Formatting Requirements

Submit your manuscript as a .doc or .rtf file, with indentations but no paging or special preformatting settings.
Font – Times New Roman, font size – 10, line spacing – 1.0. Do not indent a paragraph with tabulation or series of spaces.
The recommended size for a research article is 35,000–40,000 characters, including abstract, keywords, and references; a review article can exceed the limit of 40,000.
The originality of the article must reach at least 75%. The volume of borrowing from one source should not exceed 6% (Don't forget to provide a link to this source!). Plagiarism is prohibited.
The title, information about the author(s), abstract, keywords, footnote references, and titles of tables and figures should be available in Russian and English.
The title (max. 10-12 words) should be short, informative, and scientific. Make sure your title reflects the subject, topic, and objective of your research.
Information about the Author(s):
- Names: First names precede the last names. In the case of several co-authors, the order depends on the contribution of each author.
- Affiliations: please use only formal names, no abbreviations. If you believe an acronym is compulsory, mention it in brackets after the full name of your institution.
- The full name of your affiliation precedes the country and city, separated by a comma.
- Include your profile link in ORCID.
- E-mail of the Corresponding Author
The abstract (150–250 words) should be original and completely reflect the main results and novelty of the article. The best way to structure your abstract is to let it follow the structure of the article itself: introduction, tasks and objectives, methods, results, and conclusion.
Keywords (6–10) identify the subject of the manuscript and facilitate computer-based search. You are free to use separate words or phrases, but not more than three words per phrase.
The body of your article should include the following sections:
- Introduction: Make sure your introduction reflects the objectives of your research. This part gives a brief review of the publications related to the matter and proves its relevance.
- Methods and Materials: This section describes the experiment or the theoretical background. If artificial intelligence tools were used when creating the article, you should declare this (for research articles) (Generative AI policies).
- Results: this paragraph features the experimental or theoretical research results given as text or tables, figures, illustrations, etc. It can be divided into subsections with their own titles.
- Conclusions: here you briefly summarize the main results of your research. Naturally, the conclusion answers the question posed by the introduction, restates the relevance of the results, contains recommendations, proposes further research, etc.
Illustrative material:
- place the tables and figures inside the body of your article;
- provide each table or figure with a link in the text;
- enclose figures made in MS Office as separate .xls, .vsd, or doc files;
- enclose scanned images and photographs as separate .tif, .jpg, or .png files with a resolution of > 300 dpi;
- tables are editable text, not images.
Additional information
- Conflict of Interests: this section indicates a real or potential conflict of interests. If there is no conflict of interests, you should write that “the author declares that there is no conflict of interests regarding the publication of this article”. Please make sure you have informed the Editor in advance about any kind of potential conflict of interests. Should the Editor reveal it during the initial check-up, your manuscript can be rejected.
- Authorship and Contribution: specify the contribution of each author; CRediT may help you to define their roles in the project.
  - In determining the authorship and contributorship, the editorial office follows the authorship criteria:
    1. Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND.
    2. Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND
    3. Final approval of the version to be published; AND
    4. Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
- Acknowledgments: This section is optional and contains an expression of gratitude to those who contributed to the research.
- Funding: indicate the organization that supported your research and the publication of this article. Remember that by failing to indicate funding source you may cause a conflict of interests.
- AI Declaration: You are expected to disclose the use of AI tools at all stages of manuscript preparation, including: text generation, even in such formal parts as introduction, discussion, conclusions, or annotations; data preparation or validation, e.g., statistical analysis, visualization, or data synthesis; translation, paraphrasing, or editing; searching for relevant publications or compiling references; processing/creating figures, graphs, charts, audio/video materials, etc. (Generative AI policies).
References: 25–40 for an original research article, 80 for a review. It is a mandatory structural part, which reflects the scientific coverage of the topic and allows you to verify the reliability of the data used in the study. The list of references allows you to recognize and use the ideas of other authors, avoid accusations of plagiarism as well as demonstrate the scale and depth of research by quoting the works of other authors and their previous publications. References to the latest publications and foreign literature can highlight the relevance of a scientific publication.
- The editorial office does not accept for publication manuscripts without a list of references.
- Include in the list of references only the sources used to write the article.
- References to unpublished works, state documents (decrees, laws, etc.), historical documents, newspaper articles, Internet sources without authorship (forums, blogs, etc.), examples from fiction, encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc. are given as footnotes.
- References are given in square brackets, numbered (starting from the first number).
- Place the list of references after the body of the article in the order of mention in the text, preceded by the word References.
- Instead of including dissertations, abstracts of dissertations, educational and methodological manuals, it is better to reference articles from scientific journals, conference materials, monographs, etc., published by the same author.
- Include 7–10 sources published in the last 5 years.
- Limit self-citation to 10 % of references from the total number of sources. Use of self-citation should be justified.
- Provide the description of the sources in accordance with Russian National Standard (GOST 7.05-2008 Bibliographic reference. General requirements and rules of compilation). The description of the source in Latin is based on the Chicago style citation. Replace slashes and hyphens used in GOST with commas and dots.
- The bibliographic description of the publication includes:
  - the last name and initials of every author (regardless of their number),
  - the full title of the work,
  - title of the book or journal (if specified),
  - city, publisher's name, year of publication,
  - volume (for multi-volume publications); volume and issue (for periodicals),
  - for articles – the numbers of the first and last page; for monographs – the total number of pages.
- If the source has DOI, add it to the bibliographical description.
- When referring to a part of a book or collection (article, chapter, section, etc.), indicate its first and last pages in the list of references.
- Provide a translation or transliteration of the source in square brackets after the Russian description.
- Transliteration of the Russian authors’ last name should match the one provided in their other publications (in foreign language) or in their profiles (ORCID, Scopus). If there is no such information, use transliteration according to the LC standard (Library of Congress).
- Do not transliterate the names of foreign authors, instead use their name as it is originally written (for example, J. Austin – J. Austen, not Dzh. Ostin).
- If the title of publication is written in alphabet, other than Latin, translate it into English. If authors of the source material already provided a translation, use the author’s version translation. You can find this information on the website of a particular journal or in digital scientific library (eLIBRARY.RU).
- Provide the names of journals written in alphabet, other than Latin, according to how the journals prefer to be quoted. If the journal has no such information, then use transliteration according to the LC standard. Italicize the name of the journal.
- If the source text written in alphabet, other than Latin, then the language of the publication is indicated in parentheses at the end of the description, for example (In Russ.), (In Jap.), (In Ukr.), etc.
