Author Guidelines

When submitting an article to the editorial office, it is recommended to follow the Journal Templates (see Rules for Authors).

I. Manuscript. It should be submitted to the editorial office electronically through the Journal's website. The uploaded file containing the article should be in Microsoft Word format (*.doc, *.docx).

1. The total word count of the manuscript (original research, lectures, reviews), including tables and the reference list, should not exceed 6,000 words. The word count for short genre articles in scientific communication should not exceed 4,000 words, and for brief communications and letters to the editor, it should be within 1,500 words. You can check the word count in Word by going to the menu ("File" - "Properties" - "Statistics"). If the author believes that exceeding the word limits is justified and cannot be reduced, the decision to publish will be made by the editorial board based on the reviewer's recommendation.

2. Manuscript text format. The text should be typed in Times New Roman font, size 14 pt, with a line spacing of 1.15 pt. The margins on each side of the page should be 2 cm. Text formatting should ONLY use italics or bold font for emphasis, NOT underlining. All repeated spaces and unnecessary line breaks should be removed from the text (using the "find and replace" feature in Microsoft Word).

3. The file containing the article text uploaded to the submission form should include all the necessary information for publication, including figures and tables. The manuscript structure should adhere to the following template:

• Article title.
• Author names. The surnames of the authors should be provided before the initials of their first and middle names (e.g., Ivanov P.S., Petrov S.I., Sidorov I.P.).
• Affiliation. The official FULL name of the institution should be provided without abbreviations. If the manuscript involves authors from different institutions, the names of the institutions and the corresponding authors' surnames should be matched by adding numerical indexes in uppercase letters before the institution names and after the surnames of the respective authors.
• Abstract. The article's abstract should be structured, including introduction, objective, materials and methods, results, and conclusions. The abstract should be within 250-350 words.
• Keywords. 3 to 5 keywords should be provided to facilitate indexing of the article in search engines.
• Conflict of interest information. Authors should disclose potential and explicit conflicts of interest related to the manuscript. A conflict of interest can be any situation (financial relationships, employment or work in institutions with financial or political interest in the published materials, official duties, etc.) that could influence the author of the manuscript and lead to data concealment, distortion, or biased interpretation. The presence of a conflict of interest for one or more authors is not a reason for article rejection. 
• Sponsorship information. The source of funding for the research and the article publication process (foundation, commercial or government organization, private individual, etc.) should be indicated. It is not necessary to specify the funding amount.
• Acknowledgments. Authors may express gratitude to individuals and organizations that contributed to the publication of the article in the journal but are not authors of the article.
• Full text (in Russian, English, or both languages) should be structured into sections. The structure of the full manuscript text describing the results of original research should follow the accepted template and include sections: introduction (background), objective and tasks, materials and methods, results, discussion, and conclusions. References to literary sources in the article should be cited following the example (Ivanov, 2006).

• Reference list. Each source in the bibliography (reference list) should be placed on a new line without a sequential number. Detailed guidelines for formatting the bibliography can be found in the special section "Bibliography Formatting" in the Journal Template. The most important rules include:

• If the editorial office detects the concealment of potential and explicit conflicts of interest by the authors, it may be grounds for rejection of the manuscript.
• The format of the reference lists should comply with the requirements and standards of the APA style, which will facilitate the indexing of the article in international databases (see the "Bibliography Formatting" section). When citing journal articles (the most common source of information for citations), the following template should be followed: Author, A. A., Co-Author, B. B. (Year). Article title. Journal Title, Volume(Number), page-page. doi
