The requirements for articles and the contact details of the editors are available on the individual websites of each journal.

Each editorial board adheres to the international standards for the ethics of scientific publications, developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), as well as recognizes valuable expertise of authoritative international journals.

In order to ensure high quality of scientific publications, to avoid malpractice (such as publishing of false information, falsification of data, plagiarism, etc.) and ensure public recognition of scientific advances, each editorial board and individuals involved in the publication process are obliged to respect and comply with the ethical values and standards of the international community, as well as take all reasonable measures to prevent the above-mentioned violations.

Each editorial board in no way encourages unlawful conduct (plagiarism, manipulation, falsification) and will not tolerate such behavior.  In the event that the editorial board learns of any misconduct or violation of the ethics concerning articles, published in the journal, editorial stuff must follow the recommendations of COPE (or its equivalent).

OPEN ACCESS POLICY

Each journal provides open access to its content based on the principle that ensuring public access to research promotes a broader global exchange of knowledge.

The peer review process consists of four stages: evaluation by the editor-in-chief; public (open) review; a unilateral blind (anonymous) review conducted by a foreign scientist unaffiliated with the author(s), including a full report in English; and a unilateral blind (anonymous) review by scientists not affiliated with Al-Farabi Kazakh National University or the author(s), also including a full report in English. In cases where the opinions of the reviewers (both foreign and Kazakhstani) differ regarding the publication, the final decision rests with the editor-in-chief.
