A scientist with a sufficient level of professional competence in the reviewed field of science (topic, question, problem) can act as a reviewer. One of the reviewers can be a member of the editorial board (editorial board) of the journal.
The reviewer acts as an independent, anonymous expert for the author, who makes a decision on the compliance of the publication with the requirements of scientific nature and author's ethics.
A manuscript submitted for review is a confidential document and is subject to copyright law, and therefore cannot be used by the reviewer to discuss it with third parties (except for members of the editorial board) or for personal purposes.
If the reviewer considers himself insufficiently competent or biased regarding the content (the author's point of view on the problem) of the reviewed article, he should refuse to review it.
Articles submitted for review should not contain any personal information about its authors, in order to avoid bias from the point of view of the mismatch of ethnic, religious, social or other qualities of the authors and the reviewer, which are not directly related to the content of the work.
Reviewers should note the following information regarding the online review process:
● Registration on the website https://dorm.keu.kz/nii/ (first name, last name, organization, country, and other details requested in the form);
● System login: username (preferably the reviewer's or one of the authors' last names) and password (minimum 8 characters);
● Personal account (selecting the role of author or reviewer);
● Reviewing the journal's editorial policy (familiarization with journal requirements);
● Completing and submitting the review, and attaching necessary documents;
● Awaiting a response from the author and the journal's editorial team;
● Upon receiving a manuscript marked "For revision" or "Address comments," reviewing the revised version and resubmitting the review.
Procedure for reviewing articles received by
to the editorial office of the journal "Vestnik KEU"
Reviewing of manuscripts of scientific articles in the editorial office of the journal "Vestnik KEU" is carried out to maintain a high scientific and theoretical level of the publication and in order to select the most relevant scientific papers.
Peer review (expert evaluation) is carried out by at least 2 independent experts from among the most authoritative scientists cooperating with the editorial board of the journal. One of the reviewers may be a member of the editorial board (editorial board).
The review process is organized by the executive editor.
The Editorial Board keeps records of the submitted manuscripts passing the review procedure.
After the author submits the article, it is checked for compliance with the basic requirements for the design of the publication and for the presence of borrowing (plagiarism).
If the article meets the requirements, two independent reviewers are appointed (in accordance with the scientific direction in which the article is submitted). Reviewing of materials submitted to the editorial board of the journal "Vestnik KEU" is carried out in confidentiality.
In articles sent for review, the author's name and place of work are not indicated (anonymous).
The reviewer must submit an expert opinion within the period agreed with the editorial board, but, as a rule, not exceeding 2 weeks.
Based on the results of the expert evaluation, the reviewer evaluates the work, gives recommendations and makes a conclusion: "Without revision", "For revision", "Elimination of comments", "Reject".
The conclusion is considered by the editor and an appropriate decision is made.
If one or both reviewers make a decision "For revision", "Elimination of comments", then the author is set a deadline in which changes should be made to the article, according to the recommendations of the reviewer. If the author makes the necessary changes within the specified period, the article again goes through the review procedure. After that, a decision is made again.
If both reviewers make a decision "Without revision", the editor makes a decision "Accepted for publication", and the article is transferred to the category of "Accepted articles" and is published in the order of general priority.
In the event that the author does not agree with the decision "For revision", "Elimination of comments" and refuses to make changes to the article, the article is not published.
In the event of disputes over publication, the decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief.
The author can track all movements on the submitted article in the editorial system at the link https://dorm.keu.kz/nii/editor/ by his username and password.
