Requirements for design and procedure for submitting a publication for publication

Peer-reviewed articles on the history, theory, methodology of music education and art pedagogy are published in the collection.

The printed periodical professional scientific publication is issued twice a year with consecutive numbering. Published since 2004. The title was changed in 2023.

The publication policy implies high standards of scientific competence. The editorial board strives to prevent any unfair practice (for example, plagiarism, misrepresentation of information, fraudulent use of data). Every participant in the publishing process (authors, editors, reviewers) undertakes to follow strict ethical standards, relying on the generalized experience of the international academic community.

We support the Code of Conduct of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The editorial board relies on the standards of the "ELSEVIER publishing ethics resource kit". Peer review of manuscripts is carried out through double-blind review.
