ChatGPT, etc.) cannot be listed as an author in publications. Artificial intelligence-based programs and tools do not meet the requirements of authorship because they are not (and cannot be) responsible for the work submitted, cannot declare the presence and absence of conflicts of interest, and cannot manage copyright.

2. The use of artificial intelligence-based programs is not prohibited by the Editorial Board when preparing the abstract and searching for additional sources of literature. Image generation and editing is prohibited. Authors should be aware that chatbots often transmit false information, which requires additional verification of information. In order to protect privacy, while interacting with generative artificial intelligence, authors are advised not to upload sensitive personal information about real people.

3. Authors should acknowledge the contributions made by generative artificial intelligence tools to any aspects of the published research. In the “Description of Generative Model Application” section, authors should include the title, version, and scope of the artificial intelligence-based program intervention, query criteria, and describe the specific tasks for which artificial intelligence was used (study design, data analysis, data visualization, text editing, literature search, etc.).

4. Articles that do not disclose the use of generative artificial intelligence tools and/or have large portions of text generated using artificial intelligence may be rejected. When manuscripts are checked by the editorial office, the appropriate module of the 'Antiplagiat' system is used to detect the text generated by artificial intelligence.

5. Editors, editorial board members, and reviewers are not permitted to use generative artificial intelligence when preparing article reviews, as the use of ChatGPT poses the risk of jeopardizing confidentiality and violating the authors' intellectual property rights to their work.

This policy will be updated as generative artificial intelligence tools evolve and impact the research publication process.
