Articles should not exceed:
• 12,000 words (for key presentations)
• 6,000 words for other articles and book reviews
• 1,200 words for conference information.

Submissions:

Manuscripts are accepted for review by sending them to the editor-in-chief's email: a.v.malinov@gmail.com  Submission of manuscripts through the official website is temporarily suspended.

The author(s) should submit a file saved where possible in the Word for Windows format, font size — 12 pt. References should be placed at the end of the article.

A brief information about the author including: name and surname, current position, academic degrees, address, telephone number, E-mail address should be provided separately. 

The peer review procedure
Once an author submits a manuscript, it is checked to make sure that the submission is complete and has been prepared according to the FP submission guidelines. Each manuscript is then read by an editor and assistant editor to assess its relevance for the journal according to the guidelines determined by the editorial policy. Thereby we ensure that the content falls within the scope of the journal, that it is original and follows editorial policy and procedural guidelines. A manuscript could be rejected without additional review for the reasons mentioned above, and the authors will be notified.
If a manuscript is not rejected in the first stage, it is then sent out for review to a minimum of two reviewers who are part of the FP's pool of reviewers. The manuscript undergoes a double-blind review: the authors and the reviewers are unaware of each other's identity. Once reviewers are chosen and they accept their assignment, we send them a checklist that covers all assessment guidelines. For each type of submissions (original research, case-study report, book review, etc.) we use different assessment criteria.
The reviewers provide their recommendations to the editor-in-chief, who assesses them in consultation with other FP editors and then makes one of the following decisions:

1. to reject the manuscript (either outright or with encouragement to resubmit);
2. to withhold judgment pending major or minor revisions;
3. to accept the manuscript pending satisfactorily completed revisions;
4. to accept it as written (a very rare option).

For manuscripts accepted pending revision, the authors must resubmit a revised manuscript that will pass some of the stages mentioned above. Once the final revision is completed the manuscript will be accepted and put into the production process to prepare it for publication.
