The analysis of any works, whether it be a book, a dissertation or just an ordinary article written by an author, allows not only to gain new knowledge on those who are interested in problems, but also to avoid repetition (i.e. plagiarism) when creating your own works. The most difficult task for the editor is to review essays submitted to the editorial board of scientific journals by young scientists and applicants.

First, pay attention to the relevance of the topic, based on the theoretical and practical significance of the goal, objectives, scientific novelty. Remember that one of the main requirements for the article title is its specificity. The voluminous, cumbersome title makes it difficult to deeply study the problem, and prevents the exact readership from being determined.

The analysis of the truth and reliability of the data should be based on the objectivity of the selection of material, the representativeness of the facts, and their reflection in the protocols of their own observations. The truth of the information obtained during the study is the basis for scientifically based conclusions. The editor needs to find out how the author registers events; Does he evaluate them in dynamics, does he study them in interaction with other phenomena, is there dogmatism and subjectivity, as well as a creative approach to the essence of the phenomenon.

Carefully read the main text of the article, focusing on the presentation of scientific theory. At the beginning of the articles, it is customary to give a few logical statements about the facts, and then, in the course of reasoning, to formulate new arguments, based on the totality of the results of author's observations and experiments. At the same time, a certain merger of the previously accumulated layer of scientific information and private conclusions, empirically proven, should be traced.

Determine whether the application is appropriate in the context of citations, as well as the optimality of the number of citations used by the author. Check the semantic accuracy of the quoted material. Verify the information obtained with the list of references indicated at the end of the article. If the creation contains the results of statistical calculations, evaluate their reliability. At the end, analyze the resume text. A summary of the article should be presented in Russian and English. It succinctly reflects the ideological line of scientific work as a whole.
