3. Manuscript Registration and Review Procedure

3.1. Registration

The procedure of manuscript registration takes place on the platform Online Publishing System of Psychological Journals. Instructions are available in the corresponding section of the PsyJournals.ru portal “MSUPE Journal Manuscript Submission”.

Upon submission, each manuscript is assigned a unique registration number, ensuring anonymity during the peer review process. This number is used to track the manuscript throughout its evaluation.

3.2. Originality Check

All submitted manuscripts undergo a mandatory plagiarism check using the “Antiplagiat.VUZ” system. Any quoted or paraphrased text, including the author's own previous work, must be properly cited with references to the source and specific pages. Manuscripts may include materials from the author’s thesis or dissertation only if they have not been previously published in peer-reviewed journals.

3.3. Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the plagiarism check are sent for expert review by specialists in the relevant field. The review process follows a double-blind model, meaning neither the authors nor the reviewers are aware of each other's identities.

  • Primary review period: up to 60 days.
  • Reviews are advisory and serve as the basis for either acceptance or rejection of the manuscript.
  • Should revisions be required, the author must submit an updated version of the manuscript within the timeframe specified by the editorial team. All changes must be clearly highlighted in the revised manuscript.

If the author disagrees with any reviewer comments, a reasoned response must be provided; otherwise, the manuscript may be rejected.

3.4. Publishing Licence Agreement

Prior to publication, the manuscript must be accepted through the signing of a Publishing Licence Agreement. This is a compulsory step for all manuscripts, without which the article will not be published.

3.5. Personal Data

The regulation of issues related to personal data, according to the requirements of the Federal Law of July 27, 2006 No. 152-FZ “On Personal Data” with the amendments adopted thereto, effective from 01.09.2022, is carried out by concluding (in writing):

  • Consent to the processing of personal data;
  • Consent to the dissemination of personal data.

When submitting a manuscript, the corresponding author confirms the consent to the processing of personal data in the section “Submission Checklist” of the Online Publishing System.

Authors must provide consent for the processing and dissemination of personal data. This consent is confirmed during the manuscript submission process via the Online Publishing System. Original signed consent forms must be submitted to the editorial office along with the signed Publishing Licence Agreement.

These procedures ensure that all published work meets the high academic and ethical standards set by the publisher.

Consent forms are available on the PsyJournals.ru portal in the section “MSUPE Journal Manuscript Submission”.
