Guidelines for article submission, review and publication

Scientific articles are accepted for consideration exclusively through the electronic submission form available on the journal's website at http://lll21.petrsu.ru/user/addarticle_en.php.
All submitted manuscripts initially undergo preliminary screening to assess plagiarism, alignment with the journal's scope, and compliance with formatting requirements. If the materials do not correspond to the journal's profile, fail to meet formatting standards, contain plagiarism exceeding 25%, or include AI-generated text, the author receives a reasoned email notification explaining that the article cannot be accepted for publication.
Upon receiving a favorable preliminary assessment, articles are forwarded for peer review. The peer review process is completed within three months from the date of submission.
Peer review is conducted in accordance with international scientific practice using the double-blind peer review method, whereby the reviewer remains unaware of the author's identity, and the author does not know the identities of the reviewers. All reviewers are recognized experts in the subject area of the materials under evaluation.
The reviewer provides a conclusion regarding the suitability of the article for publication based on an assessment of criteria including relevance, novelty, scientific significance, reliability of presented results, text originality, and other factors, and subsequently recommends or does not recommend the article for publication.
When preparing a review, the reviewer may use a template developed by the journal's editorial office. The review text is submitted electronically by the reviewer with a personal signature verified by their institutional affiliation.
If revisions are required, the review text is sent to the author for familiarization via email (without disclosing the reviewer's identity or institutional affiliation). The author is allotted a limited timeframe, determined individually by the Editor-in-Chief in each case but no less than five business days and no more than two weeks, to address the reviewer's comments. Following revision, the article is returned to the reviewer for re-evaluation and a final decision regarding its recommendation for publication.
The final decision regarding the appropriateness of publication is made by the journal's editorial board, taking into account the reviewers' opinions. Upon the editorial board's approval of an article for publication, the Deputy Editor-in-Chief notifies the author and specifies the anticipated timeline for the article's appearance on the journal's website.
Articles not recommended for publication by the reviewers and the editorial board are not accepted for reconsideration. A reasoned rejection letter, accompanied by the texts of negative reviews, is sent to the author via email.
Publication in the journal Continuing Education: The 21st Century is provided free of charge to authors.
Articles submitted for publication may have no more than three authors.
Manuscripts in English are considered and published only if the author(s) are not native speakers of Russian.

For manuscript preparation, please refer to the Instructions for Authors, the Article Formatting Template, and the Requirements for Formatting the Reference List.
