REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STRUCTURE AND DESIGN OF ARTICLES

 

The text of the publication should be structured.  Research articles must conform to the IMRAD format (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion).

Introduction.

Literature review.

Materials and methods.

The results of the study.

Discussion.

Conclusion.

In the "Results" section, as a rule, systematized analytical and statistical material is presented in tables, graphs, diagrams and figures. It is not recommended to include links in this section, as it presents its own results. All names of figures, graphs, tables, and diagrams are written in Russian and English.

 

Design of figures and tables:

 

The drawings are designed in a single style, monochrome design style is welcome.;

all figures and tables are referenced in the text ("... presented in Table 1, in Figure 1");

the table name in Russian and English is given at the top of the table;

the name of the drawing in Russian and English is given at the bottom of the picture;

the data source (if it is not an author's development) in Russian is given at the bottom of the table or figure.

Abbreviations of words in illustrative materials are not allowed except for units of measurement. These materials must be numbered end-to-end and accompanied by an English translation. The volume of illustrative materials provided should not exceed A4 format. The page should have a portrait orientation.

 

Formulas:

 

formulas are typed in the built-in MS Word formula editor;

End-to-end numbering of formulas is used, with the number to the right of the formula in parentheses.

References to the text of the article are placed in square brackets, indicating the number of the source in the bibliographic list and the pages referred to by the author in the order of mention - for example: [9, p. 36].

 

A systematic review of the literature is recommended to be structured taking into account the international recommendations of PRISMA.

 

If it is impossible to use the IMRAD structure (in particular, in "Reviews") The article is divided into thematic blocks.

 

In addition to the text, the structure contains the following information in Russian and English:

 

• The title of the article (no more than 8 words are recommended);
• type of article (research article, review article or review);
• UDC (article code);
• information about the authors (full name, academic title, academic degree, position, organization name; ORCID (required)[1]; Scopus, Researcher ID (if available), RSCI SPIN code (for Russian-speaking authors); email, organization name with country, zip code, city, full address);
• Abstract in English and Russian (from 2 to 2.5 thousand characters with spaces), structured in accordance with international standards and including:

Introduction (justification of relevance and purpose of the study)

Materials and methods (description of the research methodology);

Results (main results, novelty, conclusions of the research work).

Discussions (the significance of the results obtained for understanding the existing problems in the global scientific space and management practice, research prospects)

The abstract text should not repeat the title and text of the article. The author's abstract is designed to serve as an independent source of information from the article.

6) Keywords (up to 9 words);

7) List of sources

7.1 Volume of sources

The list for a research article should contain at least 20 sources (from 30% to 50% of which are in English). To reflect current trends, the editorial board recommends that about 50% of the analyzed sources be dated at least three years earlier than the date of publication. No more than 10% of self-citations (or citations by one author) are allowed.

The list of references for the review article should contain at least 40 sources (of which at least 60% should be in English).  There is also a requirement to reflect modern publications and ethical standards of self-citation.
