The mission of the journal
The scientific-theoretical journal “Neophilology” is one of the world’s few periodicals designed to discuss theoretical and practical problems in the field of modern humanities. The distinctive feature of the journal “Neophilology” is its diverse subject matter of articles aimed at the discussion of relevant problems in the field of traditional and cognitive linguistics, text and discourse theory, society’s speech activity, intercultural communication, Internet discourse and linguistic personality, which represents the “snapshot” of the development of the humanitarian paradigm of the XXI century – a view on language, cognition, culture, and spheres of social life as the basic gestalt of the image of modern neophilological thought. In its publishing part, the journal’s concept is based on the Russian language, which is substantiated by the role of the Russian language in cooperation and mutual understanding during exploration and appropriation of human culture on international and global levels. The Russian language strengthens the Russian state, and at the same time it is an integral and most important part of national culture that reflects the history of Russian people and their spiritual quest.
Aim and Scope
The aim of the journal is to broadly cover new directions of the development of philological science, including those of an interdisciplinary nature, new scientific accomplishments of the humanities direction in the modern multipolar world; to assist the preservation and development of the Russian language in domestic and foreign media and on the Internet.
The essential scope of the journal is not only to disseminate the results of scientific research in the area of modern humanitarian knowledge but also to create a platform for scientific dialogue and debates that take place around language and cognition, linguistic worldview and the dynamics of its fragments, as well as the development of interest of Russian and foreign scientists to these problems in connection with the practice of applying the results of research in understanding the problems of the relationship between the verbal and non-verbal in language and cognition.

Peer-Review Policy
Peer-review policy for articles
submitted for publication in the journal “Neophilology”
discussed, amended and approved at the Editorial Board meeting
on Mar. 6, 2025
The Editorial Board of the “Neophilology” journal adheres to COPE guidelines when dealing with manuscripts, reviewers and organizing the review process. Peer review contributes to the improvement of the quality of published materials, as it determines the significance and originality of the presented articles.
TYPE OF PEER-REVIEW
All manuscripts submitted to the Editorial Board of “Neophilology”, undergo a mandatory double blind peer review. This means that neither the author nor the reviewer knows each other’s names and places of work, and all correspondence is conducted through the editorial staff of “Neophilology”.
PEER-REVIEW PERIOD
The review process in the journal “Neophilology” takes on average from 1 to 4 months (up to 120 days). In this period the Editorial Office of the journal includes the time for initial consideration of the manuscript, selection of reviewers, time for preparation of the review, time for revision of the article by the author and repeated review, involvement of additional experts.
PEER-REVIEW PROCESS
The decision to select a reviewer for the journal “Neophilology” is made by the Editor-in-Chief and members of the Editorial Board.
Each article is sent to at least two reviewers. If different opinions about the manuscript are received, a third expert can be involved.
The Editor of the journal “Neophilology” can give the author one of the following decisions regarding the manuscript:
Accept for publication. In this case, the manuscript will be included in one of the regular issues of the journal and will be submitted to the editor for further work. The author will be notified of the publication deadline.
Accept for publication after correction of flaws noted by the reviewer. In this case, the author will be asked to make changes to the manuscript within a week. If the flaws are eliminated or if there is a justified refusal to make changes, the manuscript will be accepted for publication.
Accept for publication after correction of flaws noted by the reviewer and after repeated review. In this case, the author will be asked to make the changes within two weeks. The manuscript will be sent for a second review. Within 30 days the author will receive a final decision on the fate of the manuscript.
Reject. In this case, a motivated refusal to publish the manuscript will be sent to the author. Denial of publication does not prohibit authors to send manuscripts to the journal “Neophilology”, in the future, but if publication is denied due to gross violations on the part of the author, the Editor-in-Chief may decide to blacklist the author. In this case, other articles by this author will not be considered.
The percentage of rejected manuscripts is 70%.
The Editorial Board of the journal “Neophilology” considers three rounds of reviewing, which means that after the first decision to revise the article, the author has two attempts to make changes based on the reviewer’s recommendation or motivate a refusal. If after the third round of review the reviewer sends notes again, the Editor-in-Chief will suggest the author to consider the possibility of publication in another journal or resubmit the article for review with the changes made in six months.
If the author does not plan to finalize the article, they should notify the journal’s editorial office. Work on the article will be terminated.
If the author has a conflict of interest with an expert who could potentially become a reviewer of the manuscript, they should notify the Editor-in-Chief of the journal. The Editorial Board of the journal “Neophilology” will find another reviewer if necessary.
In the process of reviewing the manuscript, a conflict may arise between the author and the reviewer. In this case, the Editor-in-Chief of the journal “Neophilology” has the right to appoint a new reviewer for the manuscript.
The journal “Neophilology” may publish articles by the Editor-in-Chief, their Deputy, and members of the Editorial Board, but there should be no abuse of power. Manuscripts of the journal employees are sent for double-blind review only to external experts. Only external experts are involved to resolve contradictions and conflict situations. In case of a conflict regarding the fate of the Editor-in-Chief’s manuscript, the final decision on the possibility of publishing the article is made by the members of the Editorial Board.
When publishing articles by members of the Editorial Board, Editor-in-Chief and their Deputy, information about the authors’ affiliation with the journal is indicated in the “Conflict of Interest” section.
The journal “Neophilology” does not exempt scientists from peer-review regardless of their status.
Copies of reviews are kept in the editorial office of the journal “Neophilology” for at least 5 years.
The Editorial Board undertakes to send copies of reviews to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and to the expert councils of the Higher Attestation Commission upon receiving a corresponding request.
REVIEWERS PANEL
All incoming manuscripts are reviewed by external experts who have experience in the relevant subject area and publications on the topic of the manuscript within the last 3 years. Reviewers can work both in Russia and abroad. Co-authors cannot act as reviewers. Reviewers cannot be the scientific advisors of the degree appicant or employees of the department where the author works.
If the topic of the article is very narrow and/or the author declares a potential conflict of interest when reviewed by external experts, members of the editorial board may be involved in the review.
Principles of selecting reviewers and steps taken by the journal Editorial Board to ensure high quality of expertise
The Editorial Board of the journal “Neophilology” conducts regular work on attracting recognized experts in the corresponding subject area to work on the journal, as well as on the timely rotation of reviewers.
Reviewers are invited to work with the journal on the recommendation of the Editor-in-Chief, scientific editor, members of the Editorial Board, as well as the authors.

- Were the reviewer’s comments constructive?
- Did the reviewer present arguments using examples from the article to support his/her comments?
- Did the reviewer comment on the author's interpretation of the results?
- Quality of the review as a whole.
Each of the items can be assigned from 1 up to 5 points, where 1 is the minimum score and 5 is the maximum score.

Does the study design, scientific methods, structure and content, and depth of analysis meet all the necessary requirements, does it not deviate from the principles of unbiased scientific research, and are the results of the study replicable?
Novelty
Did the research bring something new to the relevant subject area?
Ethicality
Does the research meet the requirements of originality? No matter how great the perceived significance of a manuscript is, it cannot be accepted for publication in case of redundancy, presence of plagiarism, or violation of the basic ethical principles of scientific research: legality, usefulness, and respect for human beings.
Evaluation of manuscript elements
The Editorial Board of the journal “Neophilology” suggests using the following questions to speed up the process of preparing an expert opinion and presenting the most complete information about the article to the editor and the author.
Title

Methods
Would another researcher be able to replicate the results of the study using the proposed methods, or are the methods unclear?
Do the authors justify their choices when describing the study methods?
How is the research design presented?
How does the data analysis help in accomplishing the purpose of the study?
Results
Are the results clearly explained? Does the order in which the results are presented match the order in which the methods are described? Are the results justified and expected or unexpected? Are there results that are not preceded by an appropriate description in the “Methods” section? How accurate is the presentation of results?
Discussion
Is the discussion concise? If not, how can it be shortened?
Are the authors’ conclusions consistent with the results obtained in the study? If unexpected results are obtained, do the authors analyze them appropriately? What is the potential contribution of the study to the field and to global science?

If there are tables in the article, do they correctly describe the results? Should one or more tables be added to the article? Is the data presented in tables handled appropriately and make the information easier to understand rather than more complicated?
Figures
Are tables and figures an appropriate choice for the task at hand? Can the results be illustrated in other ways? Do figures and graphs reliably show important results? Do the figures and graphs need to be modified to present the results more accurately and clearly? Do the captions of figures and graphs allow the information to be understood without referring to the manuscript itself?
Conflict of interest disclosure

CONDITIONS FOR ACCEPTING OR REJECTING A MANUSCRIPT
The Editorial Board of “Neophilology” suggests using the following rationale for the reviewer’s final decision.
Accept the article for publication
The reviewer realizes that the article is ready for publication in the current submission. The article is justified, ethical, significant for the scientific community and complements already published works, the writing style is clear and concise.
Accept after minor revision
There are non-critical remarks to the article that need to be corrected. These may be poor style of the article, lack of clarity of presentation, insufficiently elaborated structure of the article, errors in references, duplication of information in figures and tables and in the text of the article. After making changes and re-evaluation, the article can be accepted for publication.
Accept after significant revision and review of the article
The article has serious flaws and errors affecting the reliability of the results obtained: problems with ethics, research design, gaps in the description of research methods, poorly presented results or their incorrect interpretation, insufficiently complete description of the limitations of the study, contradictory (or refuted by the author’s own statements) conclusions, lack of references to important studies, unclear tables and figures that require serious revision. After re-evaluation, the article may be accepted, rejected, or sent for additional review. Such a decision often requires the collection of additional data from the author.
Reject
The paper does not meet the goals and objectives of the journal, has one or more unrecoverable flaws or serious ethical problems. The reviewer should give detailed comments, arguing their decision, as they can help the author to significantly improve the work.
Reject and offer the author to re-submit the article for reconsideration
The topic or research question posed is interesting, but the author uses incorrect or insufficiently reliable methods, hence the data obtained are not reliable either. This decision is also possible when the paper requires many revisions or when it is not possible to obtain the requested additional information from the author. Authors are encouraged to conduct the study with the recommended changes again and submit new results for consideration.
Review editing
The Editorial Board of the journal “Neophilology” expects reviews to be written in a friendly tone and in accordance with the rules of the Russian language. Personal attacks, insulting the author, and unfair criticism of any aspect of the research, language and style of the manuscript, etc. are prohibited.
The editorial board of the journal “Neophilology” tries to pass the reviews to the authors in their original form, but in some cases it may be necessary to change the text of the review without losing its meaning (for example, when combining the comments of several experts on the same issue or if there are confidential comments in the section of the review, which is intended for the author).
The editorial board of the journal “Neophilology” has the right to send the review for revision to the expert in case of a large number of errors or unacceptable tone of the review.
Accepting the manuscript for publication. The results of the review are discussed by the Editorial Board members before a final decision is made. The presence of a positive review is not a sufficient basis for publishing an article. Based on their recommendations and the reviewers’ judgments, the Editor-in-Chief may accept or reject the article, recommend revisions, or suggest redirecting it to another journal.
The final decision on the acceptance of the article and its publication in one of the journal’s issues is made by the Editor-in-Chief based on the relevance of the topic and other factors.
The editorial office informs the author of the final decision.
At the author’s request, the editorial office provides a standard certificate of acceptance of the article for publication and its placement in one of the journal's issues.
