Peer Review Process
All the articles are peer-reviewed
The peer-review process focuses on the most objective assessment of the scientific article’s content and on its compliance with the journal's requirements. Also, reviewing provides a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of article materials. Only those articles that are valuable from a scientific point of view and contribute to solving actual educational problems are accepted for publication.
The purpose of the review procedure is to eliminate cases of substandard research practice and to ensure coordination and adherence to the balance of interests among authors, readers, the editorial board, reviewers, and the institution that conducted the research. Reviewers evaluate the theoretical and methodological quality of the article, its practical value, and its scientific importance. In addition, the reviewers determine the article's compliance with the principles of ethics in scientific publications and recommendations for eliminating violations.
STAGES FOR REVIEWING
- The submitted articles to the editorial board should meet the requirements of the journal policy.
- Checking the article for the degree of uniqueness, copyright text. For all articles which are provided for reviewing, the degree of uniqueness copyright text is determined using an appropriate software program.
Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, do not meet our authorship requirements. The attribution of authorship carries a responsibility for the paper that cannot be adequately applied to LLMs. The use of an LLM in research should be appropriately documented in the Methods section of the manuscript, or in a suitable alternative part if a Methods section is not available.
- All manuscripts submitted to the Editorial Board are directed to the profile of research to two independent experts.
- For reviewing the articles as reviewers may act as independent, highly qualified professionals who have profound professional knowledge, experience in a particular scientific direction and research on the speciality.
- Reviewer concludes publishing the article within 14 days (fills in a standardized form, which contains a summary of recommendations).
- Reviewing is held in confidence by the principles of double-blind reviewing (two-way 'blind' review, when neither the author nor the reviewer do not knows the other). The interaction between the author and reviewers occurs through the journal's editor.
- If the reviewer points to the need to make certain article corrections, the article is sent to the author with the offer to consider the comments in the preparation of an updated version of the article or to refute them reasonably. In a revised article, the author adds a letter that addresses all comments and explains all changes made to the article. The revised version is again given to the reviewer for a decision and a reasoned conclusion on the possibility of publication.
- Reviewers recommend the possibility of publishing an article:
- Publish without changes.
- Publish provided a further follow-up revision of the article by the author.
- Publish after a significant revision of the article by the author.
- Reject the article on the whole.
- The final decision on the possibility and expediency of the publication is adopted by the meeting of the editorial board.
Protection of Authors’ Rights

The peer-review process is conducted on a confidential basis, meaning that information about a manuscript (dates of receipt, content, stages and specifics of the review process, reviewers’ comments, and the final publication decision) is not disclosed to anyone other than the authors and reviewers. This requirement may be waived only in cases of violations of publication ethics by participants in the publication process.
