­Procedure and terms of publication

The decision to publish the article

The decision to accept an article is made by the consent of three different specialists: the editor-in-chief or his deputy, the scientific editor of the section and a reviewer competent in the subject of the article.

• the scientific editor and reviewer cannot have articles jointly with the author of the article
• at least one of the three should not work in a scientific institution associated with the article
• the reviewer must have a high level of publications on related topics.

Any of the three has the right to reject an article with convincing justification for non-compliance with the journal's requirements.

Review deadlines

The editors try to reduce publication time as much as possible and  impeccably designed articles of interest to many are accepted for publication and sometimes even published within one to two weeks. However, finding a qualified reviewer for an article on a topic in which few specialists are competent can take more than a month. The review is usually written within a couple of weeks, but when the reviewer asks for a month and a half, and there is no other reviewer in mind, the editors agree.

Anonymity of reviewing

As a rule, information about the author is hidden from the reviewer by removing it from the text of the article. An exception is made for articles that obviously continue the author's previous work on a topic that has not been studied by other researchers.

The identity of the reviewer cannot be disclosed without his official consent.

The received review, after excluding the reviewer’s personal data, is sent to the 

author.

Revision based on reviewer comments

The author is obliged to take into account the reviewer’s comments when finalizing the article. Objections to comments must be carefully reasoned.

After the revision of the article required by the reviewer, the scientific editor, independently or with the participation of the reviewer, decides on the possibility of accepting the article for publication.

During the process, the scientific editor has the right to additionally send the article to another reviewer.

After rejection

A rejected article can be revised by the author and resubmitted.

After acceptance for publication

The time from acceptance of an article for publication to its publication on the website is not regulated; it is determined by the activity of the author in the process of finalizing the design and the workload of the editors.

Articles, perfectly formatted in LaTeX with amsbib, are published out of turn within one to two weeks.

Retraction of a published article

All copyrights remain with the authors, including the right to withdraw the published article. If a copyright violation is detected by the publication of a specific article, the editors will withdraw it. The retracted article remains freely available, but the fact of revocation is clearly and unambiguously noted on the website and the article is excluded from indexing in the RSCI and other databases.

Corrections in published articles, RSCI and CrossMark

If defects are discovered in published articles, they are immediately corrected free of charge on the website and in mathnet.ru. RSCI does not have the ability to correct typos or retract publication, so completed issues are submitted to RSCI in the second half of January, April, July and October.

RSCI readers can check the status of their version of an article at any time by clicking on the CrossMark flag.

出版周期

Individual articles are published on the website when ready for publication.

The next issue is formed at the end of each quarter.

Special situations are not initially provided.

开放式获取政策

Articles published on the site are freely available from the moment of publication.
