Information for authors

All scientific articles submitted to the editorial office of the journal ‘Bulletin of “Turan” University’ undergo a mandatory ‘blind’ review (the reviewer does not know the authors of the manuscript, the authors of the manuscript do not know the reviewers). Manuscripts are sent to reviewers for evaluation.

Articles are reviewed by members of the editorial board and the editorial board, as well as by invited reviewers - leading experts in the relevant scientific field. The decision to choose one or another reviewer for the examination of the article is made by the editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief, scientific editor, executive editor. The review is prepared and sent to the editorial office within ten working days upon the receipt of the article.
Each reviewer has the right to refuse a review if there is a clear conflict of interest that affects the perception and interpretation of the manuscript materials. A reasoned refusal is sent to the editorial office within three working days from the date of receipt. Based on the results of the review of the manuscript, the reviewer makes recommendations about the future of the article (each decision of the reviewer is justified):

the article is recommended for publication in the present form;
the article is recommended for publication after correcting the shortcomings noted by the reviewer;
the article needs additional review by another specialist;
the article is recommended for publication in another journal;
the article cannot be published in the journal.

If the review contains recommendations for correction and revision of the article, the editorial board sends the author the text of the review with a proposal to take them into account when preparing a new version of the article or to refute them (partially or completely). The revision of the article should not take more than one week from the date of sending an e-mail to the authors about the need to make changes. The article modified by the author is re-sent for review.
If the authors refuse to revise the materials, they must notify the editorial board in writing or orally of their refusal to publish the article. If the authors do not return the revised version after two weeks from the date of sending the review, even if there is no information from the authors with a refusal to finalize the article, the editorial board takes the article out of the register. In such situations, the authors are notified of the withdrawal of the manuscript from registration due to the expiration of the deadline for revision.
If the author and reviewers have irresolvable contradictions regarding the manuscript, the editorial board has the right to send the manuscript for additional review. In conflict situations, the decision is made by the editor-in-chief at a meeting of the editorial board.
The decision to refuse publication of the manuscript is made at a meeting of the editorial board in accordance with the recommendations of the reviewers. The article that is not recommended for publication by the decision of the editorial board is not accepted for re-consideration. A notification about the refusal to publish is sent to the author by e-mail.
After the editorial board of the journal makes a decision on the admission of the article for publication, the editorial board informs the author about this and indicates the publication date.
The presence of a positive review is not a sufficient reason for publication of the article. The final decision on publication is made by the editorial board. In conflict situations, the decision is made by the editor-in-chief.
The original reviews are stored in the editorial office of the journal for 5 years.
