Peer Review Process
Manuscripts submitted to the Computational Mathematics and Information Technologies journal undergo mandatory double-blind peer review (reviewers and authors remain anonymous to each other). Manuscripts are sent for review only after passing an initial check for formatting compliance and relevance to the journal's scope.
Peer reviews are conducted by members of the editorial board and invited reviewers — leading experts from Russia and other countries. The editor-in-chief selects reviewers based on their expertise in the subject area and ensures the absence of conflicts of interest related to the research, authors, or funding sources. Reviewers are expected to evaluate the manuscripts objectively and refrain from personal criticism of the author(s). Ideas, methods, and results disclosed during the review process are treated as confidential and cannot be used for personal purposes.
If a reviewer doubts their qualifications for assessing the manuscript or anticipates delays in the review process, they must promptly notify the editorial office.
Each manuscript is evaluated based on the following criteria: the relevance and novelty of the research, alignment with the stated topic, academic writing style, and adherence to spelling and grammar norms. The standard review period is 2–4 weeks, but it may be extended upon the reviewer’s request.
Publishing Ethics
The editorial board of the journal Computational Mathematics and Information Technologies adheres to ethical standards accepted by the international scientific and academic communities and takes all necessary measures to prevent any violations of these standards. This statement is based on the recommendations and standards developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and includes responsibilities for authors, reviewers, members of the editorial board, the editor-in-chief, and the publisher.
The editor-in-chief of the journal Computational Mathematics and Information Technologies is responsible for deciding which submitted works should be published, relying on reviewers' opinions and the recommendations of the editorial board members. Decisions to reject, request revisions, or accept a manuscript for publication follow a transparent and objective procedure. The editor-in-chief and members of the editorial board evaluate manuscripts based on their intellectual content, regardless of the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political preferences of the authors.
The editor-in-chief does not disclose information about submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the author, reviewers, potential reviewers, members of the editorial board, and the publisher. Furthermore, the editor-in-chief, members of the editorial board, and reviewers make every effort to ensure anonymous peer review, meaning they do not reveal the reviewers' names to the authors.
When submitting a manuscript to Computational Mathematics and Information Technologies, the author(s) must guarantee that this is their original work and that it has never been published or is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors must ensure proper citation of publications they have used or that are relevant to the submitted work, including their own previously published articles and research materials.
All authors must consent to the manuscript submission and disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the manuscript's evaluation. Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the concept, planning, execution, or interpretation of the reported research. All individuals who have contributed significantly should be listed as co-authors. Substantial contributions by others should be acknowledged or noted as significant contributions.
Authors are obliged to include all co-authors who meet these requirements and exclude those who do not. They must ensure that the final version of the article has been approved by all co-authors prior to submission.
If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, it is their responsibility to promptly notify the journal's editor or publisher and cooperate to correct the error or retract the article if necessary.

Disclosure Policy and Conflicts of Interest
All authors must agree to the submission of their manuscript for publication and disclose any potential conflicts of interest—professional or financial—that could be interpreted as influencing the evaluation of their manuscript.

Addressing Unethical Behavior
Anyone can report suspicions of unethical behavior or misconduct to the Editor-in-Chief or Editorial Board at any time by providing necessary and reliable information or evidence to initiate an investigation.
During the investigation, all evidence is treated as confidential and is shared strictly with those directly involved in the process.
If the investigation concludes that misconduct has occurred, it will be classified as either minor or serious.
Minor Violations
Minor violations, which do not compromise the integrity of the article or journal (e.g., misunderstanding or misapplication of publication standards), will be resolved directly between authors and reviewers without involving other parties. These procedures may include:
- Sending a warning letter to the authors and/or reviewers.
- Correcting the article (e.g., adding sources that were properly cited in the text but excluded from the reference list).
- Publishing a list of errors (e.g., if an error was made by the editorial staff).
Serious Violations
For serious violations, the Editorial Board may take the following actions:
- Publishing an official notice or editorial describing the misconduct.
- Formally notifying the affiliated institution of the author or reviewer.
- Officially retracting the publication in accordance with the Retraction Policy.
- Banning the individual from submitting materials for a specified period.
The above measures may be applied individually or in combination. If necessary, consultations with relevant expert organizations, authorities, or individuals may be conducted during the resolution process.
In addressing unethical behavior, the Editorial Board will rely on the principles and guidelines provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
