Abstract

Review

This submission, titled "Odesa myyttinä ja todellisena" (Odesa as Myth and Reality), presents a potentially intriguing topic that holds promise for scholarly exploration within history, cultural studies, or literary analysis. The juxtaposing of "myth" and "reality" suggests a nuanced investigation into how the city of Odesa has been perceived, constructed, and experienced. However, a fundamental and critical flaw immediately precludes any meaningful assessment of the paper's actual content: the complete absence of an abstract. An abstract is the cornerstone of any academic submission, designed to concisely summarize the paper's research questions, methodology, primary arguments, and key findings. Without this essential component, a reviewer is left with no insight into the paper's scope, analytical approach, or contributions. Consequently, it is impossible to evaluate the paper's scholarly merit, originality, or methodological rigor. We cannot discern whether the author employs historical archives, literary texts, sociological data, or a combination thereof to explore the interplay between myth and reality in Odesa. Nor can we understand the theoretical framework guiding this analysis, the specific time periods or cultural aspects examined, or the central conclusions drawn. The title, while evocative, offers no substitutes for this crucial information. The lack of an abstract renders the paper unreviewable in its current state, as the very foundation upon which academic discourse is built—the clear articulation of purpose and outcome—is entirely missing. Given this critical oversight, I must recommend that the paper cannot be processed for peer review until a comprehensive abstract is provided. The author must submit an abstract that clearly outlines the paper's central thesis, the methods employed to investigate the topic, the main arguments presented, and the principal findings or conclusions reached. This is not merely a formality but a prerequisite for any academic publication, serving as the primary gateway for editors, reviewers, and future readers to understand the paper's value and relevance. Once a proper abstract is supplied, a substantive review of the paper's content can then proceed.
