Procedure for reviewing manuscripts submitted for publication in the scientific and practical journal "The Bulletin of Contemporary Clinical Medicine"

The Journal “The Bulletin of Contemporary Clinical Medicine” uses a double-blind review process in which both the author and reviewer are unrelated to each other. Both the author and the reviewer are unable to identify each other. The order in which manuscripts are sent for review is determined by the Editorial Board. The review process is free of charge.

1. When a manuscript is received, the Scientific Secretary checks the author's adherence to the rules for publication and observance of publication ethics. Materials not rejected at this stage are selected for the review by members of the editorial board and external reviewers depending about the article. Materials are blinded by the scientific secretary. Based on the reviews and comments received from the members of the editorial board, the editor-in-chief makes a decision about the possibility of publication. The author is notified of acceptance of the article for publication by e-mail.

2. Only reviews by a doctor of science who is a specialist in the field of science to which the article is devoted and who is not the supervisor or advisor of the dissertation research of the author of the article are accepted. The signature of the Doctor of Sciences must be certified by the stamp of the organization in which the reviewer serves. The article may be accompanied by reviews from several Doctors of Sciences.

3. All articles are evaluated by reviewers according to the following parameters:
- originality of the article,
- the significance of the article,
- quality of the article,
- the way the material is presented,
- adequacy of cited sources,
- the degree of compliance with the journal's rubrics.
