Existing ways of organizing the review process require significant time to process reviews. The purpose is to reduce time required for the selection of manuscripts editors by using the system of decision-making for the partial automation of the review process. The presented algorithm of mathematical support for a software decision-making system about the quality of research papers includes: evaluation of manuscripts by experts on the proposed criteria to determine the level of quality and the quality level of the manuscript. The use of software reduces time and labor costs for the editor in the articles selection process. The authors propose to unify the review process through the usage the system of criteria, quality measures and recommendations for their evaluation. It allows to reduce the level of referee’s subjectivity and select the best articles for publication in the journal.
