Peer-review process

All manuscripts submitted to the journal are reviewed by the editorial team for compliance with the journal’s editorial requirements and ethical principles. Articles that meet the basic requirements undergo peer review.

The journal employs a double-blind peer review system, in which the identities of both the author and the reviewer are kept confidential. Reviews are conducted by specialists in the relevant field with academic degrees and experience in the subject area.

All materials are evaluated according to the following criteria: relevance of the research topic; originality and independent character of the study; high theoretical level; reliable, original, and scientifically justified research results; methodological and linguistic quality; compliance with the journal’s editorial policy and ethical standards, as well as manuscript requirements.

After reviewing the manuscript, the reviewer may make one of the following decisions: 1) accept for publication in the author’s version; 2) accept for publication with minor edits made by the editorial board; 3) return the manuscript to the author for revision (the revised manuscript may be resubmitted); 4) reject the manuscript if it does not meet the journal’s editorial policy, ethical standards, or manuscript requirements.

The standard review period is 2–3 weeks.

Authors are notified of the review results by email. All decisions are documented and stored in the journal’s editorial archive.

Each issue of the academic journal Humanitas is recommended for publication by the Academic Council of Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University.
