Negative types of authors and their manuscripts in Russian academic periodicals for Humanities and Social Sciences

Abstract

The author based on his experience revealed a typology of quasi-professional researchers and their manuscripts, which are submitted in the Russian academic periodicals for Humanities and Social Sciences. Different methods of declining quality in the context of violation of academic ethics are considered, about 30 kinds of them have been identified. Each of these examples complicates the peerreview process (perhaps without the obtaining of final result). This research has some perspectives to be kind of an academic guide for academic periodicals’ management and for its contributors. Thanks to this project, as its author believes, it is possible to reduce the organizational and time costs for evaluating manuscripts submitted in modern academic periodicals for Humanities and Social Sciences, as in Russia as so in some foreign countries.
