Review

Every author deserves to receive enough attention for himself and his work. Therefore, we use a multi-stage system for reviewing submitted materials.

Initial assessment.

The submitted manuscripts are subject to an initial assessment by the editor-in-chief (for compliance with the mission and objectives of the journal, the relevance of the topic under study) and a technical specialist (for compliance with the structure and design of the article with the requirements of the journal, an anti-plagiarism check is carried out). If the manuscripts are deemed suitable for further review, they will be submitted by independent, anonymous peer reviewers. The period of initial review of the manuscript is 10-14 days from the moment of registration of the material.

The review stage.

All manuscripts admitted to the second stage undergo a double-blind review process (the reviewer does not receive information about the authors of the manuscript, the authors of the manuscript do not receive information about the reviewers). All peer review (2 reviewers are specialists on the research topic) is carried out through the technical specialist of the editorial office. The review stage can take from 30 to 60 days. The editorial board of the journal sends the authors of the submitted materials copies of the reviews or a reasoned refusal.

Revision of the article.

Based on the results of the review, the author should finalize the article in accordance with the comments of the reviewers within 30 days. It is recommended to highlight corrections in color in the text. The author may also submit a cover letter specifying the responses to the reviewer's comments. If the editorial board does not receive the corrected text of the article within the prescribed time, the material is sent to the archive.

Making decisions about publication.

The editorial board decides on the acceptance of the article for publication in accordance with the order and subject of the issue. At the request of the author, the editorial board can provide a certificate of acceptance of the article for publication.

Self-archiving policy by the author

The Municipality: Economics and Management Journal recommends that authors, after publishing an article on the journal's website, post their publications on their own personal websites or in other repositories (ResearchGate and/or SocArXiv and SSRN, on the repositories of their scientific organizations) of post-prints of articles in institutional repositories and other platforms, indicating in the bibliographic description a link to the publication of the final version articles in the journal "Municipality: Economics and Management".

We also welcome the placement of the datasets used in the article (with the corresponding link) on resources such as Figshare and Mendely Data.
