Peer Review Process

Peer review is an assessment of a scientific article submitted for publication to the editorial board of the journal. It is an independent evaluation performed by experts of the same research area to which the author of the reviewed article belongs.

Peer review is mandatory as the main document of the evaluation process conducted by the editorial board to determine the quality and compliance of the article with the research area and thematic field of the journal.

All submitted articles that correspond to the subject area and format of the journal are subject to peer review before publication.

Leading experts recognized in the research area of the article are involved in the peer review process. The experts are required to have scientific works in the research area of the article published over the past three years.

Author or co-author of the article cannot participate in the process of its peer review.

All articles submitted to the journal are subject to a single blind peer review. The author is not given the name of the expert. Correspondence between the author and the reviewer is carried out online via the electronic system of the journal: https://journals.rcsi.science/2311-2468/user

The submission of the article for peer review is accompanied by a letter signed by the executive secretary of the editorial board, which fixes the deadline for submitting the peer review (usually two weeks), and meeting the deadline is monitored. In some cases, a memo on the rules for writing a peer review is provided to the reviewer.

Having evaluated the article, the reviewer makes a decision on its publication: a) to recommend the article for publication with/without improvements; b) to send the article for a second peer review; c) to reject the article. The peer review is submitted to the editorial board and its conclusions are recorded electronically.

The editorial board provide the results of peer review to the author of the article.

The article finalized in accordance with the reviewer's comments can be sent once again to the same reviewer or another reviewer at the discretion of the editorial board.

Peer reviews are kept in the office of the journal for five years. On request, peer reviews can be sent to the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

 

Publication Frequency

The journal releases 4 issues per year  (1 issues per 3 months). Articles are included in next issue as soon as they are ready for publication and in the order they are received by the editorial board.

Policy on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Publishing

Automatic content generation algorithms (generative AI) are considered by us as a tool to enrich the scientific process. It is important to note that generative AI does not replace critical thinking and independent research, but only complements them. Therefore, we recommend using this tool responsibly and creatively, understanding its capabilities and limitations.
 
FOR AUTHORS:
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools cannot be considered the authors of papers, because they are not able to take responsibility for the results provided. They cannot confirm the presence or absence of conflicts of interest and manage author license agreements.
2. Each author should be aware that the use of artificial intelligence may involve the risks associated with the confidential information leakage, both personal and corporate ones.
3. Authors are fully responsible for their manuscript content, including the manuscript parts created using generative AI. The author responsibility is to ensure that the content reflects the author's data and ideas and is not plagiarized, fabricated, or falsified.
4. If authors used generative AI to write the manuscript, collect or analyze data, they should inform about this fact in the section “Materials and Methods” and name the specific tool they used.
5. In some cases, the use of generative AI does not require mandatory reporting:
– using AI for specific tasks: formulation of the title, identification of keywords and preliminary planning of research methods;
– preliminary literature review, classification of ideas and preparation of summaries of relevant sources;
– checking grammatical and stylistic errors in the draft manuscript;
– designing the bibliography list.
6. Authors are not allowed to use generative AI images. Exceptions are images and videos citied in an article reflecting AI, and which will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
 
FOR REVIEWERS:
Generative AI is not suitable for preparing reviews, as text snippets may violate the confidentiality of information provided by the author. Entering any part of the manuscript, abstract, or text of your review into a chatbot, language model, or similar tool is a violation.
We expect rapid developments in this area in the near future and plan to adjust our editorial policy if necessary.

 

Rules of the Article Retraction

The retraction procedure is a mechanism for the journal Ogarev-online to comply with the norms of publication ethics in accordance with the rules of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).
 
Grounds for the article retraction:
  • plagiarism detection in the article;
  • duplication of the article in several editions;
  • detection of falsification or fabrication in the article (e.g., manipulating research data);
  • detection of serious errors in the article (e.g., misinterpretation of results), which casts doubt on its scientific value;
  • incorrect composition of authors’ team (there is no one who is worthy of being an author; persons who do not meet the criteria for authorship are included);
  • conflict of interest is hidden (other violations of publishing ethics);
  • republication of the article without the author's consent.
The article retraction can be initiated:
  • by the author of the article;
  • by the Editorial Board of another journal;
  • by third persons (possibly participants of the conflict of interest) with evidence of scientific misconduct by the author of the article;
  • when the Journal Editorial Board detects the facts of violation of scientific ethics by the authors of the article.
Retraction of articles in the journal Ogarev-online is carried out as follows:
  1. After the appeal of the author (or other person who provided the facts of violation of scientific ethics in the article), the Journal Editorial Board appoints a commission to conduct an investigation, taking into account all available facts and opportunities to verify the ethics of the article publication.
  2. Having decided to retract the article, the Editors indicate in the minutes of the Editorial Board meeting the reason and date of retraction. The article and its metadata will remain on the journal's website as part of the corresponding issue, but the electronic version of the text will be labeled RETRACTED and the date of retraction; the same label will be placed on the article in the journal issue table of contents.
  3. To comply with accuracy, the Editorial Board does not remove articles from the electronic version of the journal and from the archive on the journal's website.
  4. The Council on Ethics of Scientific Publications (for entering information into the unified database of retracted articles) is provided with the minutes, which indicate the date of the meeting, the composition of the meeting, the results of the examination, the reasoned decision and the completed form.
  5. Information on retracted texts is transferred to scientific information bases and libraries. When the application for retraction is received, the information about the article and its full text remains where it was before, but is supplemented with the information about the retraction. Retracted articles and references from them are excluded from the databases and do not taken into account in the calculating indicators.
  6. In the case of serious moral damage to the parties to the conflict of interest, information about the fact of scientific ethics violation can be send to the author place of work.
  7. The Editorial Board reserves the right to decide independently on further cooperation with the authors of retracted articles (complete refusal to cooperate, refusal to cooperate for a certain period of time, appointment of additional examination of articles in case of repeated cooperation).

 

Publication Fee

The Editors of the Journal do not provide any paid or agency services. The Editors do not work with agents. Articles are accepted only from authors. The fee for publication from the authors of articles is not charged. Accelerated publication of articles is not available. The author’s attempt to offer a reward will result in refusal to publish.
