Peer-Review

All scientific articles submitted to the editorial office of the journal "Bulletin of the Kazakh-British Technical University" are subject to mandatory double-blind review (the reviewer does not know the authors of the manuscript, the authors of the manuscript do not know the reviewers). The manuscripts are sent to two reviewers for evaluation.

1. The review of articles is carried out by leading experts in the relevant industry. The decision on the choice of a reviewer for the examination of the article is made by the editor-in-chief and deputy editors-in-chief. The review period is up to 4 weeks, but it can be extended at the request of the reviewer.
2. Each reviewer has the right to refuse a review if there is a clear conflict of interests that affects the perception and interpretation of the materials of the manuscript. Based on the results of the review of the manuscript, the reviewer makes recommendations about the future of the article (each decision of the reviewer is justified):
   
   - the article is recommended for publication in this form;
   - the article is recommended for publication after correcting the shortcomings noted by the reviewer;
   - the article needs additional review by another specialist;
   - the article cannot be published in the journal.
   
   
3. If the review contains recommendations for correcting and finalizing the article, the editorial board sends the text of the review to the author with a proposal to take them into account when preparing a new version of the article or to refute them (partially or completely). The revision of the article should not take more than 2 months from the date of sending an electronic message to the authors about the need to make changes. The article modified by the author is re-sent for review.
4. If the authors refuse to finalize the materials, they must notify the editorial board in writing or orally of their refusal to publish the article. If the authors do not return the revised version after 2 months from the date of sending the review, even if there is no information from the authors with a refusal to finalize the article, the editorial board removes it from the register. In such situations, the authors are sent a corresponding notification about the withdrawal of the manuscript from registration due to the expiration of the period allotted for revision.
5. If the author and the reviewers have unsolvable contradictions regarding the manuscript, the editorial board has the right to send the manuscript for additional review. In conflict situations, the decision is made by the editor-in-chief at a meeting of the editorial board.
6. The decision to refuse to publish the manuscript is made at a meeting of the editorial board in accordance with the recommendations of the reviewers. An article that is not recommended for publication by the decision of the editorial board is not accepted for re-consideration. A message about the refusal to publish is sent to the author by e-mail.
7. After the editorial board of the journal makes a decision on the admission of the article for publication, the editorial board informs the author about this.
8. The presence of a positive review is not a sufficient reason for the publication of the article. The final decision on publication is made by the editorial board. In conflict situations, the decision is made by the editor-in-chief.
9. The original reviews are kept in the editorial office of the journal for 5 years
