    1. TITLE

    It should be unambiguous, understandable to specialists in other fields, informative and specific: 5-9 words corresponding to the content of the article, without phrases such as " Research question... " , " Some questions... " , " Problems... " etc. For an original research article, it is preferable to add a research descriptor to the title, for example "cross-sectional study", "practical study", "survey results" (see more details on title requirements in  the EASE (European Association of Scientific Editors) Guidelines for Authors and Translators of Scientific Articles to be Published in English.

    WARNING! Authors submit two versions of the article — with metadata - information about the authors (file Authors. Title) and without metadata (file for review. Title). This is necessary for double anonymous peer review.

    1. ABSTRACT

     The abstract should reflect the manuscript content, as it will be the primary information source about the research for most readers (many databases contain only the title and abstract).


     The abstract of the original research manuscript should be structured and informative and should contain the following points:

    • Introduction (prerequisites, relevance and purpose of the study).
    • Methods.
    • Results.
    • Сonclusions.

    See the requirements for an abstract in the Recommendations of the EANR (European Association of Scientific Editors) and Allan Gau's tutorial "Writing an effective abstract" (extended abstract).

    The abstract of a review manuscript can be unstructured, indicative, it should highlight the main theses of the review.

    The length of the annotation is not less than 1,000 characters and not more than 1,800 characters (with spaces).

    1. KEYWORDS

     For an original research manuscript - 4-8 keywords.
     For a review manuscript - 3-6 keywords.
     Keywords should not repeat the manuscript title.

    1. MAIN TEXT

     The volume of the main text
     Review / original research article — from 2,000 to 3,000 words (up to 20,000 characters).


     Structure of the article
     An original research manuscript should be prepared using the IMRAD-framework and contain the following basic elements:

    • Introduction (prerequisites, relevance, purpose and tasks of the research).
    • Methods.
    • Results.
    • Discussion and conclusions.

    Detailed requirements for each of the specified structural elements of the article are given in the Recommendations of the EANR (European Association of Scientific Editors) for authors and translators of scientific articles.
     The review article should also be prepared using the IMRAD structure without the "Methods" section.

    Illustrations, tables. All figures (schemes, graphs, charts, etc.) and tables must be numbered with Arabic numerals and placed directly in the text where they should be according to the content (and not at the end of the document).

    Explanatory captions should be given to the figures (below the figure, a separate paragraph), and thematic titles to the tables (above the table, a separate paragraph). Captions and titles should reflect the content of figures and tables, be concise and informative. Each figure or table should be referred to in the main text of the manuscript and their number should be indicated, for example: (Table 1), (Fig. 1).
