Submissions
Submission Preparation Checklist
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.- Only one article by an author can be published in one issue, regardless of whether it is written alone or in co-authorship.
- In accordance with the recommendations of the Ethics Committee (Protocol No. 36 (46) of November 30, 2023), only motivated cases of using Russian or Soviet sources of information are allowed "for justified reasons, from the point of view of achieving the research goal or which have no analogues in the relevant field of knowledge and/or contain statistical information".
- Articles submitted to the editorial board must be prepared using the template, in accordance with its formatting requirements. The section concerning the main text layout complies with the general preparation guidelines for articles considered for publication in the journal. To ensure correct formatting of the article text, please use the instructions provided in the first paragraph of the document found at the link above.
- Authors are advised to review the example of the article layout provided in the template, as well as the recommendations for preparing references. When using or citing materials, a correct bibliographic reference is required, which must include the surnames and initials of the author(s), the title of the article, the title of the publication, and the DOI (if available in the original source). If the references do not comply with the specified requirements, the article will be returned for revision without being reviewed by the editorial board.
- The article must include a section titled Declaration on the use of generative AI, located between the conclusions and the list of references. In this section, authors should either declare that no generative AI was used or specify the AI tools employed, providing clear details on the purpose and outcome of their use (see examples in the preparation guidelines and template).
- It is recommended to verify compliance with the preparation requirements before submitting the article to the editorial board, in order to avoid its return in case it does not meet the formatting rules available at this link.
- Additionally, it is necessary to take into account the recommendations on the transliteration of authors' names, surnames, and patronymics, as well as the translation of academic degrees, positions, and academic titles.
- The Guidelines of the European Association of Science Editors (EASE) for authors and translators of scientific articles in English should be followed. This primarily concerns the article structure, abstract writing, citation style, and preparation of the reference list.
