The order of review

Reviewing process

Scientific articles submitted to the editorial office of the scientific journal “Bulletin of Abai KazNPU” of "Philological Science" series that meet the formal requirements, the design requirements and the indicator of originality based on verification through the system of checking for plagiarism, undergo bilateral anonymous ("blind") peer review. The reviewer is provided for reviewing the manuscript without specifying the names of the authors. The author does not know the name of the reviewer. Correspondence between the executive secretary and the reviewer takes place through the e-mail address in the electronic editorial office on the journal's website. Reviewing of articles is carried out by specialists in the relevant industry who have published publications on the subject of the article under review in the last 5 years. In the case of two negative reviews, the manuscript deviates from publication in the journal.

The presence of a positive review is not a sufficient reason for the publication of the article. The final decision on publication is taken by the Head-editor and members of the editorial board, whose expert profile corresponds to the subject of the manuscript. When the editorial board of the journal makes a decision to publish an article, the editorial board informs the author about it and indicates the approximate publication time.

While deciding on publication, the Head-editor is guided by the reliability of the data presentation and the scientific significance of the work in question. Evaluation of works is based solely on their content and the quality of scientific results, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, religion, citizenship or political views of the author. Information about the submitted manuscript is available only to the author, reviewers, potential reviewers and members of the editorial board. Unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts are not used for personal purposes and are not transferred to third parties without the written consent of the author. Information or ideas obtained during editing and associated with possible benefits are kept confidential. If the author and reviewers have insoluble 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 Head-editor at a meeting of the editorial board.

If the review contains recommendations for correcting and revising the article, the Assistant Editor of the journal sends the text of the review to the author with a proposal to take them into account to prepare a new version of the article.

An article which was sent to the author for revision should be returned in the corrected form within two weeks. The date of receipt of the revised article is considered by the date of receipt of the revised article. The editorial board of the journal has the right to reject the article if the author is unable or unwilling to take into account the wishes of the editorial board.

The Head-Editor and the publisher do not leave unanswered claims regarding the reviewed manuscripts or published materials, and if a conflict situation is identified they take all necessary measures to restore violated rights.

Each manuscript that comes to the website of the journal or to the editorial office is assessed by the Head-Editor of the journal and (or) his deputy, Assistant Editor and members of the editorial board, whose expert profile corresponds to the subject of the article. If the manuscript is in interest of the journal, it is sent for review. The editorial board does not involve reviewers who may have a conflict of interest. The review period is agreed upon with the reviewer, but cannot exceed one month. If the manuscript is of no such interest, a rejection verdict is issued.

- the article does not correspond to the profile of the journal;
- there is no research question in the article;
- the article is a short text with the author's opinion;
