If necessary, proposals for revising, supplementing or changing the text of the publication.
The reviewer can make the following recommendations for the publication of the article:

“The article can be recommended for publication”, if the manuscript does not contain errors, meets the requirements of the relevance and originality of scientific research. In this case, the manuscript is included in the list of intended publications of the journal (“editorial portfolio”).
“An article can be recommended for publication, subject to its revision in accordance with comments of the reviewer.” In this case, the article is sent to the authors for revision, and upon receipt of the revised text, it is reviewed again.
