Editorial procedure
The Editorial Board receives all manuscripts. However, one of the prerequisites of accepting the manuscript is that the author must have an academic degree of Doctor of Science.

After reviewing and accepting the manuscripts, Editor-in-Chief subjects them to the members of the Editorial Board for the assessment process, and in case of the specific content of the text, to external experts as well.

* the subject matter does not meet the required scientific level,
* the article with a similar topic has already been published by the same author,
* the subject matter does not meet the criteria of the Journal, especially if:
- the content is beyond the concept of scientific publishing orientation of the Journal (distinguished by the relevant databases), and
- does not meet international scientific and methodological standards that the Journal must comply with.
