Requirements for Formatting and Submission of Publications
To ensure a unified standard of material submission, authors must comply with the following requirements when preparing manuscripts. The editorial board reserves the right to return submissions to authors for revision in case of non-compliance with the established rules.
The journal accepts for publication original empirical articles prepared in accordance with the international IMRAD structure, as well as review and theoretical materials for which an alternative (non-standard) structure is permitted.
Features of Non-Standard Article Structure
- In materials prepared not according to IMRAD, the section “Materials and Methods” is not provided. A short but meaningful description of the methodology should be placed in the last paragraph of the “Introduction” section.
- Instead of an integrated section “Results and Discussion”, the article should contain at least two separate substantive sections, each with a thematic title of at least five words.
- The list of references for this type of article should include at least 45 bibliographic sources (articles, books, dissertations).
