For Peer Reviewers

Reviewers receive manuscripts for peer review through Open Journal Systems available on the website of the Journal at submission.vestnikmgsu.ru. As a rule, the Editorial office selects peer reviewers from the list of members of the Editorial Council, other distinguished Russian or foreign researchers, including contributing authors of our Journal.  Having extended his/her consent to review a manuscript, the reviewer gets registered in Open Journal Systems and receives the manuscripts for its review.  Further, the reviewer follows the instructions available at: submission.vestnikmgsu.ru.

The editorial staff has developed a special application form for review rez_template eng (.doc) / rez_template eng (.pdf) . We recommend potential reviewers to fill it, sign, scan and upload it to the online system.

The Editorial office encourages reviewers engaged in the consideration of submitted manuscripts to adhere to the Ethical Guidelines of the Editorial Policy of MGSU as the Publisher of Scientific Journals, Committee for Ethics of Research Publications, Moscow, Russia), the principles specified in COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers, developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) , and the guidelines for publication of manuscripts accepted by Elsevier journals.
We encourage reputable Russian and international researchers specializing in the civil engineering/architecture-related research within the scope of coverage of our Journal to participate in the expert appraisal, or review, of manuscripts submitted for publication in our Journal.  Contact the Editorial office by email, or get registered with Open Journal Systems for the Executive Editor to contact you ASAP.
