Publication follows a continuous publication model, where each article appears online immediately after peer review and acceptance, ensuring timely dissemination of research without waiting for the completion of the entire issue.

Academic Standards and Research Integrity
The series upholds internationally recognized standards of academic publishing and research ethics. Submissions must demonstrate originality, methodological soundness, and intellectual rigor, along with transparent documentation of data, sources, and references. Each manuscript undergoes an originality check using professional plagiarism-detection software.

Each thematic issue is managed by an appointed Guest Editor, who defines the academic focus of the issue, oversees the peer review process, and provides recommendations on the acceptance of papers. Guest Editors work in accordance with the editorial policy of the series and in close cooperation with the permanent Editorial Board.

Peer Review Process
All manuscripts are subject to a double-blind peer review, ensuring that neither authors nor reviewers are aware of each other’s identities. Possible editorial outcomes include: accept, accept with minor revisions, revise and resubmit, or reject. Final publication decisions are based on reviewers’ reports and the Guest Editor’s recommendations, followed by editorial compliance checks performed by the series office.
