The Editorial Board accepts only original works. The standard is 6–12 pages in length, excluding the title, keywords, the abstract, references, figures, tables, and formatting according to the requirements.

Manuscripts should be uploaded as Microsoft Word for Windows (Word document). All margins – 2 cm, paragraph indentions – 0.5 cm. Font – Times New Roman in size – 14 with 1.5 line spacing.

When typing avoid the following:

• using macros in manuscripts files;
• text alignment using space bar (including non-breaking space);
• paragraphing using tab keys or space bar;
• inserting section breaks;
• figures appearing in tables with unmarked borders;
• using abbreviations and contractions without spelling them out at first mention.

1. UDC identifier.
2. The title of the scientific manuscript (should reflect its content and the major problem as accurately as possible, be short but precise. Its recommended length is no more than 13 words).
3. Copyright sign and year.
4. Information about the authors: Surname and initials of the author, academic degree, academic status, occupation; company, city, country.
   ! Providing his / her E-mail in the article the author corresponding to the Editorial Board agrees to provide an open access to the article.

1. Keywords. The main criterion the author should bear in mind when choosing key words is their potential value to summarize the content of the document or to help the readers to find the document. The key words may contain terms, phrases, abbreviations, numerical data, chronological data, proper names, symbols. The preferable length of the phrase is 2-3 words. Set expressions, set terms, technical terms serving as key words should not be changed as their changing leads to the loss of the term meaning. The article should contain 5-9 key words, they should be separated by semicolon.
2. Abstract (200–250 words) should contain the brief summary of the concept of the article (read Abstract guidelines).
3. The text of the manuscript should be structured in accordance with the rules.
4. Acknowledgements. Acknowledgements to individuals, granting organizations, grants numbers, etc. The granting organizations names should be written out.
5. REFFERENCES (at least 20 sources) conformed to the formatting requirements.

The abstract is one paragraph of 200-250 words. It is not permitted to divide the abstract into sections and use headings.

The abstract should be structured in the following way:

• a brief (not more than 40–60 words) justification of the relevance of the work;
• a brief (not more than 30–50 words) description of the matter the article touches upon (if it is not clear from the title);
• a brief description of the main actions taken in the work and given in the annotated article to obtain definite results (for instance, a numerical experiment was carried out to study the influence…; the model of … is proposed; theoretical studies of … were carried out; the theory of the phenomena was proposed; the dependence of У from Х is examined; the dependence of У from Х is obtained; … was tested; social research involving… group was carried out, etc.);
• in the end of the abstract one or two main results or conclusions are briefly described. Herewith the abstract should not contain copied results or their literal repetition and conclusions, which should be given in the separate section of the article.  

When writing the abstract, the author should bear in mind that:

• The abstract is written to submit the article to abstract journals and databases;
• The abstract is read prior to the article and the conclusion about the need to address the article is made on the basis of the abstract. 

If the aim, methods, results and conclusions are presented in the article word-for-word an interesting article might miss the readers as there will be no need in reading it.  

However, if the article does not present the main results and/or conclusions, the author can also miss the readers, as the scientific novelty and the value of the article will not be clear.

In other words, the main aim of the abstract is to preview the article and make the potential reader interested, to boost the reader to read the article itself. 

The structure of the article should conform to the IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) standard, applied by Science World Community. Each original scientific article should be structured as following:

Title Abstract Introduction Methods Results Discussion Conclusions References

INTRODUCTION

An introduction should reflect why and what for the research is conducted, what knowledge gap it fills in, to what extent the problem is discussed in literature, what the theoretical background, the hypothesis and the aim of the article are. As the result, the introduction should contain a brief works analysis, justification of the relevance and formulated aim of the article. 

METHODS

The section provides a comprehensive information about the research and test methods used by the authors. References to published standards are allowed. If the methodology is proprietary and has never been published anywhere before, it should be described in details. If the methodology has been published before, it should be described annotativly with the references to the prior publications. It is needed for the reproducibility of test and research results and also for the accuracy confirmation. Otherwise, the article is of little scientific value.

RESULTS

The section can be additionally structured and contain subheadings.

It is described what was obtained during the study: visible results, their analysis, generalization, etc. No hypotheses about the causes of the experimental factor influence on the visible results, possible reactions, physical assessments or explanatory phenomenological models should be in the description of the results obtained – they are given in the DISCUSSION section.

DISCUSSION

The purpose of the given section is to present the answer to hypothesis, to compare the given research with other researches, to describe the contribution to scholarship. The obtained results and their correspondence with the findings of prior studies are analyzed in details. The section also interprets the results and describes why they are obtained.

CONCLUSIONS

The section reflects the contribution to scholarship.

Conclusions should logically follow from the results obtained during the work. 

Conclusions might be unconfirmed and complex.

The table should have a clear structure. Each value should be placed in a separate line (table cell). No contractions should be used in column titles. The information in the table should be presented without the use of scanning, colored background, bold borders.  Tables text font – 12 pt. The article should not end with a figure or table. Tables should not fall outside the page layout. The use of landscape pages is not allowed. The titles of the tables are required Ttable 1. The title of the table). All tables should have continuous numbering. Each table should be referenced in the article.

The figures should be included in the text of the manuscript and be submitted separately as original files. (tif, jpg, mode – gray gradient or bit, definition – not lower than 300 px/inch for photographs and not lower than 600 px/inch for graphs. In scanned figures the captions should be clearly fit. Color pictures, photographs, tables, graphs will be rejected. The figures made in Microsoft Graph, should have 10 pt text font, lines weight is not more than 0.5 pt; in captions the prepositions should not be separated from words they belong to. Instead of using bold text it is recommended to use CAPITALIZATION. The figures should be grouped into the macro cell and should be editable. Figures in MS Visio will be rejected. At the graph figures it is recommended to use different dashes – dash-lines of different length, etc. Diagrams created in Microsoft Word, are accepted in editable format (it is recommended to submit them in a separate Excel file). Figures should not fall out of the page layout. Landscape pages are not allowed. Captures are required (Fig. 1. The title). All illustrations should have continuous numbering. All figures should be referenced in the text of the article.

The total number of tables and figures – not more than 10. The simultaneous use of tables and figures representing the same results is not allowed.

Formulas are edited in Microsoft Equation 3 formula editor. Formulas should not be longer than 80 mm. Characters size in formulas: regular – 10 pt, large index – 7 pt, small index – 5 pt, Latin letters are typed in italics, Greek and Russian letters are typed in upright font, math characters cos, sin, max, min, etc. in upright font. The size of the formula is 100 %. Converting formulas to figures is not allowed. Each formula according to the context should be followed by a comma or a dot. To put a comma or a dot in formula editor is not allowed. Formula number should be given in parentheses at the right margin of the page at the level of the formula. Only the formulas referenced in the text should be numbered. The dimensions of all characteristics should conform to SI system. It is not recommended to use in the text the characters typed in a formula editor.

A reference list of a scientific article is judged by the quality of the sources cited.  The main requirements that are specified for sources cited in the work are their compliance with the topic under study and their trustworthiness. For scientific articles the most trustworthy sources are the newest articles and monographies (including the foreign ones), published over the last 3–5 years in the acknowledged journals by the authors with high scientific skills. 

References are listed in the order of citation in the article. Reference list should not include the sources not cited in the article. Each citation in the reference list should correspond with only one article.  Complex citations (grouping the sources under one number) are strictly prohibited.

The numbers of pages in the bibliographical entry of the source are required. If the citation refers to the independent publication (for example, a monograph), the total number of pages is given (for example, 345 p.). If the citation refers the journal article, the head and the last pages of the article are given (for example, pp. 17–19).

In the journal it is not common to cite textbooks and study guides, except the flagship in their respective field, thesis papers and synopsis of a thesis. Not less than a quarter of the sources listed in the reference list should be published in the last 3–5 years. References to print publications only are acceptable (excluding e-journals). References to internet sites are not accepted. Not more than 20 % of the sources can be references on the own author's publications.

If a cited source has a DOI, the DOI should be indicated at the end of bibliographic description of this source. All DOIs should be valid links.

In References only one type of quotation marks is used “straight double quotation marks”. The second type of quotation marks – " double quotation marks" – can be used only inside the quoted construction. 

A bibliographical entry – a set of bibliographical notes about the document cited, considered or mentioned in the text, needed and sufficient for general characteristics, identification and searching for the document. 

Bibliographical entries are used when:

• citing;
• borrowing concepts, formulas, tables, illustrations from other sources;
• paraphrasing, rewriting the text fragment in your own words;
• the reference to the other publication, where the question is discussed in a more detailed way, is needed;
• analyzing the works published.

In the text the index number of the source from the reference list is given in square brackets. The pages number is given in square brackets only when the direct quote is used. All direct quotes should be quoted.
In our journal the simultaneous use of more than three references is not allowed. If several sources are mentioned they are separated by a semicolon (for example, [1; 2] or [3; 7; 12]) or a hyphen, if the sequence of sources is given (for example, [1–3] instead of [1; 2; 3]).
In case figures, schemas, tables in the text are taken from other publications it is necessary to refer to their sources. Herewith after mentioning the title of the figure, scheme, table “Retrieved from” is mentioned in square brackets. Then the number of the source in the reference list where the figure, scheme or table was taken from and separated by comma the number of the page, the figure, scheme or table is on in this source.
