The list of VAK journals is updated once a year. This time is enough to evaluate new applications, as well as to double-check the compliance of publications already on the list. Those that violate the conditions are excluded from the list.

Some journals are losing their positions in the list for certain specialties,

However, this does not entail any adverse consequences for the authors. If the article was published in the journal at the time when it was included in the VAK list, it is taken into account during the defense or other portugal telemarketing data procedures. The main thing is that the corresponding mark is present on the first pages of the provided issue of the publication.

Each article must contain keywords and lists of references formatted according to GOST. Taking into account the previous point, it can be assumed that annotations are also a mandatory element.
Periodicity. The Higher Attestation Commission does not specify how often the journal issues should be published. The main thing is that at least two issues in a row are submitted to the agency. It is also desirable that the periodicity be established, not arbitrary.
The Higher Attestation Commission does not include in its list publications that charge postgraduate students for publication. Unfortunately, journals deviate from this rule as soon as they achieve the desired goal. But the Higher Attestation Commission does not ignore this. Sanctions are applied to all violators.
