Reviewer-evaluation (download)

The conclusion about the possibility of publishing the manuscript in the publication:
- the article is recommended for publication: "without comments", "with minor comments (without re-reviewing)", "with significant comments (there is a need for re-reviewing)";
- The article is not recommended for publication.

Reviews are verified in accordance with the established patterns in the institution where the reviewer works.

 

With respect to rejected articles, the editorial office sends a substantiated communication of rejection to the author. The text of the unfavourable review is sent to the author by e-mail.

 

 The main reasons for rejection of articles:

- inconsistency with the magazine's requirements for thematic orientation and design;
- the article has already been published in another publication (including electronic publications and the Internet);

- excessive locality of the article, which causes a limited reach of the interested audience;
- weak scientific-theoretical level and low practical value of the article.

An article which has not been recommended by a reviewer for publication shall not be accepted for re-examination.

 

The existence of a favourable review is not in itself sufficient to authorize the publication of the article. The final decision regarding the suitability of printing the article is taken by the editorial board.

After the editorial board decides on the admission of an article to the publication, the responsible secretary informs the author about it and indicates the estimated publication time. The original reviews are stored in the editorial office of  "Psychological Perspectives"
