Trudy instituta russkogo yazyka imeni V.V. Vinogradova (Proceedings of the V.V. Vinogradov Russian Language Institute) is a peer-reviewed journal. Every submitted article is evaluated by at least two members of the advisory board and, if needed, by other reviewers with relevant experience and expertise (double-blind peer-review). Within a month, the author receives the editors’ response with their decision and a list of any changes needed for the article to be accepted for publication.

PEER REVIEW POLICY

A double-blind peer review method is mandatory for processing of all scientific manuscripts submitted to the editorial stuff of “Trudy Instituta Russkogo Yazyka imeni V.V. Vinogradova" (Proceedins of the V.V. Vinogradov Russian Language Institute). 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 board and leading Russian and international experts in corresponding areas of linguistics 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 3-4 weeks, though in some cases the schedule may be adjusted at the reviewer’s request.
  2. 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; - that final decision be reached following further reviewing by another specialist; - to reject the manuscript outright.
  3. If the reviewer has recommended any refinements, the editorial staff 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.
  4. We politely request that the editor 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.
  5. If author and reviewers meet insoluble contradictions regarding revision of the manuscript, the editor-in-chief resolves the conflict by his own authority.
  6. The editorial board reaches final decision to reject a manuscript on the hearing according to reviewers’ recommendations, and duly notifies the authors of their decision via e-mail. The board does not accept previously rejected manuscripts for reevaluation.
  7. Upon the decision to accept the manuscript for publishing, the editorial staff notifies the authors of the scheduled date of publication.
  8. Kindly note that positive review does not guarantee the acceptance, as final decision in all cases lies with the editorial board. By his authority, editor-in-chief rules final solution of every conflict.
  9. Original reviews of submitted manuscripts remain deposited for 5 years.

    By submitting a paper, the authors confirm their authorship of the submitted article. The journal does not require all authors of a research paper to sign the letter of submission. Submission is taken by the journal to mean that all the listed authors have agreed all of the contents.

    Those submitting papers should carefully check that all those whose work (in research or writing) contributed to the paper are acknowledged as contributing authors. No one who made a meaningful contribution to the article should be left out and each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content of the article. Funding for any type of publication should be stated within the publication. Other sources of support for publications should be clearly identified in the manuscript, usually in an acknowledgement. Authors should make full acknowledgement of colleagues and other researchers who have made a meaningful contribution to the paper submitted for publication.

    Authors should ensure that they clearly cite, reference and acknowledge all instances where they have used or been influenced by the work of others, including their own previously published articles and research material. Any form of plagiarism will not be tolerated.

    Self plagiarism (redundant publication) also must be avoided. Authors must inform the editors of the journal about any related papers by any of the authors of the article that have been submitted to other journals.
