The reference data of author(s)should be indicated before the article text: full name, academic degree, academic rank, affiliation (the full name of the organization and its postal address), job title, phone number(s), e-mail address and postal address of an author, ORCID.

Abstract. Abstract of 800–1000 characters is required for all papers. The abstract should contain the description of research essence (main idea, purpose, methods, and results of research) and keywords (no more than ten) in Russian and English. Article title in English, transliteration of author’s full name from the Cyrillic script into the Latin letters, and list of references transliterated into Latin letters and translated into English should accompany a full article text.

References. Authors must indicate the references to the sources from which they retrieve quotations, statistical data and other information. The reference list must be given after the article text and include the cited (mentioned) references to the sources arranged in the alphabetic order and numbered in sequence. It is required to indicate place of publication, name of publication house (except for periodicals), and year of publication for each reference. At the beginning of the list, the references in Russian are given then - in foreign languages.

All the authors must follow the Rules of reference style.

Drawings, figures and diagrams / schemes should be clear and discreet and presented in the format ensuring the readerbility of all the details in the vertical and the horizontal display sizes. Scanning resolution of grey and coloured files should be 150dpi and more; and of black-and-white files – 300dpi for 7X7 cm picture size. Since only black-and-white or grey images are acceptable / possible in the printed version of the Journal, coloured images must be adequately received when reproduced (conveyed, rendered) in grey. Thus, red and blue images will both look different shades of grey, so, to avoid ambiguity, it is necessary to emphasize the difference between coloured pictures or elements of pictures with the help of some graphical means (different shading or marking or legend). Charts should be titled; drawings should have inscriptions both in Russian and in English.

The Editorial Board reserves the right to return articles to their authors for formatting the references in conformity with the above mentioned rules.
