— initials and family names of the authors (no more than 6 authors) are given with links to contact information (place of work (study) of the author(s), organization); city, country, e-mail, phone (if desired); it is necessary to include the e-mail address of one of the authors (corresponding author) in the affiliation field, (when transliterating full names, the author must adhere to their uniform spelling in all articles).

— Abstract (300-400 words) should briefly state the purpose of the study, the main results and the main conclusions of the research (given both in Russian and English). The structure of the abstract should be as follows.

Introduction states the scientific problem and objectives of the work. The topicality of the research issues is described, and the gap in scientific knowledge that gives the basis for the research is indicated.

Materials and Methods. The methods and techniques used, or procedures for obtaining scientific knowledge are presented.

Results of the research are given briefly, the most significant results, attractive to the reader and the scientific community are described.

Discussion and Conclusion. This section should briefly discuss the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. The contribution of the research to science is evaluated, as well as the possibility of applying its results in real practice.

— Keywords are a search tool for a scientific article. It is possible to search articles by keywords in all bibliographic databases. They should reflect the main provisions, achievements, findings, terminology of scientific research. The list of keywords can also include phrases of 2-3 words, but no more than 4 such phrases. They are given both in Russian and English.

— Acknowledgements. In this section, the authors express their appreciation to colleagues for their help; their gratitude for the financial support of the study.

The body of text of the article is necessarily presented in Russian, in addition, you can attach a full-text version of the English translation according to the IMRAD structure:

1) Introduction.
2) Materials and Methods.
3) Results.
4) Discussion and Conclusion.

These sections should be highlighted with appropriate subheadings and contain relevant information.

1) Introduction (1-2 pages) presents statement of a scientific problem, its urgency, connection with the major tasks that need to be solved, emphasizes its significance for the development of a certain branch of science or practice. The introduction should contain information that allows the reader to understand and evaluate the results of the research presented in the article. The author should first of all state the common theme of the study, identify problems that have not been solved in previous studies, which this article is designed to solve. In addition, it expresses the main idea of the publication, which significantly differs from current ideas about the problem, complements or deepens already known approaches to it. The attention is drawn to the introduction of new facts, conclusions, recommendations, and patterns into scientific circulation. The objective of the article follows from the formulation of a scientific problem.

2) Materials and Methods (1-2 pages). This section describes the process of organizing the experiment, the methods and equipment used; provides detailed information about the object of research; indicates the sequence of the study, and justifies the selection of methods used (observation, survey, testing, experiment, laboratory experience, analysis, modeling, etc.).

3) Results. In this part of the article, the author's systematized analytical and statistical material should be presented. The results of the conducted research should be described sufficiently fully, so that the reader can trace its stages and assess the validity of the conclusions made by the author. This is the main section, the purpose of which is to prove a working hypothesis (hypotheses). If necessary, the results are confirmed by illustrations (tables, graphs, figures), which represent the source material or evidence in a contracted form. It is critical that the illustrated information does not duplicate the information already given in the text. It is desirable to compare the results presented in the article with previous works of both the author and other researchers in this field. Such a comparison can emphasize the novelty of the work done, increase its objectivity. The results of the study should be presented briefly, but contain enough information to evaluate the conclusions made. The selection of these data should also be validated. All titles, captions and structural elements of graphs, tables, diagrams, etc., are given both in Russian and English.

4) Discussion and Conclusion. Conclusion contains a brief statement of the research results. It summarizes the basic ideas of the body of text. Repetitions of the material presented should be rephrased. In this section, it is necessary to compare the obtained results to the objective of the study stated at the beginning of the work. The results of comprehension of the topic are summarized; conclusions, generalizations and recommendations arising from the work are made; their practical significance is emphasized; and the main directions for further research in this area are determined. In the final part of the article, it is desirable to include attempts to forecast the development of the issues considered.

References. The list of sources used (from 15 to 20) is drawn up in accordance with the requirements adopted in the Journal using the APA citation style. The reference list indicates only sources (articles, books, monographs, patents, dissertations, etc.) that have authorship. References to anonymous electronic sources on the Internet, State standards, statistical reports, articles in socio-political newspapers and magazines, regulatory documents and other sources not signed by the authors are indicated in page-by-page footnotes and are not included in the reference list.

Footnotes are numbered and placed page by page. It is necessary to refer primarily to original sources from scientific journals included in global citation indexes. Sources published in the last 3 years should be at least 70%, foreign – at least 10%. It is highly undesirable to quote textbooks, guidelines, sources older than 10-15 years. When describing the source, its DOI should be specified.
