When submitting, there are no strict requirements to the format of references. Any references format style can be used, provided consistency is observed. If applicable, indicate the name/names of author(s), name of journals/books, titles of chapters /papers, year of publishing, number of volume /book, chapter and page. Using DOI is encouraged. The style of references accepted in the journal will be applied to the accepted article at the proofreading (layout) stage. Please pay attention that at the proofreading (layout) stage missing information may be indicted for the author to add.

Formatting requirements

We place no strict requirements to formatting, though all manuscripts shall contain essential elements needed for their processing, e.g., an abstract, keywords, introduction, means and methods, results, conclusions, graphical elements and tables with captions.

Page numbering

Place make sure that the pages of your paper are numbered sequentially because this is an essential requirement for your paper to be reviewed by your peers.

Electronic graphical presentation. General provisions

• Make sure that your original graphical presentation uses identical text styles of the same size.

• Number the illustrations according to their order in the text.

• Use a logical means of assigning names to your files with elements of graphics.

Figures and tables in the text

Please make sure that the figures and tables in one file are located opposite the respective text in the manuscript, and not in the beginning or end of the file.

Mathematical formulas

Please insert mathematical equations in an editable format rather than as an image. Insert simple formulas in line with the body text if possible and use a slash symbol (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractions, e.g., Х/Y. In principle, variables should be in italics. Exponents are best to be indicated as exp. Number sequentially all equations, which are inserted separately from the body text (if the text has an explicit reference to such equations).

Using software tools for processing the text

Please use as simple text formatting as possible. The majority of formatting codes will be replaced or deleted when the paper is processed. The electronic text should resemble a traditional manuscript as much as possible.

Essential information placed on the title page

• Name of Journal, to which the author's paper is being submitted.

• Paper title. Brief and meaningful. Titles are often used in electronic search systems. If possible, avoid using formulas and abbreviations.

• Names of authors and place of employment. Please indicate clearly the name(s) and surname(s) of each author and check the names for correctness. Indicate the place of employment under the names, including the country of residence and, if available, the email of each author.

• The author responsible for correspondence. Indicate clearly who will maintain correspondence at all stages of reviewing and publication, and also after publication. Make sure that the email address is indicated and that detailed contact information is indicated and updated by the author responsible for correspondence.

Abstract

A brief and factual abstract is required. It should contain a brief exposition of the objectives of research, the basic results and conclusions.

Keywords

Please indicate maximum eight keywords. The key words will be used for indexing purposes.

Attention!

If the Article is in Spanish or another language (except English), the text blocks are as follows: ‘Name of Journal – Paper title – Names of authors and place of employment – The author responsible for correspondence –Abstract – Keywords– References’ translated into English.

If the Article is in English, there is no need to translate the blocks ‘Name of Journal – Paper title – Names of authors and place of employment – The author responsible for correspondence –Abstract – Keywords– References’ into Spanish or another language and place them in the text.
