Peer Review Process

All submitted articles undergo a double-blind review process (the reviewer does not know the author, and vice versa). Peer reviews are conducted by experts from relevant educational and scientific fields, both domestic and international.

The editorial board selects specific reviewers, with a review period of 2-4 weeks, extendable if requested by the reviewer. Each reviewer is entitled to decline the review if there is a clear conflict of interest. Review outcomes may be:

"Accept the article" – if it meets research significance and quality standards without remarks.

"The article requires revision" – the article is sent back to the authors for corrections as per the reviewer’s comments. The manuscript may be considered for publication without further review.

"Resubmit for review" – the article is returned to authors for additional modifications. Once revised, the editorial office may send it back to the same reviewer, and if substantial issues persist, the manuscript undergoes a third review. If minor issues remain on the third review, it may be accepted or rejected, subject to editorial discretion.

"Reject the article" – if the second review is positive, a third reviewer is consulted. If this review is also negative, the article is rejected based on the editorial decision.

After the reviews, the editorial board discusses and makes the final decision on acceptance or rejection. Before publication, accepted articles undergo pre-press preparation and technical editing to ensure compliance with formatting standards.
