Frequently Asked Questions

The Editorial Staff communicates with the authors only in writing via the e-mail web-service. The Editorial Staff does not give telephone consultations on the requirements for articles, research issues, terms of reviewing and other questions, as the detailed information on these points is contained in the content of the journal's website. After submitting the article via our online system, the author receives an automatic response - a letter notifying that the article has been received by the editors. If you have questions about reviewing, editing the manuscript, the author can write to the journal’s.address  iitta@gmail.com. The Editorial Staff responds to the letter within a week.
