Requirements for manuscripts

Articles that have not been previously published and that correspond to the thematic focus of the Journal and are formatted strictly according to the manuscript requirements described in the Guidelines for authors are accepted for publication. The manuscript of the article is submitted to the Editorial Board of the Journal by the correspondence author. Manuscripts of original and review articles of at least 11,000 and 20,000 characters without spaces and excluding the abstract and list of references, respectively, are accepted for publication in the Journal.  The manuscript must be uploaded via the Open Journal System online platform by the corresponding author, indicating all the metadata of the article and its authors. Communication between the Editors, the corresponding author and reviewers is carried out via the specified online platform. One article is accepted per issue from the first and/or corresponding author. Authors are responsible for the reliability, novelty, and evidence-based nature of the research results.

Plagiarism check

When reviewing a manuscript according to formal requirements, the Editorial Board checks for the presence of borrowed text in the manuscript using the Oysyn.asia verification system. Manuscripts are screened for similarity; decisions are based on qualitative assessment rather than a fixed threshold.
Mentions of the results of other authors must be accompanied by references to the relevant primary sources, which must be included in the list of references. Citation of text previously published elsewhere must be formatted as direct speech with mandatory indication of the original source. Inclusion of large fragments of borrowed text in the manuscript is unacceptable. If the fact of plagiarism or self-plagiarism is established, the article will be retracted, even if it has already been published (see the Procedure for Retraction of Articles).

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) Usage Policy

The increasing use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in scientific writing raises important considerations regarding authorship, transparency, and the integrity of scholarly communication.
Authors must disclose the use of generative AI tools in the preparation of their manuscripts. Such disclosure should be included in the Methods section (or in an appropriate section of the manuscript), clearly stating the purpose and extent of AI use. This information will be published as part of the article to ensure transparency and maintain trust in the scientific record.
The use of AI tools does not qualify for authorship. AI systems or software must not be listed as authors of a manuscript. The final responsibility for the content, accuracy, and integrity of the manuscript rests solely with the authors.
The Journal reserves the right to assess the appropriateness of AI use on a case-by-case basis during the editorial and peer review process.
To protect confidentiality and intellectual property, editors and reviewers must not upload any part of submitted manuscripts into generative AI tools.

Review Procedure

Reviewing is confidential (the Journal uses double-blind reviewing). Information about the reviewer is anonymous for the authors and is available only to the Editorial Board. If the manuscript complies with the Journal's subject matter and design requirements, the Editor-in-chief sends it for preliminary review to the Scientific Editor, who checks the content of the manuscript and appoints 2 (two) reviewers with the closest specialization to the topic of the manuscript. It is permissible to appoint as a reviewer a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal who has specialization in the subject area of ​​the manuscript under consideration. The review period is 15 days, but if necessary it can be extended in order to obtain an objective review. The author of the article under review is given the opportunity to read the review. If the review contains recommendations for improving the manuscript, the Editor sends it to the author with a proposal to take them into account when revising the manuscript or to reasonably (partially or completely) refute the reviewer's comments. The revised version of the manuscript, which takes into account the reviewer's comments, is sent to the same reviewer for additional review.
The final decision on manuscript acceptance or rejection rests with the Editor-in-Chief. Authors have the right to appeal editorial decisions by submitting a reasoned request to the Editorial Office. Appeals are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief or an independent Editorial Board member.
