Peer-review process

The procedure for reviewing manuscripts of articles in the scholarly journal "Scientia"

Reviewing (expert evaluation) of manuscripts of scientific articles is carried out to maintain a high scientific and theoretical level of the scholarly journal "Scientia" and to select the most valuable and relevant scientific papers.

The Scholarly journal "Scientia" uses a DOUBLE-BLIND anonymous review process:

the reviewer does not know the personal information of the author / authors;

the author / authors do not know the personal data of the reviewer.

The scientific articles submitted to the editorial office undergo initial control regarding the completeness and correctness of their registration and compliance with the Manuscript Requirements set out on the site.

The primary expert review of a scientific article is carried out by the editor-in-chief.

The Editor-in-Chief determines the 2 reviewer from the relevant scientific direction, for the article to be published.

After an expert evaluation of a scientific article, the reviewer may:

recommend article for posting;

recommend the article for its publication after minor corrections;

recommend the article for its publication after author's revision, taking into account the comments and wishes expressed;

do not recommend article for posting.

If the reviewer recommends the article for posting it after revision, taking into account the comments, or does not recommend the article for publication, the review must state the reason for the decision

The editor recommends using the developed standard review form, which is available on the site's website, when reviewing.

When reviewing scientific articles reviewers must:

pay special attention to the urgency of the scientific problem raised in the article;

characterize the theoretical and applied value of the performed research;

correctness of the given mathematical calculations, graphs, drawings;

assess how the author's conclusions relate to existing scientific concepts;

adherence by the authors of the rules of scientific ethics, correctness of references to literary sources.

The necessary element of the review should be the reviewer's assessment of the author's personal contribution to solving the problem under consideration.
