    Format the title and author details

    The article starts with the UDC code, then the title, then the authors. For each author give the academic degree, position, organisation, city, e-mail and ORCID. If you have no ORCID, you can get one free of charge at orcid.org in five minutes.

    Example

    Build the text in sections

    Sections are marked with subheadings in bold. Review and theoretical articles may have a free structure, but an introduction and a conclusion are required.

  5. 5

    Add figures and tables

    • Number them in order — “Figure 1”, “Table 1” — and refer to them in the text.
    • A figure caption goes below the figure, a table title above the table.
    • Photographs and scans: at least 300 dpi. Also attach them as separate JPG or PNG files.
    • Do not insert tables as pictures — only as Word tables, so that they can be edited.
  6. 6

    Format the reference list

    At least 10 sources, at least three of them from the last five years. The list follows GOST R 7.0.5 in the order of citation. A reference in the text is the number of the source and the page in square brackets: [3, p. 25]. If a source has a DOI, give it.
