1. Manuscript Preparation

Before submitting an article, the author must make sure that the manuscript:

  • corresponds to the scope of the journal;

For consideration, the author must submit a PDF file of the manuscript formatted in accordance with the journal’s requirements. Before submission, the author must ensure that the file correctly displays all elements of the article, including formulas, tables, graphs, figures, and references with working links, where applicable.

3. Confirmation of Receipt

After receiving the submission, the editorial office reviews the submitted materials and, if necessary, contacts the author regarding the completeness or correctness of the submitted file.

All further correspondence concerning the manuscript is conducted through the author responsible for communication with the editorial office.

If the article does not comply with the journal’s requirements or its scope, it may be returned to the author for revision or rejected without being sent for further consideration.

5. Transfer for Further Consideration

Manuscripts that successfully pass the initial editorial check are transferred for further editorial consideration, including peer review, in accordance with the journal’s established procedures and Peer Review Policy.

6. Editorial Decision

Following the consideration process, the author is informed of one of the editorial decisions. The manuscript may be:

  • accepted for publication;
