Peer-Review

All scientific articles submitted to the editorial office of the Arctic XXI Century journal undergo mandatory double-blind peer review.

To be accepted for publication, an article must constitute a significant contribution to the understanding of the research topic, capable of influencing existing knowledge in the subject area. Furthermore, the manuscript must be structured in accordance with the journal's requirements for presenting information in manuscripts of a specific genre. All structural components of the manuscript must serve their intended function, not merely be present as formal elements.

Peer Review Process

1. Articles are reviewed by members of the Editorial Board, as well as by invited reviewers – leading specialists in the relevant field from Russia and other countries. The standard review period is two weeks but may be extended upon the reviewer's request.
2. Manuscripts are reviewed by at least two reviewers.
3. A reviewer has the right to decline a review in case of a clear conflict of interest that could affect the perception and interpretation of the manuscript's content. Upon evaluating the manuscript, the reviewer provides recommendations regarding its further disposition (each recommendation must be substantiated):

• The article is recommended for publication in its present form.
• The article is recommended for publication after revision, addressing the comments noted by the reviewer.
• The article requires additional review by another specialist.
• The article cannot be published in the journal (due to a narrow thematic focus, lack of novelty, absence of a significant conceptual contribution, or significant technical and/or interpretive issues).

4. If the review contains recommendations for corrections and revisions, the journal's editorial office sends the review text to the author with a request to consider them when preparing a revised version or to provide a reasoned (partial or full) rebuttal. Revising the article should not take more than two months from the date of sending the electronic notification to the authors about the need for changes. The revised article is then sent for a new round of review.
5. If the authors decline to revise the manuscript, they must notify the editorial office in writing or orally of their withdrawal from publication. If the authors do not return a revised version within three months from the date the review was sent, even without receiving a formal withdrawal notice, the editorial office withdraws the manuscript from consideration. In such cases, the authors are notified accordingly about the withdrawal of their manuscript due to the expiration of the revision period.
6. If unresolvable disagreements arise between the author and the reviewers regarding the manuscript, the Editorial Board has the right to send the manuscript for an additional review. In conflict situations, the final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief during an Editorial Board meeting.
7. The decision to reject a manuscript for publication is made by the Editorial Board during a meeting, in accordance with the reviewers' recommendations. An article not recommended for publication by the Editorial Board's decision will not be reconsidered. A rejection notice is sent to the author via email.
8. After the journal's Editorial Board decides to accept an article for publication, the editorial office informs the author and specifies the publication timeline.
9. A positive review is not a sufficient basis for publication. The final publication decision is made by the Editorial Board. In conflict situations, the decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief.

Use of Generative AI and AI-Assisted Tools in Scientific Writing

This policy applies exclusively to the writing process and does not cover the use of AI for data analysis or deriving scientific conclusions during research.

Purpose of AI Use

Authors may use generative AI and AI tools solely to enhance the readability and linguistic quality of their manuscripts. Such tools must be used under human supervision, with the output carefully reviewed and edited by the authors. It is important to recognize that AI can generate text that appears authoritative but may contain inaccuracies, incomplete information, or biases.
