Regulations on reviewing in the journal "Materials. Technologies. Design»

All articles submitted to the editorial office of the journal are reviewed. Leading experts in the field of materials science, engineering or technology are involved in reviewing articles, depending on the direction of the article under consideration.

After receipt, each manuscript is sent to two reviewers (if the topic of the manuscript concerns several areas of the journal, the article can be sent to three or more specialists). After determining the list of potential reviewers by the editorial board, they are sent a letter inviting them to register on the website and participate in the expert evaluation of the article.
