The submission of material for consideration as an analytical review of relevant works (no longer than 1 author’s sheet) and review articles on latest scientific literature (no longer than 0.25 author’s sheet – 1500 words) is also encouraged by the Editor. A review article sent by July, 1st, of each current year must be related to a book published in the previous year. Review articles sent after July 1 must be related to a book published strictly in the current year.

3. If the Journal has accepted a manuscript for consideration, this gives no guarantee that it will be published. All materials are anonymously reviewed by external experts.

4. All manuscripts should be written in literary language, scientific style, and be properly edited.

5. The Journal does not publish works already published elsewhere or currently under review by another publisher.
