Peer Review Process

Introduction

All manuscripts are subject to compulsory at least one “double blind” peer review, and should to meet standards of academic excellence and Author Guidelines for manuscript preparing and submission.

Review should provide a comprehensive and unbiased evaluation of work, and analysis of pros and cons of presented article.

Papers are reviewed by a number of both outside experts and members of the Editorial Board team, who are PhDs or Doctorates of Science, have enough experience in the field similar with presented article, and familiar with journal Editor Board requirements to published works.

Reviewer cannot work together with author (or authors) in the same institution or organization. Editor Board team seeks to prevent a Conflict of Interest between authors and reviewers.

Editorial board team defines the number of reviews. Chief Editor may request an additional review.

Editorial Board team determine the time of reviewing by taking into account conditions for provision of the fastest article publishing.

Journal does not pay for reviewing of submitted papers.

Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts are registered. After Chief Editor confirmation article is redirected to members of Editorial Board.

Members of Editorial Board may review article by themselves or propose a reviewer, who is a specialist over reviewed article scientific field.

After reviewer appointment by Chief Editor and accepting of invitation by reviewer, the executive secretary sends to reviewer cover letter and manuscript.

Review is prepared according to recommended by Journal Review Form. It is send to the Journal by e-mail or by post service.

Editorial Board considers received review and then makes one of the following decisions based on the reviewers' advice:

  • accept without revisions (reviewers may specify minor revisions, including correction of typographical or bibliographical errors);
  • accept with minor revisions (if the author supplies appropriate responses to the reviewer's comments and questions (as specified) or/and if revised according to the reviewer's recommendations (as specified));
  • accept with major revisions / resubmit;
  • reject (for a reasons specified).

Editorial Board sends to the author reviewer's questions, comments and recommendations and invites the author to revise their manuscript to address specific concerns before a final decision is reached. If the author does not agree with revisions, he have to prepare detailed argue reply.

Resubmitted manuscript should be prepared not longer then two month till Editorial Board sent revision to the author. Resubmitted paper is subjected to peer review again.

Editorial Board does not release reviewers’ identities to authors or to other reviewers, except when reviewers specifically ask to be identified.

Review without information about reviewer’s identity is provided to the author by e-mail or in print form by post service. The author should confirm receipt of review.

Author may prepare detailed well-reasoned dissent with revision, and Chief Editor makes decision about following manuscript resubmission.

If author agree with revisions, he may correct and change the paper according to reviews’ comments and recommendations and resubmit manuscript. Journal recommends to authors prepares cover letter with detailed well-reasoned reply to reviewers. The procedure of reviewing repeats once more. In this case data of paper receipt by the Journal Editorial Board is data of the last resubmitted manuscript version.

Paper can be accepted to publishing under minor revisions without manuscript resubmission by author, if revisions are minor and requires only Editorial Board corrections (like misprints, typographical or bibliographical errors) and author confirms them.

Content of Review

Generally the number of review pages is no limited, however the Journal recommends preparing review no more then 2 print papers.
Review may include estimations of the following criteria:

  • motivation or/and importance of study;
  • purpose/goal of study clearly stated;

Publishing Ethics

The "Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems" journal publishes articles that comply with international norms of publication ethics in scientific journals. A manuscript will be withdrawn from publication if at any stage of evaluation, editing and pre-publication preparation, or after publication, if the editors or readers identify a violation from the requirements of publication ethics. Withdrawal of the article will also result in a lack of opportunity for the authors team to publish in our journal in the future.

The Ethic policy of "Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems" journal is based on recomendations from international commettees:


Reporting standarts

The "Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems" journal editorial team ask authors of reports of original research to present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Review and professional publication articles should also be accurate and objective, and editorial opinion works should be clearly identified as such.

Submission of false data or knowingly erroneous statements in the manuscript will be considered as a significant violation of publication ethics.


Data Access and Retention

Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication. 

Authors are encouraged to make the research data that support their publications available but are not required to do so. The decision to publish will not be affected by whether or not authors share their research data.

Definition of research data

This policy applies to the research data that would be required to verify the results of research reported in articles published in the journal “Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems”. Research data include data produced by the authors (“primary data”) and data from other sources that are analysed by authors in their study (“secondary data”). Research data includes any recorded factual material that are used to produce the results in digital and non-digital form. This includes tabular data, code, images, audio, documents, video, maps, raw and/or processed data.

Definition of exceptions

The data that is not a subject to public disclosure may be delivered as follows: deposited in science data repositories with limited access or preliminary anonymised. An author can also publicly deliver metadata only and/or description of the method of access to the data under requests from other scholars.

Data repositories

The preferred mechanism for sharing research data is via data repositories. Please see or https://repositoryfinder.datacite.org/  for help finding research data repositories.

Data citation

The Editorial Board of the Journal “Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems” welcomes access to data under Creative Commons Licenses. Editorial Board of the Journal “Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems” does not insist on the obligatory use of Creative Commons in case when the data is deposited in the repositories of the third party. The Publisher of the Journal “Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems” does not assert any copyrights for the data submitted by the author together with the article.  


Plagiarism

Plagiarism takes many forms, from passing off another paper as the author(s) own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another(s) paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Only original works are acceptable for publication in "Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems" journal.

The journal does not allow any forms of plagiarism. Authors must not use the words, figures, or ideas of others without attribution. All sources must be cited at "Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems"  journal take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously.

We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of published articles. Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice.

All the submitted articles are evaluated with plagiarism-checking software (Antiplagiat). Where an article, for example, is found to have plagiarized other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgment, or where the authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to:

  • publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction);
  • retracting the article;
  • taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author’s institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies;
  • or taking appropriate legal action.

Also you can see ORI Avoiding Plagiarism, Self-plagiarism, and Other Questionable Writing Practices: A Guide to Ethical Writing

Identification of illegal borrowings is carried out as part of scientific peer-review through the ANTI-PLAGIARISM system (Antiplagiat).

At this type of evaluation:

  • The editors do not take into account the percentage of originality calculated by the anti-plagiarism program;
  • The editors relies only on an expert analysis of the full report of the program;
  • The editors allow for complete coincidence in the description of the applied research methods with such in previously published articles, textbooks, manuals.;
  • The editors believe that the introduction, results, discussion and conclusion (conclusions) should be completely original.
  • If conclusions coincide with those formulated earlier by other researchers, this should be explicitly indicated in the manuscript in the discussion section.

Duplicate Submission and Redundant Publication

"Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems" journal consider only original content, i.e. articles that have not been previously published, including in a language other than English. Articles based on content previously made public only on a preprint server, institutional repository, or in a thesis will be considered.

Manuscripts submitted to "Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems" journal must not be submitted elsewhere while under consideration and must be withdrawn before being submitted elsewhere. Authors whose articles are found to have been simultaneously submitted elsewhere may incur sanctions.

If authors have used their own previously published work, or work that is currently under review, as the basis for a submitted manuscript, they must cite the previous articles and indicate how their submitted manuscript differs from their previous work. Reuse of the authors’ own words outside the Methods should be attributed or quoted in the text. Reuse of the authors’ own figures or substantial amounts of wording may require permission from the copyright holder and the authors are responsible for obtaining this.

"Physics of Wave Processes and Radio Systems" journal will consider extended versions of articles published at conferences provided this is declared in the cover letter, the previous version is clearly cited and discussed, there is significant new content, and any necessary permissions are obtained.

Redundant publication, the inappropriate division of study outcomes into more than one article (also known as salami slicing), may result in rejection or a request to merge submitted manuscripts, and the correction of published articles. Duplicate publication of the same, or a very similar, article may result in the retraction of the later article and the authors may incur sanctions.


Citation Manipulation

Authors whose submitted manuscripts are found to include citations whose primary purpose is to increase the number of citations to a given author’s work, or to articles published in a particular journal, may incur sanctions.

Editors and reviewers must not ask authors to include references merely to increase citations to their own or an associate’s work, to the journal, or to another journal they are associated with.


Authorship clarified

The Journal and Publisher assume all authors agreed with the content and that all gave explicit consent to submit and that they obtained consent from the responsible authorities at the institute/organization where the work has been carried out, before the work is submitted.

The Publisher does not prescribe the kinds of contributions that warrant authorship. It is recommended that authors adhere to the guidelines for authorship that are applicable in their specific research field. In absence of specific guidelines it is recommended to adhere to the following guidelines (based on ICMJE guidelines):

All authors whose names appear on the submission:

  1. made substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data; or the creation of new software used in the work AND;
  2. drafted the work or revised it critically for important intellectual content AND;
  3. approved the version to be published AND;
  4. agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.

Anyone who contributed to the research or manuscript preparation, but is not an author, should be acknowledged with their permission.

Submissions by anyone other than one of the authors will not be considered.

When submitting a manuscript to the journal, Authors shall ensure that:

  • All participants who made a significant contribution to the reported study are presented as Co-Authors;
  • Those who did not participate in the study are not listed as Co-Authors;
  • All Co-Authors have read and approved the final version of the paper and agreed to its submission for publication—this shall be confirmed by the signatures of all Authors in the cover letter. 

Research Ethics and Patient Consent (Statement of Human and Animal Rights)

Any research involving human subjects must be conducted according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki. If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach, and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study.

Submitted manuscripts should conform to the ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, and all papers reporting animal and/or human studies must state in the methods section that the relevant Ethics Committee or Institutional Review Board provided (or waived) approval. Please ensure that you have provided the full name and institution of the review committee, in addition to the approval number.

For research articles, authors are also required to state in the methods section whether participants provided informed consent and whether the consent was written or verbal.

A statement is required regarding whether written informed consent for patient information and images to be published was provided by the patient(s) or a legally authorized representative. Please do not submit the patient’s actual written informed consent with your article, as this in itself breaches the patient’s confidentiality. The Journal requests that you confirm to us, in writing, that you have obtained written informed consent but the written consent itself should be held by the authors/investigators themselves, for example in a patient’s hospital record. The confirmatory letter may be uploaded with your submission as a separate file.

Please also refer to the ICMJE Recommendations for the Protection of Research Participants.

If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the work involves the use of animal or human subjects, the authors should ensure that the manuscript contains a statement that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and that the appropriate institutional committee(s) have approved them. Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.

When reporting experiments on animals, authors have to indicate whether the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.


Use of inclusive language

Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Articles should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader, should contain nothing which might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of race, sex, culture or any other characteristic, and should use inclusive language throughout. 


Conflicts of Interest

The journal requires that all authors disclose any potential sources of conflict of interest. Any interest or relationship, financial or otherwise that might be perceived as influencing an author's objectivity is considered a potential source of conflict of interest. These must be disclosed when directly relevant or directly related to the work that the authors describe in their manuscript. Potential sources of conflict of interest include, but are not limited to: patent or stock ownership, membership of a company board of directors, membership of an advisory board or committee for a company, and consultancy for or receipt of speaker's fees from a company. The existence of a conflict of interest does not preclude publication. If the authors have no conflict of interest to declare, they must also state this at submission. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to review this policy with all authors and collectively to disclose with the submission ALL pertinent commercial and other relationships.

Conflicts include the following:

  • Financial — funding and other payments, goods and services received or expected by the authors relating to the subject of the work or from an organization with an interest in the outcome of the work;
  • Affiliations — being employed by, on the advisory board for, or a member of an organization with an interest in the outcome of the work;
  • Intellectual property — patents or trademarks owned by someone or their organization;
  • Personal — friends, family, relationships, and other close personal connections;
  • Ideology — beliefs or activism, for example, political or religious, relevant to the work;
  • Academic — competitors or someone whose work is critiqued.

Information on conflicts of interest received from the Authors of manuscripts should be available only to the Editorial Board when deciding whether to publish the manuscript. Such information on conflicts of interest shall then be published as part of the full text of the paper.

When writing this part of the manuscript, the Publisher recommends using the interactive form available at https://admin1.journals.elsevier.com/media/bpwkqcoc/coi_disclosure.pdf

A Reviewer shall not participate in the review of manuscripts if there are conflicts of interest due to competitive, collaborative, and other interactions and relationships with any of the Authors, companies, or other organizations related to the submitted paper.

Editors recuse themselves from reviewing manuscripts if there are conflicts of interest due to competitive, collaborative, and other interactions and relationships with Authors, companies, and possibly other organizations related to the manuscript.

For more information on conflicts of interest, see the guidance from the ICMJE and WAME.


Assessment of a peer-reviewer competence

Assessment of a peer-reviewer competence is the sole prerogative of the journal's editorial board. Attempts by authors to assess the competence of peer-reviewers will result in rejection of the manuscript.


Funding and Acknowledgement of Sources

Authors should list all funding sources in the Acknowledgments section. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their funder designation. If in doubt, please check the Open Funder Registry for the correct nomenclature: https://www.crossref.org/services/funder-registry/  

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. Information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, must not be used without the explicit written permission of the author of the work involved in these services.


Fundamental errors in published works, Corrections and Retractions

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the authors obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

If the editor or the publisher learn from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, it is the obligation of the author to promptly retract or correct the paper or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.

When errors are identified in published articles, the publisher will consider what action is required and may consult the editors and the authors’ institution(s). 

Errors by the authors may be corrected by a corrigendum, and errors by the publisher — by an erratum.

If there are errors that significantly affect the conclusions or there is evidence of misconduct, this may require retraction or an expression of concern following the COPE Retraction Guidelines. All authors will be asked to agree to the content of the appropriate notice.


Confidentiality and personal data

The Editor and the Editorial Board shall not unnecessarily disclose information on the manuscript under consideration to anyone other than the Authors, Reviewers, possible Reviewers, other Academic Advisors, and the Publisher.

The Editor shall not use unpublished materials disclosed in the submitted manuscript in the Editor’s own research without the written consent of the Author.

Reviewers shall not use unpublished materials from the submitted manuscripts in the Reviewer’s own research without the written consent of the Author.

Reviewers must keep information or ideas obtained during the review process confidential and not use them for personal gain.

Reviewers shall not discuss the manuscript with any person not authorized by the Editor.

Identifiable (personal) information, including patient names and initials or hospital numbers, shall not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and genetic pedigrees unless the information is of great scientific or historical value and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written consent for its publication.

Ethical guidelines for handling personal data in biomedical research involving human subjects must comply with legal acts, such as the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) International Ethical Guidelines for Health-Related Research Involving Humans (2016)―in particular, Guideline No. 12 “Collection, Storage and Use of Data in Health-Related Research”  ― as well as the Russian Federal Law on Personal Data (No. 152-FZ), implemented on July 27, 2006.
