Reviewing Procedure

The editors of the journal accept for publication materials containing the results of original scientific research, presented in the form of articles, scientific reviews, scientific reviews and reviews that correspond to the topics and specialization of the journal.

The author sends a manuscript of an article that meets the necessary formal and stylistic requirements, using one of the methods indicated on the publication’s website or in the current issue of the journal.

When a manuscript is received by the Editorial Board, the latter carries out an initial review within 10 days and checks for compliance with general formal and quality requirements, including compliance with the subject of the journal. The manuscript is checked for originality using the Anti-Plagiarism system. In case of reasonable doubts about the originality of the text, the editors have the right to contact the author to obtain the necessary clarifications. In case of non-compliance with these requirements, the article is not accepted for consideration, of which the Editorial office notifies the author.

A precondition for publishing an article in a journal is passing the peer review procedure. The editors of the journal review all incoming materials relevant to the topic for the purpose of their expert assessment, as well as the necessary scientific and stylistic editing.

Articles accepted for consideration are sent to reviewers. Reviewers may include both members of the journal's Editorial Board and external experts. All reviewers are recognized experts in the subject matter of the materials being reviewed.

The journal uses a double-blind review method, in which the reviewer does not know the author's last name, and the author does not have access to information about the reviewer.

A review (review, conclusion) of an article is submitted by the reviewer to the editor within 45 calendar days. Reviewers in their reviews express one of the following opinions:

- the article can be published without significant adjustments;
- the article is absolutely not ready for publication;
- publication is possible after some revision.

In this case, the reviewer is guided by the following criteria:

- the contribution of the theoretical constructions and generalizations contained in the manuscript to economic theory and history, as well as to private economic and related social disciplines;
- empirical contribution, that is, how important and new the primary material is, which is introduced into scientific circulation in the manuscript;
- relevance and completeness of the sources used;
- quality of the study: design, working hypotheses, methodology, analysis, interpretation;
- composition of the article and clarity of presentation;
- the degree to which the article reflects the current state of research in the stated field.

The decision to publish an article is made by the editors based on the expert opinions received within 10 days after receiving feedback from all reviewers. If there is a divergence of expert opinions, the editors have the right to send the article for additional examination, notifying the author about the timing of its examination. The editors have the right to make a decision on publishing an article that does not coincide with the opinion of one of the experts.

The editors make one of the following decisions on the publication of the article:

- accept the article for publication;
- reject the article;
- accept for publication taking into account corrections without re-review;
- send for re-review, taking into account the comments made in the reviewers' reviews.

In case of a positive decision on the possibility of publishing the article, the editors determine the timing of publication and notify the author.

In case of a negative decision, the editors notify the author of the impossibility of publishing the article in the journal.

Feedback from reviewers - both positive and negative - is sent to the author simultaneously with the editorial decision on the possibility of publishing the article.

An article sent to the author for revision without re-review must be returned in a corrected form within 30 days from the date of receipt of the editorial conclusion. An article sent to the author for revision with a requirement for re-review must be returned in a corrected form within 3 months from the date of receipt of the editorial conclusion. The revised manuscript must be accompanied by a letter from the authors containing responses to all comments and explaining all changes made in the article.

If materials from the author are not received within the specified time frame, the article is considered as rejected for publication and as a new article when the author subsequently contacts the editor.

The deadlines for reviewing and consideration by the editors of resubmitted articles coincide with the deadlines for newly received articles.

Reviews are kept by the editorial office for 5 years. The editors undertake to send copies of reviews to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation upon receipt of a corresponding request by the editors of the publication.
