Manuscripts must be prepared with attention to the basic standards of professional communication. Papers with numerous mistakes, in language, grammar, layout or notation, will be returned to the author without review (see the princyples of manuscript preparation). Any evidence of plagiarism or serial publication of similar manuscripts will result in the immediate termination of the review process.

Manuscript Length

Manuscripts should not exceed 70 000 characters for both langage versions and 35 000 characters just for English version. However, somewhat longer papers may be considered in justified cases – decision due to Editorial Board. Authors are encouraged to contact the editors to discuss it.

Review and Timelines

All manuscripts are screened by the editors; many are returned as unsuitable for review as they do not conform to the preferences discussed above or do not meet editoril requirements.
Papers that are considered for review are sent to qualified reviewers throughout the world; authors are encouraged to suggest expert reviewers for editorial consideration.

The deadline for annual submision is end of March each year.  The editors strive to provide an initial response [reject or revise] to all authors within six to eight weeks. Most successfully revised papers are available for download within 9 months of submission (end of each year).
