Journal policies

Peer review

Every submitted article undergoes a check for plagiarism using a system developed in-house. Manuscripts with insufficient original text or improper borrowing are returned to the author without review.

A manuscript that passes the check receives two independent reviews. Peer review is double anonymous: reviewers do not know the authors’ identities, and authors do not know the reviewers’ identities. Reviewers assess relevance, novelty, the soundness of methods and data, the validity of conclusions and compliance with the author guidelines.

After review the editors accept the manuscript, return it for revision or reject it. The decision and the reviewers' comments are sent to the author by email. A revised manuscript is reviewed again.

The publication fee is paid only after acceptance. Rejected manuscripts are never charged.

Publication ethics

The journal publishes only original work that has not been published before and is not under consideration elsewhere. Plagiarism, unreferenced self-plagiarism, falsification and fabrication of data are not acceptable.

Only people who made a substantial contribution to the research are listed as authors. All co-authors must agree to the submission.

If artificial intelligence tools were used in preparing the manuscript (for translation, language editing or data analysis), the authors state this in the article. AI cannot be an author; the authors are responsible for the content.

Authors disclose conflicts of interest and sources of funding. Reviewers and editors keep manuscripts confidential.

If serious errors or misconduct are found after publication, the editors publish a correction or retract the article with a stated reason. Complaints and appeals: info@cajournal.kz.

Open access and copyright

All articles are free to read immediately after publication, with no registration or fees: on cajournal.kz (an HTML page and PDF for every article) and in the Scientific Electronic Library eLIBRARY.ru.

Articles are assigned DOIs, and published articles are deposited in the open repository Zenodo (CERN), which ensures their long-term preservation and availability.

Authors retain copyright and grant the journal the right of first publication and of making the article available on the website and in bibliographic databases.
