For Reviewers
Principles of article reviews in the journal “Belarusian Language as Foreign”
1. Texts submitted for publication are subject to initial verification in terms of their compliance with the journal’s profile
and compliance with the editorial requirements adopted by the Editorial Board.
2. The texts meeting the criteria mentioned in point 1, after initial approval by the Editorial Board, are sent to two reviewers
from outside the university (research institution)where the Author is employed.
Opinions are prepared by specialists in the field of the submitted work.
3. The identity of the author of the reviewed text is not disclosed to the reviewers. The names of the reviewers
who give their opinion on a specific text are also not disclosed.
4. If the reviewer knows the author’s identity, the reviewer is required to declare that there is no conflict of interest.
A similar declaration is also signed by the reviewer if the reviewer and the Author are employed by the same unit.
5. Reviews are made in written form. Additional (other) comments are made in Polish, English or Belarusian. Each review clearly contains
the reviewer’s statement that the text has been approved for printing or that it has been rejected.
6. Articles with two positive reviews are approved for publication.
7. Once a year, a collective list of reviewers is published in the paper edition of the journal or on its website.
