Journal Guide

Russian Journal of Communication (RJC) is an international peer-reviewed academic publication devoted to studies of communication in, with, and about Russia and Russian-speaking communities around the world. RJC welcomes both humanistic and social scientific scholarly approaches to communication, which is broadly construed to include mediated information as well as face-to-face interactions. RJC seeks papers and book reviews on topics including philosophy of communication, traditional and new media, film, literature, rhetoric, journalism, information-communication technologies, cultural practices, organizational and group dynamics, interpersonal communication, communication in instructional contexts, advertising, public relations, political campaigns, legal proceedings, environmental and health matters, and communication policy. RJC is open to all methodological perspectives and welcomes theoretical, empirical, critical, comparative, historical, and interdisciplinary studies.

RJC follows a double-blind peer review process to maintain its high standard of scholarship.  All research materials published in RJC have undergone rigorous evaluation, based on initial editor screening and review by at least two anonymous referees. The turn-around review time is up to a maximum of three months. RJC will be published in three online issues per year. A print and bound copy of the volume will also be published annually.

RJC regularly includes a section entitled 'What? When? Where?', which lists up-to-date information about conferences and events of interest to the readers of RJC .

Russian Journal of Coordination Chemistry (Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya) was founded in 1975 and is now one of the most prominent chemical journals in Russia. It presents reviews, original papers, and communications on all aspects of theoretical and experimental coordination chemistry. Modern coordination chemistry occupies a special interdisciplinary position in the chemical sciences, being at the junction of various fields and serving as a bridge between the inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, and biological branches of chemistry. The Russian school of coordination chemistry, which began as a creative friendship between A. Werner and L. Chugaev, has developed strong ties with leading western chemical schools. Russian chemists have contributed a great deal to the formation and growth of this field of chemistry and still play a leading role in the world chemical science. The materials published in the Russian Journal of Coordination Chemistry are meant not only for specialists in various fields of pure che

The Russian Journal of Developmental Biology was founded in 1970 by the outstanding Russian biologist Boris L. Astaurov. The journal has made an important contribution to the development of embryology in the former Soviet Union. The journal publishes reviews and experimental papers by Russian and foreign authors dealing with various aspects of developmental biology. It presents fundamental and applied research on development, regeneration, and carcinogenesis at the molecular, cellular, and organismic levels. It also publishes papers on events in science and the history of developmental biology in Russia.

The Russian Journal of Ecology (Ekologiya) publishes complete original studies in all branches of theoretical and experimental ecology, reviews and papers on topics currently in debate, information about new methods of investigation, book reviews, and chronicles.

Russian Journal of Electrochemistry (Elektrokhimiya) was founded in 1965 by Academician A.N. Frumkin, an outstanding physical chemist. The journal covers all aspects of research in modern electrochemistry.

The Russian Journal of General Chemistry (Zhurnal obshchei khimii) is a major journal in the field of scientific chemistry, with a unique pedigree: it is the successor to Russia's first chemical journal, Zhurnal Russkogo Khimicheskogo Obshchestva (The Journal of the Russian Chemical Society), founded in 1869. Today, the journal focuses on new achievements and long-term results in many related disciplines in chemistry, including organometallics, organometalloids, organo-inorganic complexes, mechanochemistry, nanochemistry, and more. The journal publishes reviews, current scientific papers, letters to the editor, discussion papers, book reviews, announcements and reports on scientific conferences. The journal benefits researchers at scientific and research institutes, academics, researchers and students at universities, and specialists in many branches of the chemical industry.

Russian Journal of Genetics (Genetika) was founded in 1965, soon after the end of Lysenko’s era, a time during which genetics was considered a false, reactionary science. Since its inception, the journal has made a significant contribution to the revival of genetics in the former Soviet Union. The journal publishes reviews and experimental papers in the areas of theoretical and applied genetics. It presents fundamental research on genetic processes at the molecular, cell, organism, and population levels. Special attention is paid to the most topical areas in modern genetics dealing with global concerns: the conservation and rational management of genetic resources and the evaluation, prediction, and prevention of the negative effects of environmental pollution. The journal also publishes papers dedicated to events in Russian science and the history of genetics.

Russian Journal of Genetics: Applied Research contains translations of papers selected from two leading Russian journals - Vavilovskii Zhurnal Genetiki I Selektsii (Vavilov Journal of Genetics and Breeding) and Ekologicheskaya genetika (Ecological Genetics). The main topics of the journal are: cell biology, cytogenetics, molecular biology, developmental genetics: plant, animal and human genetics: population and evolutionary genetics: microbial, plant and animal biotechnology: bioinformatics and systems biology.The journal also considers all aspects of ecological genetics including behavioral genetics, human ecological genetics, environmental and genetic toxicology, emerging diseases, mutagenesis and carcinogenesis, simbiogenetics, aging, genetic models in ecology

Russian Journal of Inorganic Chemistry (Zhurnal Neorganicheskoi Khimii) is a monthly periodical established in 1956. It covers the following topics of research: the synthesis and properties of inorganic compounds, coordination compounds, high-temperature semiconductors, physicochemical analysis of inorganic systems, theoretical inorganic chemistry, physical methods of investigation, and physical chemistry of solutions. Topical surveys, book reviews, and conference reports appear systematically. All relevant submissions are accepted. Articles are generally published 10 to 12 months after submission.
