Author Guidelines

Introduction

Our site is moderated automatically. The articles submitted by the authors are first of all controlled by the automated system and then go to the editor. Therefore, all inadequacy with the requirements for the paperwork of the manuscript may lead to your failure to upload your manuscript.

Do your best to comply with all the requirements for the design of the article set by our editors (please note that there are two points on this page: "Requirements for the design of the manuscript and accompanying documents" and "The procedure for submitting the manuscript")

Manuscripts with a volume of 30,000 printed characters or more (approximately 3800-4000 words) are accepted for estimation. The editors do not set an upper bound on the volume of the article, but in cases of exceeding 2 printers sheets (80,000 characters) it is recommended to split the text of the manuscript into two independent and logically connected parts and submit them for estimation separately from each other.

Requirements for the design of the manuscript and accompanying documents

1. Before submission the author must prepare three separate files:

- the author’s biographical information (download the template for English-speaking authors or download the template for Russian-speaking authors) including name, place of work, city and country, email and ORCID number. The DOCX, DOC, RTF, and ODT formats are possible;

- the text of the manuscript without indicating the author / authors (download the template for English-speaking authors or download the template for Russian-speaking authors). The DOCX, DOC, RTF, and ODT formats are possible;

- completed, signed and scanned personal data processing consent (download the template for English-speaking authors or download the template for Russian-speaking authors) submitted in PDF format only.

2. The text of the manuscript without attribution must be formatted in accordance with the requirements:

a) Metadata of the article (title, abstract, keywords) should take the first two pages of the document. Use the Ctrl + Enter key combination to separate the article metadata from the manuscript.

b) The title of the article must be formatted according to the requirements: no indentation; center alignment; bold style; line spacing = 1; Times New Roman font, size = 15.

c) The abstract of the article (strictly no less than 150 and no more than 250 words!) and keywords (10 terms, separated from each other by a semicolon, not just a comma) must be formatted according to the requirements: width alignment; typeface is normal; no indentation; line spacing = 1; Times New Roman font, size = 12.

Use this scheme:

1. Problem (2-3 sentences)

2. Purpose of the study (1 sentence)

3. Results of your research (1-2 sentences)

4. Findings (1-2 sentences)

d) The text of the manuscript is formatted as follows: Times New Roman font, size = 14; alignment in width; line spacing = 1; paragraph = 1 cm; the font style is normal.

e) The text should be divided into semantic parts: Introduction, The main text, which also needs to be divided into parts, and Conclusion. In case of an empirical study, the text of the article is structured according to the IMRAD principle (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion). Information about research funding is placed in a separate "Acknowledgements" section.

f) Large citations (2-3 sentences) are formatted as follows: they are separated from the text by one entry line (top and bottom): Times New Roman font, size - 12; LEFT AND RIGHT SHIFT (not as in paragraph) - 1 cm; width alignment; line spacing = 1.

g) References in the text are made in parentheses: the surname, year of publication and the page on which the quotation is posted (Smith, 2009, p. 250) or (Smith, 2009, pp. 250-254).

If the scientist's surname occurs in a sentence or you have already referred to it in a previous sentence, then there is no need to place it in brackets again (2009, p. 251). If the cited author has two works of the same year, then they are designated by letters, for example (Smith, 2009a, p. 250) or (Smith, 2009b, p. 149). Please follow the correctness of the links in the text.

h) The references is drawn up according to the international standard APA 7th Edition.

For references and references the editorial board recommends using the bibliography manager Zotero (the official website of the program - https://www.zotero.org/)

Only articles with a list of references of at least 25 items are accepted for publication.

Poor design of the bibliography is a potential reason for refusal to publish an article even at the first stage of the article's evaluation by the editor.
