Reviewing

In order to ensure a high scientific level and quality of articles, published in the journal "Smart Economy, Entrepreneurship and Security", all materials received by the editor are subject to mandatory review.

The journal adheres to the international standards of ethics of publications in accordance with the international ethical rules of COPE (Committee on Publication ethics).

Articles submitted to the journal are reviewed confidentially according to the double-blind principle (Two-way “blind” reviewing eliminates bias by not disclosing names of neither editor nor author to both parties). The contact of the author and reviewers takes place exclusively by correspondence via e-mail with the executive managing editor.

Submitted articles are checked for compliance with the structure and design requirements, and are further sent to inside editors assigned by an Executive Editor or external editors invited.

According to the results of familiarization with the manuscript of the article, the reviewers send to the editor of one of the recommendations:

1. Recommend an article.

2. Recommend the article for publication after revision of editor’s comments by the author.

3. Recommend an article for publication after a major revision (in this case the updated article is required to be submitted for a repeated review procedure described above).

4. Recommend to refuse publishing the article, indicating the reasons for the decision made.

The journal’s editorial office sends to the author via email reviewers’ recommendations. The author, having the received recommendations, takes them into account and modifies or rewrites the article, or sends a reasonable refusal to accept the recommendations (comments) of the reviewers.

After receiving a corrected article based on the comments, or accepting the author's reasoning, the Editorial Board makes the final decision on the publication of the article.
