After checking for plagiarism, the editorial board sends the article to two reviewers who are recognized experts on the subject of peer-reviewed materials and have had publications on the subject of the reviewed article for the last 3 years.

The reviewer evaluates the compliance of the article with the scientific subject of the journal, its relevance, novelty, theoretical and (or) practical significance, the presence of conclusions, compliance with the established rules of registration for the purpose of their expert evaluation.
