The review of materials is carried out by a reviewer, who can be the editor of the journal, a member of the editorial board, the editorial board of the journal, or a specialist with the scientific specialization closest to the topic of the article. The editor-in-chief has the right to attract external reviewers (doctors or candidates of science, including practitioners) who are not members of the editorial board and (or) the editorial board. The editor-in-chief agrees with the reviewer on the deadline for submitting the review to the editorial office of the journal.

The author of the materials must make all necessary corrections to the final version of the article (review, review, etc.) no later than 7 calendar days after receiving the notification by e-mail, and return the corrected text and cover letter to the reviewer to the editor.

The editors send the author of the materials a reasoned refusal or a copy of the review.
If the publication of materials entailed a violation of someone’s copyright or generally accepted norms of scientific ethics, then the editors of the Journal have the right to publish a refutation, as well as inform interested parties about the fact of violation of rights.
