 TEXT OF THE ARTICLE

  1. Heading is an important part of the article, which should clearly reflect the topic. The heading is not expressed in an abstract or general way, hence it should be written in an academic style and present a proposed solution to the main problem and questions underlying the research topic. The number of words used in the heading of a scientific article should be no more than 10-12, and the number of keywords in the title should be at least 1-2 words. Only commonly used abbreviations are used in the heading.
  1. Abstract contains information about the scientific, theoretical and practical aspects of the research topic, i.e. a summary and description of the article.

In terms of its composition, abstract should comprise following:

  • subject, topic, purpose, relevance and problem of the research;
  • research method / methodology;
  • findings;
  • possible applications of the research findings;

Based on the above information, abstract is written in the form of a single text and is not divided into paragraphs or sections.

The scope of the abstract is about 150-250 words. Use of repetitions, redundant words, detailed descriptions, copying statements from the text of the article, rewriting of exact title, use of abbreviations, references to sources are not allowed.

  1. Keywords that make up the semantic core (basis, essence) of a scientific article are a list of important concepts and categories that are considered necessary to describe the topic and the study itself. In practice, these words help to find the article on the Internet. Therefore, when writing a scientific article (articles), special attention is to be paid to the semantic core of the topic.

The number of key words should be within 6-8 words, which are sorted from general to specific, that is, starting with keywords related to the topic and problem, and ending with keywords related to the object and subject of the research. Neologisms, long phrases, related parts of speech are not used as keywords.

  1. The text of a scientific article is written according to the following requirements
    1. Each figure and table are numbered and captioned. Captions must not be part of the figures or tables. Tables and figures are numbered sequentially and referenced in the text. Figures and tables are numbered separately. If there is only one figure or table in an article, no numbers are given. Graphs and diagrams (these are referred to as figures!) must be equally informative in both color and black and white.

     Figures and tables are given in the following order:

    The title of a table in the article is centered. The word "Table" is aligned to the right of the page.

    The content in the first line (columns, header) is highlighted in bold, the following lines are not highlighted, in normal 10-point font.

    Table or Table 1

    Table’ name

    (font size 12, highlighted, with no dot at the end)

    Example

    The data given in the table should be clear and concise.

    1. The editorial team of the journal recommend that authors use up-to-date scientific (!) sources of information (scientific articles, theses from scientific conferences, dissertations, synopsis) published over the past 5-10 years when compiling the lists of reference literature (REFERENCES).

    The reference to the source is given in the text in the international citation format APA: in parentheses with indication to the name of the author and year of publication.

    FYI: use the link https://apastyle.apa.org/ for the detailed guide on the principles of citation according to APA style.

     Example:

    An article must contain links up to at least 20 sources

    References to foreign editions should make at least 50%.

    Scientific sources are better to be mentioned with indication to DOI.

    References to official documents are not given in the article, they are provided in the text itself (title, date, number).
