Procedure of submitting, review and publication of scientific articles

1. Articles are accepted electronically (on electronic media or by e-mail). The volume of text including bibliography normally should not exceed 15 000 characters with spaces. The number of figures should be the minimum required to disclose the content of the published work and its results, and on average of no more than 2 drawings on one magazine page (5000 characters). Larger articles are published by prior agreement with the publisher. The article should be formatted as provided in the Appendix. Editorial informs the authors of the receipt of articles and taking them into consideration via e-mail.

2. All articles containing original scientific and technical information obtained by the author during scientific research and engineering design work are subject to review.

Reviewers are selected from among the recognized experts in the field of peer-reviewed materials who published articles preferably on the same subject within the last years. It’s not allowed a specialist working in the same company (for high schools - department or faculty) as the authors (or co-author) of the article to review this article. Data about reviewers are not reported to the authors.

3. If the reviewer gives a positive review of an article with a recommendation for its publication in the journal, the editorial board takes note of the review and does not transmit it to the authors. If there are comments on the content and design of the article in the review, they are transmitted to the author in the form of the text of the received review for revision of the article. After fixing the article in accordance with the comments and reviewer's consent to the revised version of the article, reviewer makes a recommendation for publication. In both cases, after the positive completion of the review process, the article is included in the portfolio and sent for preparation for publication.

4. If the reviewer's conclusion is negative and the authors are unable to correct the article according to his comments properly, the editorial board sends it for re-reviewing to another specialist. The decision on publication is made by the editorial board taking into account the results of repeated review. If it is impossible to publish, unless the authors themselves have withdrawn their article from publication based on the results of the review, the editorial board sends them a reasoned refusal. If the authors, while working on an article at any stage of it, on their own initiative consider it necessary to withdraw it from publication before receiving or regardless of the results of the review, they should immediately inform the editorial board about this.

5. The reviews are stored in the editorial of at least 5 years from the date of publication of the article or denying its publication. Editorial on request send copies of reviews in the Ministry of Education and Science.

6. If one of the authors is a member of the Editorial Board, the conclusion of its expertise and publishing capabilities can be taken by the Council, if it includes specialists working on a profile corresponding to the content of the reviewed material.

7. The editorial board notifies the authors of the article about the completion of the review process and its inclusion in the journal's portfolio. The publication is carried out in the order of priority of inclusion of articles in the editorial portfolio. If the authors are subscribers of the journal, they use the right of accelerated priority publication. At the request of the authors, the editorial board informs them about the approximate dates of the publication of their articles as the content of the next issues of the journal is determined. When new subscribers of the journal appear from among the authors, the order may be revised in their favor.

8. Advertising and technical materials are accepted in the form of customized publications, text presentation and news information of advertisers and ready-made modules, as well as source data for the design of the latter in the editorial office. The terms of placement of these materials and prices are determined by special rules.
