It should be understandable to specialists in other fields, informative and specific: 5-9 words corresponding to the content of the article, without phrases such as " Research question... " , " Some questions... " , " Problems... " etc. For an original research article, it is preferable to add a study descriptor to the title, for example "cross-sectional study", "practical study", "survey results" (see more details on title requirements in the Recommendations EANR (European Association of Scientific Editors) for authors and translators of scientific articles in English .

WARNING! Authors submit two versions of the article — with metadata - information about the authors (file Authors. Title of the article) and without metadata (File For review. Title of the article). This is required for double-blind peer review.

 

6. ABSTRACT

The abstract should reflect the content of the article, as it will be the primary source of information about your research for most readers (many databases contain only the title and abstract).

The abstract of the original research article should be structured and informative, comply with the IMRAD structure and contain the following points:

• Actuality.
• Purpose and tasks.
• Methods.
• The results.
• Conclusions.

See example of abstract design in the abstract requirements in the Recommendations EANR (European Association of Scientific Editors) for authors and translators of scientific articles in English .

The length of the abstract should be not less than 1,800 characters and not more than 2,500 characters (with spaces).

The abstract of a review article can be unstructured, indicative; it should highlight the main theses of the review. The volume could be 100-150 words.

 

7. KEYWORDS

For an original research article — 4 to 8 keywords. For a review article - 3 - 6 keywords. Keywords should not repeat the title of the article.

 

8. MAIN TEXT OF THE ARTICLE

Volume OF THE MAIN TEXT. An original research article — from 3,000 to 8,000 words, review article — from 2,000 to 5,000 words.

STRUCTURE OF THE ARTICLE. An original research paper must be prepared using the IMRAD structure and contain the following basic elements:

• Literature review.
• Literature review.
• Methodology.
• The results.
• Discussion and conclusions.

Detailed requirements for each of the specified structural elements of the article are given in the Recommendations by EANR (European Association of Scientific Editors) for authors and translators of scientific articles in English).
The review article should also be prepared using the IMRAD structure without the "Methodology" section.

 

ILLUSTRATIONS, TABLES. All figures (schemes, graphs, charts, etc.) and tables must be numbered with Arabic numerals and placed directly in the text, where they should be according to the content (and not at the end of the document).

Explanatory captions should be given to the figures (below the figure, a separate paragraph), and thematic titles to the tables (above the table, a separate paragraph). Captions and titles should reflect the content of images and tables, be concise and informative. Each figure or table should be referred to in the main text of the article and their serial number should be indicated, for example: (Fig. 1), (Table 2).

Example:

Fig. 1. Histograms of the normal distribution of internal disk values

If the article is accepted, authors will upload individual files of all high-resolution figures in .tif or .jpg formats. File names for infographics should be self-explanatory and match the names in the text (eg Figure 1, Figure 2 ). Image resolution: 1,200 dpi for line art, 600 dpi for grayscale, and 300 dpi for color.

 

9. INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTION OF AUTHORS. It is necessary to indicate information about the contribution of the authors to the preparation of the article according to CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy):

• Conceptualization. Ideas; the formulation or evolution of overarching research goals and objectives.
• Formal analysis. Application of statistical, mathematical, computational or other formal methods for analysis or synthesis of empirical research data.
• Software. Programming, software development; design of computer programs; implementation of computer code and auxiliary algorithms; code component testing.
• Methodology. Development or design of methodology; creating models.
• Data validation. Checking the reproducibility of results/experiments and other research results.
• The writing is an original draft. Writing the initial version (draft) of the article.
• Writing — revision and editing. Making significant changes and additions to the article.

 

Example:

Name, surname — conceptualization, methodology;
First name, last name — software, formal analysis;
Name, surname — data validation, spelling — original draft;
Name, surname — writing — viewing and editing.

 

10. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, SOURCES OF FUNDING

Mention all people who have made significant contributions to the research but are not co-authors: coordinated the execution of the research activities, provided resources (research materials, reagents, laboratory specimens, animals, instruments, computing resources, or other analysis tools).

Specify all sources of funding. Recommended format: "This work was supported by the Medical Research Council (grant number xxxx)." If there was no specific funding, write the following sentence: "This study did not receive any grant from a funding institution in the public, commercial, or non-commercial sectors."

11. LIST OF USED SOURCES

Bibliographic entries in the list of bibliographic references are given according to the bibliographic style of citation - APA style references (7th Edition).

Sources in the list of used sources are not numbered and are presented alphabetically.

The article in English provides ONE list of used sources — References, in which the bibliographic description of sources that are not in Roman script (Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, etc.) are given in English translation. Indicate at the end of the bibliographic description in square brackets in English the source language: [in Ukrainian], [in Chinese], etc. and add a bibliographic description in the source language in square brackets. Example:

• Zhenchenko, M. (2019). Digital transformation publishing industry. Zhnets [in Ukrainian]. [Zhenchenko, M. (2019). Digital transformations of the publishing industry. Reaper].

 

The article in Ukrainian provides TWO lists of used sources:

1. The list of used sources in the original language (bibliographic descriptions are submitted according to the bibliographic style of citation APA style reference).
2. References in English (bibliographic descriptions are submitted according to the bibliographic style of citation APA style reference). In References , the bibliographic description of the sources that are not in Roman script (Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, etc.) are presented in English translation and indicate the source language in English in square brackets at the end of the bibliographic description: [in Ukrainian], [in Chinese], etc. Example:

• Zhenchenko, M. (2019). Digital transformation publishing industry. Zhnets [in Ukrainian].

 

FORMAT OF REFERENCE TO SOURCES IN THE TEXT. In-text vocations are given in round brackets with the indication:

• the last name of the author (if the author is one) or the first word of the title of the work (for publications without authors), followed by a comma and the year of publication and, if necessary, followed by a comma of the pages after the abbreviation "c." (in Ukrainian) or "p." (in English). The title of the work can be abbreviated, and the omitted words are marked with the sign "three dots"):

(Freeberg, 2019), (Freeberg, 2019, p. 147), (Freeberg, 2019, pp. 56–57), (Scientific heritage..., 2017, p. 45), (Pravdyviy, 2018, p. 184–185 );

• surnames of all co-authors (if there are no more than three authors), year of publication:

(Dormus, Brown, Bloom, 2013);

• surnames of only the first co-author, abbreviation "etc." or "et al.", year of publication (if there are more than three authors):

(Grady et al., 2019), (Nazarenko et al., 2022);

• surname and initials of the author, year of publication (if the article contains references to the works of authors with the same last name, published in the same year):

(Reinberg T., 2005);

• the author's surname, the year of publication of the first work, the year of publication of the next work (if the article contains references to the works of the same author, published in different years, the author's surname is not duplicated):

(Gibson, 2007, p. 115; 2010, pp. 73–75);

• surname of the author, year of publication, lowercase Latin letter after the year of publication (if the article contains references to the works of one author, published in the same year):

(Gibson, 2005a; 2005b; 2005c);

• indicating the number or name (if there is no number) of the part of the electronic source (volume, part, chapter, etc.) with a comma after the year of publication, if the pages are not numbered.

(Brown, 2017, vol. 2).

Citations to several sources at the same time are presented after a semicolon in alphabetical order by the first letter of the author's last name of each source or the title of the work for publications without an author. For example, researchers studied a certain problem: (Freeberg, 2019; Grady et al., 2019).

The main part of the references in the publication should be to authoritative sources of the last 5-7 years of publication. The list of references should consist of at least 30% of articles published in rating journals that are indexed in the scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science. Self-citation should not exceed 15% of the total number of cited sources.
