Author Guidelines are based on CSE’s White Paper on Promotion Integrity in Scientific Journal Publications, 2012 Update and ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, December 2016.

Aim and Scope

Fields of Science: philology and history

KEY QUESTIONS:

Russia and the world in dialogue

• Russian world: language, literature, folklore, history
• History of the abroad through the eyes of russian researchers
• Russian world surrounded by other cultures: comparative studies
• Media communications and journalism: a world without borders
• Theory and methodology of language and literature research as a space for dialogue between different scientific traditions

Mission of Nauchnyi Dialog — organizing a dialogue between national research traditions in the humanitarian branches of science - historical and philological.

Tasks:

1) accumulation of knowledge about Russian culture through studies of language, literature and Russian history as the main markers of identity surrounded by other identities;

2) exchange of interpretations of a foreign cultural text: Russian literature and history as interpreted by foreign colleagues - and foreign literary and historical discourse as interpreted by Russian researchers;

3) presentation of the observations of researchers from different countries of the media development as a factor in globalization;

4) inviting researchers from different countries to present and discuss theories, approaches, methods, techniques for analyzing language, text, discourse, since due to a long period of closed development of national scientific traditions and schools, discrepancies have accumulated in the choice of research problems, interpretations of key terms, methodological preferences.

II. How to submit an article for consideration

The manuscript of the article is submitted to the editorial office through an online form. The uploaded file with the article should be in Microsoft Word format (with extensions *.doc, *.docx, *.rtf).

III. Interaction between the journal and the author

The journal's editorial office engages in correspondence with the responsible (contact) author. However, if desired by the authoring team, emails can be sent to all authors for whom an email address is provided.

All articles submitted to the journal NAUCHNYI DIALOG undergo a preliminary review by the responsible journal secretary to ensure compliance with formal requirements. At this stage, the article may be returned to the author(s) for revision, with a request to address errors or add missing data. Additionally, at this stage, the article may be rejected due to non-alignment with the journal's aims and scope, lack of originality, or low scientific value. A significant number of errors (spelling, punctuation, linguistic) can also be a reason for rejection.

After the preliminary review, the responsible editor forwards the article to a reviewer, specifying the review deadline. The author is notified accordingly.

In contentious cases, the editor may involve multiple experts in the review process, as well as the editor-in-chief.

Upon receiving a positive review, the article is passed on to the editor for preparation for publication.

If a decision is made to revise the article, the reviewer's comments and suggestions are conveyed to the author. The author is given 2 months to address these comments. If the author does not inform the editorial office of their intended actions within this timeframe, the article is removed from the publication queue.

If a decision is made to reject the article for publication, a corresponding message is sent to the author.

The responsible (contact, corresponding) author of an accepted article receives the final version of typesetting, which they are obligated to review. A response is expected from the authors within 1 day. In the absence of a reaction from the author, the typesetting of the article is considered approved.

IV. Procedure for reviewing editor / reviewer decisions

If the author disagrees with the conclusions of the reviewer and/or editor or with specific comments, they may challenge the decision. To do so, the author should:

- Revise the manuscript of the article according to the substantiated comments of the reviewers and editors.

- Clearly state their position on the issue under consideration.

The editor-in-chief evaluates the validity of the reviewer's and author's positions, if necessary discussing the acceptability of revision options with the reviewer or a second expert involved, and makes a final decision that is not subject to further discussion or revision. The editorial office does not engage in debate and suggests that authors submit the article to other publications where it may receive a different evaluation.

Editors facilitate the resubmission of manuscripts that could potentially be accepted but were rejected due to the need for significant changes or additional data collection. They are willing to explain in detail what needs to be corrected in the manuscript for it to be accepted for publication.

V. Actions of the editorial board in case of plagiarism, fabrication or falsification of data

In case of discovering misconduct on the part of the author, such as plagiarism, fabrication or falsification of data, the editorial board follows the guidelines set by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).

The journal NAUCHNYI DIALOG defines “misconduct” as any actions by a scientist that involve improper handling of research objects or intentional manipulation of scientific information, causing it to deviate from observed studies. It also includes behavior by a scientist that does not adhere to accepted ethical and scientific standards.

The journal does not consider honest errors or honest disagreements regarding the planning, implementation, interpretation, or evaluation of research methods or results as "misconduct". Nor does it consider misconduct unrelated to the scientific process.

If plagiarism or self-plagiarism is detected, the article is excluded from the issue at any stage of preparation.

VI. Correction of Errors and Article Retraction

In case errors are found in the text of an article that affect its comprehension but do not distort the reported research results, they may be corrected by replacing the PDF file of the article and indicating the error within the file itself and on the article's webpage on the journal's website.

If errors are found in the text of an article that distort the research results, or in case of plagiarism, misconduct by the author(s) involving falsification and/or fabrication of data, the article may be retracted. The initiative for retracting an article may come from the editorial board, the author, an organization, or an individual.

A retracted article is marked with the label "Article Retracted," and information about the reason for the retraction is provided on the article's webpage. Information about the retraction is sent to databases where the journal is indexed.

Additional information can be received by phone +7(343)3458984 or +7(912)0458984, e-mail editor@nauka-dialog.ru
