Peer Review Process

Editorial Evaluation Timeline

First, all submissions are carefully reviewed by the collection's editors. Articles that do not meet the key requirements are returned to the authors without further review within 3–5 days. Otherwise, manuscripts will be sent to reviewers. The editorial board makes every effort to decide on these works within 3–4 weeks after the date of submission. If an article needs to be revised, the editors will carefully consider the reviewers' comments and, where possible, guide how to address the most important issues. After the reviews are sent, all authors are required to provide detailed responses to the reviewers' questions and make the appropriate corrections to the manuscript text, marking the corrections in a different color in the electronic version of the manuscript. The version of the article corrected by the authors and agreed upon with the reviewers is considered final, after which no changes to the text, figures, or tables are permitted. In case of critical comments, the text of the article must be corrected by the authors in accordance with the recommendations and requirements of the reviewer and returned to the editorial board of the collection within 2 months. If the manuscript is returned after more than 2 months, the work will be considered as a new submission.

When approving an issue, the editorial board is guided by the date of receipt of the final version of the article. If the article is rejected by the reviewers, the editorial board sends a written notification and the reviews to the author. Accepted articles will be published within 3 months after acceptance; the online version appears earlier than the printed one. Any significant changes made after acceptance of manuscripts are subject to review and may delay publication.

Presubmission Inquiries

If authors wish to receive information from the editorial board regarding whether their submission meets the key requirements of the collection of scientific papers, Електроніка та інформаційні технології/Electronics and information technologies, they may send a preliminary request. It should include an abstract and a brief description of the results, as well as an explanation of the significance of the research for the broad readership of the collection of scientific papers, Електроніка та інформаційні технології/Electronics and information technologies. The request should be sent to elit@lnu.edu.ua. We will try to respond within 2–5 days.

Submission status inquiries
You can send an email to elit@lnu.edu.ua with specific questions about status updates during the editorial process.

Review process

The collection of scientific papers Електроніка та інформаційні технології /Electronics and Information Technologies provides a double-blind peer review process.

The manuscript is reviewed by two independent experts in the relevant field selected by the editor. If two positive reviews are received, the article is accepted for publication. Authors have the right to appeal the reviewer's decision. In this case, the article will be sent to an independent reviewer or a member of the editorial board for evaluation. The final decision on the appeal rests with the editorial board. The editorial board informs the authors of its decision no later than two months after submission. After receiving the reviewers' comments, authors have 14 days to revise the article. The revised article, along with a detailed response to the reviewer's comments and explanations of any changes made to the article, must be returned to the editorial board. The revised article, approved and signed by the reviewers and the scientific editor, is considered the final version. After that, no changes to the text, figures, or tables are allowed. If the manuscript is returned later than 2 months, the work will be considered a new submission. In case of a negative review, the editorial board sends a written notification and reviewers' comments to the corresponding author.

Authors may suggest the names of two potential independent reviewers for their work, as well as the names of reviewers with conflicting interests. The editorial board is sympathetic to such requests but reserves the right to independently appoint reviewers who are capable of analyzing the work most professionally.

The collection guarantees confidentiality at all stages of submission, review, and preparation for publication.

 Reviewing procedure:

1. The submitted manuscript is registered by the editors on the date of receipt of the electronic version by e-mail.
2. The scientific editors decide who will be assigned to review the manuscript in accordance with the field of study.
3. The manuscript is sent to the assigned reviewers.
4. After receiving the reviews of the reviewers, the editors send them to the authors. If two positive reviews are received, the article is accepted for publication. If changes need to be made, the authors will revise the article, taking into account all the comments and recommendations of the reviewers.
5. Then the revised version of the article goes to the second stage of peer review.
6. If the reviewers' assessment is positive, the article is approved by the scientific editor and then reviewed and approved by the editorial board.
7. The manuscript approved by the editorial board is sent for preparation for publication.

 Grounds for refusal to publish:

  • authors provide incomplete responses to reviewers, include inaccurate data or incorrect conclusions in the text of the article, or incorrectly compile the list of references;

  • Authors submit previously published work for publication; in such cases, no objections will be considered.

 

Publication Frequency

 Quarterly*

*In some cases, one joint issue of the journal may be published at the end of the year. In that case, the articles will appear for the preview on the journal’s website as soon as they have been accepted by the editorial board.

Ethical standards

The editorial board of the collection of scientific works, Електроніка та інформаційні технології/Electronics and information technologies, adheres to ethical standards of publications for all participants: author, journal editor, reviewer, publisher, publicly owned or funded, following the Regulations on the ethics of scientific publications (Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) [http://publicationethics.org/], White Paper on Publication Ethics [http://www.councilscienceeditors.org/wp-content/uploads /entire_whitepaper.pdf]). Elsevier Publishing Ethics (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/publishing-ethics). Ukrainian authors should also adhere to the "Ethical Code of the Ukrainian Scientist" (URL: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/rada/show/v0002550-09#Text).


Anti-plagiarism policy
For all manuscripts submitted for review, the level of uniqueness of the author's text is determined using appropriate software that analyzes the level of uniqueness of the article, the use of information sources, and partial coincidence of the text with other works (StrikePlagiarism,  Google images).
If plagiarism is detected, the article is rejected without consideration for publication in the collection.

Declaration of publication ethics

1.  Publication and authorship*:
- a list of references and information about funding should be provided;
- Plagiarism and fraud are unacceptable.


* Instructions on permissions. Reproduction of any text, tables, or figures from previously published works requires written permission from the copyright holder. The permission must be submitted with the manuscript, and the publication from which the material is taken must be indicated in the list of references.


Copyright. The collection of scientific works, Електроніка та інформаційні технології/Electronics and information technologies, adheres to the policy of open access to published content in accordance with the principle of free dissemination of scientific information and global exchange of knowledge for the common civil progress (http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org and Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License). Once a manuscript is accepted, no article containing the same information may be published elsewhere. If part of the material has appeared or will appear in another publication, authors should indicate the details in the comments to their submission. Simultaneous submission of the same manuscript to different journals is unacceptable. Authors must indicate the name of the funding organization in the accepted version of the manuscript and provide information about all financial support and any other personal relationships.


Conflict of interest. All authors of the submitted manuscript must recognize and disclose any existing or potential conflict of interest that may cause bias in their work.


Misconduct of a researcher.  Misconduct in research, including falsification or falsification of data, plagiarism, and unethical treatment of research subjects, should be avoided; a declaration should be submitted with the manuscript. "Misconduct in research" means any actions that involve the deliberate manipulation of scientific records, which leads to the misrepresentation of facts and data, or the mishandling of research subjects. If the Editorial Board suspects misconduct by authors or reviewers, both in relation to published and unpublished articles, it may request the employers of authors or reviewers or other relevant authorities to investigate the case, or conduct an investigation itself. The Editorial Board will make every effort to resolve the problem in an acceptable manner.


2. Obligations of the authors*:
- Authors are obliged to participate in the review process.
- all authors must make a significant contribution to the research;
- It is necessary to confirm that all data in the manuscript are true and reliable;

- reviewers' judgments should be objective;
- reviewers should not have a conflict of interest in relation to the study, its authors, and/or those who fund the study;
- reviewers should point to published works that should be cited;
- The process of reviewing the article should be confidential.


*Relationships with reviewers

  • The review should be conducted objectively.
  •  Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable.
  • reviewers should clearly express their point of view, citing arguments and references as necessary, avoiding humiliation or discrediting the authors;
  • Reviewers should declare any conflict of interest.
  • reviewers should refuse to review manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest resulting from competitive, joint, or other relationships or connections with any authors, companies, or institutions related to the article;
  • Reviewers should respect the confidentiality of the materials provided to them and not discuss unpublished manuscripts with colleagues or use the information in their own work.
  • If the reviewer wants to transfer the review of the manuscript to a colleague, he/she must first obtain the permission of the editor.


We ask reviewers to pay attention to the ethical aspects of the submission, such as:

  • - Has the author previously published the results of this study?
  • - Is there any plagiarism from another publication?
  • - Is the research ethical, and has the appropriate permission/consent been obtained?
  • - Are there any signs that the data have been fabricated or manipulated inappropriately by the authors?
  • - Have the authors declared all conflicts of interest
4. Obligations of the Editorial Board*:

  • - all authors must sign the Author's Declaration;
  • - all authors should be involved in communication with the editorial board (e.g., acknowledgment of receipt of the submission), not just the corresponding author;
  • - authorship should be clearly indicated (CRediT taxonomy);
  • - for randomized controlled trials, the registration number and name of the registry should be indicated;
  • - The protocol of approval of animal experiments must be provided.


5. Issues of publishing ethics*:
- The editorial board is responsible for ensuring publishing ethics.
- Guidelines for retracting articles are given below;
- academic integrity must be maintained;
- compromises between intellectual and ethical standards and business needs should be avoided;
- if necessary, corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies may be published;
- Plagiarism and data fabrication are unacceptable.


* The institutions where the authors of publications work should:
- inform journals about cases of proven misconduct that affect the reliability or authorship of their published work;
- respond to requests from journals regarding issues such as disputed authorship, false reports, conflicts of interest, or other factors, including unintentional errors, that may affect the reliability of the published work;
- initiate an investigation in cases where the journal makes allegations of researcher misconduct or unacceptable publication practices;
- Adhere to a policy that promotes responsible attitudes to research and has a developed procedure for investigating suspected researcher misconduct.


The collection of scientific works should:
- publish contact details of the editor-in-chief, who should act as a contact person for issues related to research and publishing integrity;
- inform institutions in case of suspicion of dishonesty of their researchers and provide evidence to support these suspicions;
- cooperate with investigations and respond to requests from institutions regarding allegations of research misconduct;
- be prepared to publish retractions or corrections (in accordance with COPE guidelines on retractions) if researcher misconduct is confirmed as a result of investigations;
- have developed mechanisms for interaction with institutions that investigate cases of research misconduct.


Cases involving several institutions or journals:
- In collaborative research involving multiple institutions, one institution should be designated to coordinate the research and act as a point of contact if there is no obvious lead institution (e.g., the one administering the grant or employing the researchers). Disputes between institutions over authorship or data ownership may need to be resolved by an independent arbitrator acceptable to all parties.
- Cases of plagiarism, copyright infringement, or multiple publications usually involve multiple journals, which should cooperate and share information as needed (e.g., submission date and copyright transfer agreement) to resolve problems.

Investigations into previous publications:
- Dishonesty in research and publication may not be an isolated incident. In many cases of serious misconduct, a review of the researcher's previous work reveals additional problems. If a researcher is found to have committed serious misconduct (such as data fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism), the institution should review all of the individual's publications, including those published before the misconduct was discovered. In this case, previous employers will be notified of the opportunity to review the work performed by the discredited researcher at their institution to determine the reliability of publications arising from that work.

 

Errata

Corrections and additions to accepted articles

The editors may make clarifications to the text of the article that do not significantly change its structure but improve its content, as well as minor corrections. At the request of the authors, the editors publish refutations and apologies.

- If the new material complements the accepted article, it will be sent for review as a new submission with a link to the original.
- Minor corrections can be published in the Errata & Corrigenda section

 Errata relate to the correction of publishing errors. Authors who have noticed an error should contact the journal's editorial office. The correction will be published in the next issue of the journal. Corresponding changes will be made to the electronic version of the article.

Corrigenda – in the event of significant errors by the authors. Corrections may be initiated by the authors, editors, or readers; they undergo editorial review and are published as separate documents linked to the original article.

In cases of serious violations, the editorial board may decide to retract the article. 

 

Complaints and Appeals Procedure

The Editor-in-Chief makes decisions based on the relevance of the submitted manuscripts to the goals and topics of the journal, similarity, readability, comments of reviewers, and responses from authors. At Електроніка та інформаційні технології/Electronics and Information Technologies, additional efforts are made to provide professional services to authors seeking quality publications. However, a certain number of submissions are immediately rejected due to deficiencies in research planning, inappropriate formulation of scientific hypotheses, a priori statements, and violations of generally accepted standards of research publication ethics. Relevant editorial decisions are not subject to appeal or review. All other appeals can be sent to elit@lnu.edu.ua
Authors of rejected manuscripts may apply for a review of editorial decisions if they disagree with the comments of the editor or reviewers and can justify their point of view by referring to the available evidence and logical considerations. The Editor-in-Chief will discuss the appeal with other responsible editors and may resubmit the rejected manuscript to new reviewers.
If the authors do not agree with the way the Editor-in-Chief handles their requests, they can forward their letters to other responsible editors or members of the Editorial Board.

Consideration of complaints and appeals
The Editor-in-Chief and other responsible editors are guided by the Core Practices of the Committee on Publication Ethics. Authors can be assured that the journal guarantees to provide professional services to authors of appeals, whose justified requests will be considered fairly and confidentially within a short period of time. Prospective authors of Електроніка та інформаційні технології/Electronics and information technologies are advised to carefully read the objectives and topics of this journal and submit manuscripts that meet all quality and ethical standards.

 

Procedure for Handling Complaints Regarding Violations of Academic Integrity and Publication Ethics

The Editorial Board adheres to the principles of academic integrity and international standards of publication ethics, including the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The complaints procedure applies to authors of submitted manuscripts and published articles, reviewers, members of the editorial board, and all other individuals involved in the publication process.

Complaints may be submitted by authors, reviewers, readers, institutional representatives, or any other interested parties. They must be clear, well-founded, and supported by sufficient facts or evidence of potential misconduct (including, but not limited to, plagiarism, data fabrication or falsification, inappropriate authorship, duplicate submission, conflicts of interest, or irregularities in the peer review process). Complaints must be submitted in written (electronic) form and should include information about the complainant, a description of the alleged violation, details of the relevant manuscript or publication, and any supporting materials.

Complaints submitted in an abusive, threatening, or defamatory manner will not be considered. In cases that fall outside the journal’s компетенції, the complainant will receive a reasoned explanation.

Upon receipt of a complaint, the Editorial Office conducts a preliminary assessment. If sufficient grounds for further consideration are identified, the Editor-in-Chief appoints an ad hoc committee composed of editorial board members and/or independent experts, ensuring impartiality and the absence of conflicts of interest. The committee may request explanations and documentation from all involved parties, engage external specialists, and use verification tools (including plagiarism detection software) and other analytical methods.

The individual against whom the complaint is filed has the right to be informed of its content, to provide written explanations and additional materials, and to appeal the decision in accordance with established procedures. The complainant, in turn, has the right to be informed about the progress of the review and to submit additional evidence.

The final decision is made by the Editorial Board or the Editor-in-Chief based on the collected materials. Depending on the nature of the violation, the following measures may be applied: publication of corrections or retractions, rejection of the manuscript, temporary restriction of submission rights, or other appropriate actions.

In cases of serious misconduct, materials may be forwarded to relevant institutions or competent authorities. All decisions are documented, the parties are informed of the outcomes, and confidentiality and personal data protection are ensured.

Complaints should be submitted to the Editorial Office via email at elit@lnu.edu.ua and are generally considered within 30 working days, with the possibility of extension depending on the complexity of the case.

All decisions are documented in writing, and the parties are duly informed of the results.

 

Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Editorial Process

1. General Provisions

The Editorial Board acknowledges the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including generative AI systems, in scientific research. The use of such tools is permitted provided that the principles of academic integrity, transparency, and author responsibility are strictly observed.

AI cannot be considered an author or co-author of a scientific work.

2. Use of AI by Authors

Authors may use AI tools for:

  • improving the language quality of the manuscript;
  • editing style and structure;
  • assisting in data or code analysis.

However:

  • authors bear full responsibility for the content of the work;
  • the use of AI must not lead to fabrication of data, results, or references;
  • authors are required to verify the accuracy of all statements generated with the assistance of AI.

3. Mandatory Disclosure

If AI tools are used, authors must:

  • clearly disclose this in the Acknowledgements section or in a separate statement;
  • specify which tools were used and for what purpose.

Example:
“The authors used [tool name] for language editing of the manuscript. All scientific conclusions were verified and confirmed by the authors.”

4. Limitations on AI Use

The following practices are prohibited:

  • using AI to generate scientific results without experimental or theoretical validation;
  • creating or substituting references to non-existent sources;
  • using AI to automatically generate substantial parts of a manuscript without proper verification and editing;
  • presenting AI-generated text as an original scientific contribution without disclosure.

5. Use of AI by Reviewers and Editors

Reviewers and editors may use AI only as a supporting tool (e.g., for language analysis), provided that:

  • the confidentiality of the manuscript is strictly maintained;
  • the full text of the manuscript is not uploaded to external AI services without appropriate data protection guarantees;
  • all final decisions are made solely by humans.

6. Monitoring and Responsibility

The Editorial Board reserves the right to:

  • check manuscripts for AI usage;
  • request additional explanations from authors;
  • reject or retract articles in cases of policy violation.

Violation of this policy is considered a breach of academic integrity.

7. Policy Updates

This policy may be revised and updated in accordance with the development of AI technologies and international recommendations in the field of scholarly publishing.

 

Retraction of publications

Journal editors will consider retracting a publication if:
- they have clear evidence that the conclusions are unreliable, either due to dishonesty (e.g., data fabrication) or unintentional error (e.g., miscalculation or experimental error);
- the research materials have been previously published elsewhere without appropriate references, permission, or justification (i.e. cases of multiple publications);
- the article contains plagiarism;
- the article is based on a study that contradicts ethical standards;
- there is a suspicion of dishonesty of the authors in the research or publication;
- there is evidence that the results are unreliable, but the authors' institution will not investigate the case;
- there is reason to believe that the investigation of possible misconduct related to the publication either did not take place or was not fair, impartial, or complete;
- The investigation is ongoing, but a decision will not be made for a long time.
- a small part of a credible publication is misleading (especially due to an unintentional error);
- The list of authors is incorrect (for example, an author is omitted or someone who does not meet the criteria for authorship is included).

 

 Purpose of retraction:

- Retractions are a mechanism for correcting the literature and alerting readers to publications that contain such serious flaws or erroneous data that their results and conclusions cannot be relied upon. Unreliable data can result from unintentional error or researcher dishonesty.
Retractions are used to alert readers to cases of multiple publications (i.e., when authors present the same data in multiple publications), plagiarism, and failure to disclose a serious conflict of interest that may affect interpretation or recommendations.
The main purpose of retractions is to correct the literature and ensure integrity, not to punish authors.
- The reasons and grounds for retraction should be stated; cases of misconduct should be separated from unintentional error; it should be indicated who is retracting the article. This information should be published in all versions of the journal (printed and/or electronic).
- Retracted articles will not be removed from either printed copies of the journal (e.g., libraries) or electronic archives, but their retraction status will be indicated as clearly as possible.
