Peer-Review

An unilateral (bilateral) anonymous ("blind") peer review method is mandatory for processing of all scientific manuscripts submitted to the Editorial Board of "Russian language at school". This implies that neither the reviewer is aware of the authorship of the manuscript, nor the author maintains any contact with the reviewer.

  1. Members of the Editorial Council, Editorial Board and leading Russian and international experts in areas of linguistics and methods of teaching the Russian language, invited as independent readers, perform peer reviews. Editor-in-chief, Deputy Editor-in-Chief or Science Editor choose readers for peer review. We aim to limit the review process to 2-4 weeks, though in some cases the schedule may be adjusted at the reviewer’s request.
  2. Each manuscript has two reviewers.
  3. Reviewer has an option to abnegate the assessment should any conflict of interests arise that may affect perception or interpretation of the manuscript. Upon the scrutiny, the reviewer is expected to present the Editorial Board with one of the following recommendations:
  • to accept the paper in its present state;
  • to invited the author to revise their manuscript to address specific concerns before final decision is reached;
  • to reject the manuscript outright.
  1. If the reviewer has recommended any refinements, the Editorial Board would suggest the author either to implement the corrections, or to dispute them reasonably. Authors are kindly required to limit their revision to 2 months and resubmit the adapted manuscript within this period for final evaluation.
  2. We politely request that the Editor-in-Chief to be notified verbally or in writing should the author decide to refuse from publishing the manuscript. In case the author fails to do so within 3 months since receiving a copy of the initial review, the Editorial Board takes the manuscript off the register and notifies the author accordingly.
  3. In cases where significant problems remain unresolved following the third round of revisions, the manuscript is rejected and removed from consideration. In this case, the authors are notified about the removal of their manuscript from consideration.
  4. If the author and the reviewers or the author and the editor have unsolvable 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.
  5. The decision to refuse to publish the manuscript is made in accordance with the recommendations of the reviewers. A message about the refusal to publish is sent to the author by e-mail. The letter contains reviews and grounds for refusing publication.
  6. Upon the decision to accept the manuscript for publishing, the Editorial Board notifies the authors of the scheduled date of publication.
  7. Kindly note that positive review does not guarantee the acceptance, as final decision in all cases lies with the Editor-in-Chief. By his authority, Editor-in-Chief rules final solution of every conflict.
  8. The authors have the right to challenge the decision of the Editorial Board concerning the removal of the manuscript from the publication process. This can be done by submitting a formal appeal to the Editor-in-Chief. The appeal should detail the reasons for the authors' disagreement with the decision taken by the Editorial Board (based on the conclusions of the reviewers), provide reasons in favour of revising the decision, and submit a revised manuscript (if applicable). Controversial situations are handled exclusively by the Editor-in-Chief. The decisions made by the Editor-in-Chief are not subject to dispute.
  9. Original reviews of submitted manuscripts remain deposited for 5 years.
  10. The texts of reviews, as well as the correspondence between the authors and the editors, are not published in open access. Reviews are used only for internal purposes and communication with the authors. Copies of reviews can be submitted to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation upon request. Reviews are stored in the closed access on the website of the Scientific Electronic Library and are taken into account in the reviewer's profile.

4.3. Originality and Plagiarism

4.3.1. The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

4.3.2. Plagiarism takes many forms, from ‘passing off’ another’s paper as the author’s own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable.

4.3.3. The Editors consider plagiarism to take the following forms:

  • use (verbatim quoting) of any materials in any volume without indicating the original source;
  • use of images, drawings, photographs, tables, graphs, diagrams and any other forms of graphical presentation of information without indicating the original source;

4.6. Authorship of the Paper

4.6.1. Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study.

4.9. Fundamental errors in published works 

4.9.1. In cases where the Editor or the Publisher has received information from a third party that the publication contains significant errors, the author should either withdraw the manuscript from publication to correct errors in a timely manner, or refute the statement of errors by submitting the necessary evidence.

4.9.2. Post-publication correction to the Journal’s articles (starting from 2021)

In cases where inaccuracies or factual errors have been identified after the publication of an article, and if these inaccuracies or factual errors do not require the retraction of the article, the Editorial Board carries out the procedure of post-publication correction.

The aim of post-publication corrections is to convey accurate information to the reader, eliminate erroneous data or correct inappropriate citations.

The procedure of post-publication correction is carried out in case of multiple typos, incorrect citations, incorrect wording, incorrectly cited facts, etc., as well as when there is a need to correct the information about the authors.

The procedure of post-publication correction can be initiated by the author(s), readers or the Journal's editors.

 

Order of Post-publication Corrections

4.9.2.1. In cases where the Editorial Board receives information about errors in a published article either from the authors, or from third parties, the Editor-in-Chief initiates a procedure of additional check. Insignificant errors are corrected through post-publication corrections, while significant errors may lead to retraction.

4.9.2.2. Post-publication corrections are introduced by publishing an erratum note, which indicates the issue/year and pages containing errors, describes the errors and presents the text with the corrected errors. The erratum note also indicates on whose initiative the procedure of post-publication correction has been started. In the online version of the Journal, the erratum notice is posted on the website page and/or the article's PDF file. The revised version of the article is uploaded on the Journal’s website.

4.9.2.3. Information about the corrections made is forwarded to the RSCI.

4.9.3. Retraction Policy

In some cases, the Editor-in-Chief may decide to withdraw a published article. This procedure is referred to as retraction. 

The article will be withdrawn if, at any stage of the publication process, a violation of publication ethics has been revealed by the editors or third parties. Withdrawal of an article due to a violation of publication ethics will also entail a ban on the publication of articles in this journal for all members of the author team involved in the incident in the future.

A retraction mechanism in compliance with the COPE protocol shall be applied when the Editorial board of the Russian Language at School journal:

  • receives evidence of the fraudulence of the published information as a result of either the authors’ conscious actions or bona fide errors (e.g., non-intentional errors in calculations);
  • receives evidence of multiple publications or multiple submissions;
  • reveals the fact of a deliberate or non-intentional concealment of a conflict of interest, which could have affected the interpretation of the data or recommendations on the use of the obtained results.

Retraction is aimed at correcting errors in publications and informing the readership about those papers comprising erroneous data. 

Retraction does not imply deletion of the publication from the Journal’s website or other bibliographic databases. A retraction note is published alongside the original publication. The original article is retained unchanged (with its DOI), except for a watermark on the .pdf indicating “retraction”. This is considered important, since the paper may have already been cited by third parties. Information about retracted papers is presented on the Journal's website.

 

  1. Duties of the Publisher (and if relevant, Society)
