Solar-Terrestrial Physics publishes original research, theoretical papers, and review articles that match the scope of the Journal and have not been published before. If some elements of the manuscript have been previously published, authors must refer to the previous publication(s) in the manuscript itself so the reader can understand the novelty of new study in relation to the previous articles. Verbatim copying of his/her own works and their paraphrasing are not allowed — authors can use their previously published texts only as a basis for new conclusions. The journal policy allows the consideration of manuscripts not accepted for publication by another journal.

The submitted manuscript should contain no more than 15 000–50 000 words (including spaces). Figures and tables must be embedded within the main text or placed at the end of the manuscript (i.e. after the references). In addition, figures must be uploaded or sent to the email address solater@iszf.irk.ru as separate files. The best option is to give two variants of the manuscript: with inserted figures and tables and without them, with figures provided as a separate file upload. Please submit tables in an editable format, not as images

Recommendations for the Electronic Paper Version

When typing, use standard Windows True Type fonts; namely, Times New Roman, for text; Symbol, for Greek letters; Mathematical, for hand-written and Gothic characters. Standard font size is 12 points.

Do not use languages, except for Russian and English. Do not confuse Cyrillic and Latin letters in a single word.

To highlight paragraphs, use a paragraph indent (standard is 1.25 cm), not several word spaces.

Do not use automatic hyphenation.

Enter key should be pressed only to go to the next paragraph, not to the next line.

Embed tables using MS Word (Insert - Table) or Excel. The tables typed manually (using a large number of spaces, without a cell structure) cannot be accepted.

Typing Guidelines

Period is not used after the article title, authors, addresses, titles and subtitles, table names, units of measurement (s - second, g - grams, min - minute, d - day) certain abbreviations and acronyms (yr - year, IQSY - International Quiet Sun Year, MP - melting point).

Period is used after the footnotes (including in tables), table notes, captions, abstracts, and abbreviation and acronym list (mos. - months, mln. - million). However, it is not put in subscripts (Tsun - solar temperature, Lsun - solar luminosity).

Formulas

Separate mathematical formulas (embedded in a separate line) should be entirely typed in Math Type. The formulas typed in parts as a table, text, and inserted frame are not allowed.

For the formulas typed in Math Type, use common fonts, character sizes and placement. It is not allowed to manually change the individual characters or elements of formulas.

Abbreviations and Acronyms

Certain abbreviations of multiple words are separated by spaces (760 mm Hg), except for the most commonly used (i.e.).

Use the following geographical abbreviations and acronyms: N (north latitude), E (east longitude); SW (southwest).

Abbreviations or formulas of chemical compounds that are used as adjectives are not usually hyphenated: IR spectroscopy, ULF waves, PE film, LCD state, Na+ form, OH group.

Units of Measurement

The units of measurement are separated from the figures by a space (100 kPa, 77 K, 10.34 A). Exceptions are degrees (90°, 20°C), percent and permille: 50%, 10‰. Fractional units of measurement are spelled in different ways: 58 J·mol−1, 50 m/s2.

If complex units of measurement, it is allowed to use negative degrees (J mol-1·K-1) and parentheses {J/(mol·K) or J·(mol·K)-1}, if it helps to read them. The main issue is the consistency of writing the same units of measurement.

In listing, as well as in numerical ranges, units of measurement are indicated only for the latter (18-20 J/mol), except for angular degrees.

The degrees Celsius are typed as follows: 5°C, NOT 5°. Angular degrees should not be omitted: 5°-10°, NOT 5-10°.

Word Spacing

References to figures and tables are typed with spaces (see Fig. 1, Table 2, NOT Fig.1, Table2).

Quotation marks and parentheses are not separated by spaces from the text to be quoted:

(at 300 K), (a); NOT ( at 300 K ) ( a ).

The number and paragraph signs and their number are spaced: (No. 1; § 5.65).

Numbers and letters in titles and complex numbers are typed without spaces: (IVd; 1.3.14a; Fig. 1e).

In geographic coordinates, latitude and longitude are separated by spaces: 56.5° N; 85.0° E, NOT 56.5°N; 85.0°E.

Ethics of publication

The Editorial Board of the Journal Solar-Terrestrial Physics keeps up the ethical standards adopted by the International Scientific Community. In their activities, the editors rely on the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics.

Duties of the Editorial Board

Manuscript Evaluation

All submitted manuscripts must contain new nontrivial scientific results not previously published elsewhere.

The Journal Solar-Terrestrial Physics adopts a double-blind peer review process; peer reviewers make reasoned critical comments on the level and clarity of the presented material, its relevance to the scope of the Journal, originality and veracity of results. Peer reviewers' recommendations form the basis for the final decision on publication of the manuscript.

The Editorial Board is ultimately responsible for the decision on publication.

The Editorial Board takes a decision on publication in accordance with the Journal's policy and the current Copyright Law.

The Editorial Board evaluates manuscripts by focusing solely on their scientific content regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, citizenship, and political opinions of the authors.

A manuscript, if accepted for publication, is published in the Journal; all rights are reserved by the authors.

Confidentiality

The editors, all members of the Editorial Board and Publishing House must ensure that all the information related to submitted manuscripts is kept confidential and may not be legally disclosed to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, and other editorial advisers.

The editors may not legally use the unpublished material contained in the manuscript for their own research without written consent from the author.

Conflict of Interest and Resolution of Ethical Conflicts

If a conflict of interest arises from competitive relations, collaboration, or other relationships and connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions related to the submitted manuscript, the Editor-in-Chief sends the manuscript for consideration to another member of the Editorial Board.

The editors should require all participants to declare existing competing interests. If a conflict of interest comes to light after publication, the Editorial Board must publish corrections.

If an ethics complaint about a submitted manuscript or a published paper is filed, the Editor-in-Chief must take reasonable response measures in cooperation with the Publisher (or society). Each report about unethical behavior is considered, even if it comes years after the publication of the article. If a complaint is supported, corresponding corrections, denials, or apologies are published.

DUTIES OF REVIEWERS

Contribution to Editorial Decision

Expert evaluation assists the editor in making editorial decisions, and cooperation between the editor and an author may help the author to improve his/her manuscript.

Promptness

Any reviewer who feels unqualified to review the manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should contact the Editor-in-Chief so as to excuse himself/herself from the peer review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for peer review should be treated with strict confidentiality. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except when authorized by the Editor-in-Chief.

Standards of Objectivity

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly, with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by authors. Any statements, conclusions, or arguments that have been used previously in other publications should be appropriately cited or quoted. Any similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper should be reported to the Editor-in-Chief.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

Unpublished material contained in submitted manuscripts must not be used by the reviewer for personal research without the express prior written consent from the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through the peer review process must be kept confidential and must not be used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider and evaluate the manuscripts in which they have a personal interest.

DUTIES OF AUTHORS

Reporting Standards

The authors of manuscripts should present an accurate account of the work carried out as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the manuscript. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable

Originality and Plagiarism

The contributors should ensure that they have written entirely original works. If the authors use text or graphic information obtained from works of others, they should appropriately cite or quote it or have the express written consent from the author.

Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication

Authors should guarantee that their works are original. If some elements of the manuscript have been previously published, authors must refer to the previous publication(s) in the manuscript itself and show a significant difference between the new work and the previous one. Verbatim copying of his/her own works and their paraphrasing are not allowed — authors can use their previously published texts only as a basis for new conclusions. The Journal's policy allows the consideration of manuscripts not accepted for publication by another journal or full papers expanding on previously published preliminary results, i.e. abstracts or posters presented at conferences.

Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. The corresponding author should give due acknowledgement to all those who have substantially contributed to the research.

The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are listed in the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

All authors should disclose in their manuscripts any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works

If the author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her published work, he/she should promptly notify the Editor-in-Chief or the Publisher of the Journal and assist them in eliminating or correcting the errors. If the Editor-in-Chief or the Publisher is notified by a third party that a published paper contains significant errors, the author should promptly remove or correct them, or prove correctness of the original paper.

Other conditions of publication

The Editorial Board reserves the right to select according to themes and edit all submitted material. The authors' opinions stated in their papers do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Editorial Board.

Authors are responsible for the content of their papers, their publication, as well as for damage to third parties if it turns out that the papers have violated someone else's rights or generally accepted standards of research ethics (see Publication Ethics Guidelines).

Submitted papers undergo mandatory peer reviews.

If a manuscript is written not in accordance with these rules, it can be returned to the author for revision before peer review.

The paper can be rejected if

the author has refused to revise the paper as per the comments made by the Editorial Board and reviewers;
the author has not responded to reviewers' comments on time;
there are two negative reviews of the paper;
the paper contains over 20% plagiarized text.

The final decision on publication of papers is made by the Editorial Board.

The process of articles reviewing

All manuscripts accepted for publication in the Journal Solar-Terrestrial Physics are reviewed by leading Russian and foreign experts. All reviewers are recognized experts in the subject of the peer-reviewed material and have publications in this field over the past three years. The peer review process is anonymous.

Each manuscript is sent to at least two reviewers. Some reviews can be positive, with comments and/or suggestions, or negative. After being reviewed, some articles may be rejected, sent to the author for revision, or accepted for publication.

A peer review should

evaluate a manuscript and the possibility of its publication in the Journal;
list errors in methodology and instrumentation (if any);
suggest how to revise the manuscript.

If two peer reviews are negative, the manuscript is rejected and the author receives a notification email signed by the Executive Secretary of the Journal.

If a peer review contains comments or requirements for revision, it is sent to the author to eliminate the shortcomings, identified in the manuscript, for a month. If the author does not agree with some comments, he or she should give a reasoned response to them. After receiving the author's response, we send the manuscript for re-review, and a reviewer gives the recommendation on its publication or rejection.

When only one of two peer reviews is negative and the author does not agree with it, the manuscript is sent to the third reviewer. If the author does not agree with the opinion of two peer reviewers and does not make corrections according to constructive comments from peer reviewers in due time, the article is rejected.

If two peer reviews are positive, without any comments, we put the article into the portfolio for further publication. The Executive Secretary of the Editorial Board notifies the author of acceptance of the article for publication.

The Editorial Board makes the final decision on publication of an article and approves the content of an issue.

The peer review and decision-making process takes an average of 30 to 90 days; then articles are published in order of priority. The Editorial Board may decide on unscheduled publication of an article due to its relevance and importance.

Preparation of a manuscript for publication consists in standard proofreading and copyediting. All corrections made to the manuscript are agreed upon with the authors.

Peer reviews are stored in the Publishing House and in the Editorial Board of the Journal for five years; their copies are available on request of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

Article retraction process

Removing an already published article from a journal (retraction) is a mechanism for correcting published information and warning readers that the publication contains serious flaws or erroneous data that cannot be trusted. The retraction is also used to warn readers about duplicate publications (when authors present the same data in several publications), plagiarism, and non-disclosure of conflicts of interest that could affect the interpretation of the data or recommendations on its use.

The data uncertainty and duplication may result from both wrong belief, unintentional error, and deliberate deception.

Grounds for retraction of an already published article

- detection of unattributed borrowing (plagiarism, self-plagiarism);
- duplication of the article in another journal;
- detection of falsification, fabrication (e.g., fabrication of experimental data) or serious errors, which cast doubt on the scientific value of the article;
- incorrect composition of the authors' team (the co-author who is worthy to be included is absent; among co-authors are those who do not meet the criteria for authorship);
- hidden conflict of interest;
- republishing the article without the author's consent;
- other violations of ethical principles of the journal.
If the author/authors find it necessary to retract the paper, they turn to the Editorial Board, explaining the reason for the decision.

Actions taken by the Editorial Board

If the Editorial Board decides to retract an article on the basis of expertise or received information, the editor must inform the author/authors of the article.

The decision to retract an article from publication is taken by the Editorial Board entering it in the minutes. Authors may not agree with the position of the Editorial Board, but this does not negate the editors' right to conduct the procedure. This decision is announced to:
- NEL (elibrary.ru) (when receiving a retraction request, the information about the article and its full text remain on elibrary.ru, but is supplemented by information on retraction. Retracted articles and their references are excluded from RSCI and databases);
- Board for Ethics of Scientific Publications (put information into the single database of retracted articles);
- in some cases, the retraction information is made available to HAC.

Retraction results are reflected in the online journal with the indication in the title of the publication that this article is retracted, by giving reasons for the retraction listed under the abstract and indicating who initiated the retraction.

The retracted publication is not removed from the online journal. It remains on the journal website as part of the corresponding issue. In this case, the online version of the text is overwritten as RETRACTED with date of retraction; the same mark is put in the table of contents of the issue.

The Editorial Board along with the decision to retract the article may decide to set a veto on the acceptance of articles by the author/authors of the retracted paper for a certain period of time or indefinitely.

This document has been prepared on the basis of "Rules for Retraction of an Article from Publication" developed by the Association of Scientific Editors and Publishers.
