“…К гипотетически невозможным относится, например, ситуация отказа всех рецензентов от сотрудничества с журналом. По данным работы [8] можно выявить время подбора рецензента и промоделировать полное время обновления редакционной коллегии. Аналогично можно моделировать процесс отзыва всеми авторами статей из журнала.…”

An analysis of the risks confronted by the editorial staff of the scientific Journal of Almaz– Antey Air and Space Defence Corporation was made. It is shown that one of the risks brought the journal into a state of stress test and significant increase in input parameters, which affected the work of the editorial board. The article provides data on reducing the negative impact of a stress test and presents the results of simulation modeling of the impact of a stress test on the editorial board of a scientific journal. These input parameters were the flow of articles to the journal, which exceeded the average values of the process reviewing for a short period of time by ten times. To eliminate the impact of stress testing on the work of the editorial board of the scientific journal, measures were taken to neutralize it in the form of an increase in the number of reviewers and early initiation of articles. In addition to the results on reducing the impact of stress testing, a simulation of an impossible flow of articles that exceeds the average by a hundred times was performed, and the time indicators of its processing are given. The model is based on the Monte Carlo method under the assumption that each reviewer has an average processing time of the article received by him, as well as the law of distribution of this time. The results of the correlation analysis of the simulation results and real data on the processing of the received articles are presented, which allow us to talk about the relationship between real and simulated processes.

It is shown that the analysis of editorial and publishing processes helps to estimate the time of passing manuscripts in the editorial office of a scientific journal and to control the contractor when performing technical work on literary editing and layout of articles in the journal. For analytics, the apparatus of probability theory and mathematical statistics is used, as well as time series for predicting the dynamics of incoming articles and predicting the prospects for their publication. Based on the results obtained, it is shown that the study of time indicators of the processes of arrival and acceptance of articles for publication, reviewing, literary editing, layout and distribution and receipt of license agreements allows you to plan the work on the filling of articles in journal issues for the year ahead, monitor the work of reviewers on the examination of articles sent to them and manage the contractor preparing issues for publication, when performing technical work. All the considered analytical methods are available for use by the editors of the scientific journal. To simplify the compilation and work with the proposed analytics tools, we recommend software for working with spreadsheets.

The peer review process is an extremely important and time-consuming step in preparing a manuscript for publication. It often takes longer than all other stages of article processing. Due to the complexity of peer reviewing, it becomes necessary to analyze it and determine the key points that you should pay attention to when planning the work of the editorial office. In this study, the authors used data obtained in the process of work with reviewers of the journals “Vestnik Moskovskogo Universiteta. Seriya 16. Biologiya” and “Moscow University Biological Sciences Bulletin” in 2017–2021, as well as information on articles received by the editorial office in the same period time. The sample of peer reviewers consisted of 319 specialists from various fields of biology and related disciplines. The results of the analysis showed that the average time spent on the primary review was about 11 days, and the average time during which experts respond to the invitation was about 2 days. Reviews received by the editors over five years, on average, contain a little less than 3 000 characters, the volume of reviews does not correlate with the timing of the reviews and their quality. In recent years, the editorial office has managed to reduce the proportion of formal uninformative reviews to 6 %. Both women and men, employees of both universities and research institutes, scientists with candidate and doctoral degrees are equally involved in the work on articles. The important role of reviewers in improving the article and at the same time insufficient encouragement of this important work are emphasized. The results obtained can be useful to the editors of scientific journals when they plan the stages of reviewing articles.
