PEER REVIEW PROCESS
The scientific works, presented to the Editorial Board of the journal "The Science of Physical Culture", published by the State University of Physical Education and Sports, are first examined by the Scientific Committee to decide whether a particular article fits the topic of the journal; if it corresponds, then the works are sent to reviewers for approval, respectively, to experts in the field with whom the journal has concluded agreements in this regard.
In order for a paper to be published, it must have a well-motivated proof of the reviewers, which is then considered and further endorsed by the Editorial Board and approved by the Editor-in-Chief.
If the first review is "negative", the well-reasoned rejection is submitted for examination to the Scientific Committee, which may approve either the rejection or send the paper for a new review to another independent reviewer.
Most papers require some modifications before being published. If the given work is of this type, then it is presented to the author to check it and submit it, at the request of the publisher, taking into account the recommendations of the reviewer.
The modified version, presented, is again sent to the reviewer, in order to be considered a possibility of publishing the modified work.
The final decision on the publication of the modified version of the paper or on its presentation for another review is the prerogative of the editorial board.
If the paper is rejected, the author(s) will receive a well-defined explanation from the Specialized Scientific Committee according to the final decision issued by the Editor-in-Chief.
The paper approved for publication is then submitted for correction and editing.
Then, the author(s) check the revision changes and accept the work done or correct the inaccuracies. However, essential changes by the author after editing and correction are not allowed.
