Evaluation

Articles being considered for publication will be sent to anonymous referees for evaluation. Responsibility for following articles in the evaluation process lies with the editor and publication committee. Articles accepted for publication after completion of the referees’ evaluations will be returned to the author for corrections, if required. Articles that are not accepted for publication cannot be returned. Authors are charged no fees for the acceptance, processing or publishing of the articles they submit to the Internal Journal of Russian Studies.
