Before submission, please check your manuscript for validity, readability, concise presentation, and formatting. Make sure your conclusions are well-grounded and the research materials are novel.

Proofread your manuscript: although all submitted articles undergo thorough editing, the Editorial Board has the right to reject a badly written manuscript that does not meet the formatting requirements.

The article body should be 10 – 12 pages (including the abstract, figures, and tables) in MS Word, i.e. 40,000 characters with spaces. A review article has an unlimited wordage.

Generate separate files for tables and figures.

Format instructions:

• 20 mm margins;
• single line spacing without automatic hyphenation;
• no extra interspaces between words or gaps between paragraphs;
• Times New Roman, size 12;
• ≤ 3 figures, ≤ 4 tables (Times New Roman, size 12)

Structure: Each article sent to the Journal should be structured as described below:

0. In the upper right corner, state the type of manuscript: research paper, review, scientific report, news item, informational or publication, etc.

1. In the upper left corner, type in the Universal Decimal Classification of your research or JEL classification.

 2. Title (<10 words>) in Russian, English, it should be informative and reflect the main results of the research. Please avoid abbreviations. Only the first letter is capitalized, the rest of the words are lowercase, except for proper names and titles.

3. Initials and last names of the authors, separated by commas. Spelling should coincide with ORCID ID. Mind that all authors should have an ORCID profile. Please mark the name of the author responsible for correspondence with an asterisk (*) and give their e-mail address.

4. Affiliations: formal name of the institution, city, and postal address with postal code. The names and locations of institutions or companies should be given for all authors. If several institutions are listed on a manuscript, it should be clearly indicated with which department and institution each author is affiliated by using corresponding superscript numbers.

5. Abstract (200 – 250 words): it cannot exceed 2,000 characters with spaces. The abstract should be original and reflect the main results and novelty of the article. The best way to structure your abstract is to let it follow the structure of the article itself: introduction, study objects and methods, results, and conclusions. Concentrate mainly on the results: mention the main theoretical and experimental results, actual data, discovered interconnections, and regularities. Give preference to new results and long-term data, important discoveries, practical importance, and conclusions; avoid meaningless introductory phrases and vague, general statements. Make sure your abstract contains keywords. Do not paragraph your abstract. Numerals are transmitted in numbers unless the sentence starts with one. You are free to use generally accepted abbreviations: the first time you use an abbreviation in the text, present both the spelled-out version and the short form in parenthesis after it. If there are many abbreviations, make a glossary at the end of the article.

6. Keywords (≤10) in Russian, English: keywords that identify the subject of the manuscript and facilitate computer-based search. Use Thesaurus.com, CABThesaurus, Multitran.com, if necessary. 

7. Funding: indicate how the research and the publication of this article were funded. If the study was performed with the support of a grant, specify the number of the grant and its title. State the name of your employer if the study was performed as part of your routine work and did not receive additional funding. The funding section is optional: feel free to omit it if your research had no financial support.

8. The body of your article should include the following sections:

8.1. Introduction (1/5 of the text): this part states the problem, describes goals and objectives, gives a brief review of the international publications related to the matter, and proves its relevance.

8.2. Study objects and methods (1/5 of the text)

8.3. Results and discussion (3/5 of the text, including the Conclusion): this section should provide a concise description of experimental data. Rather than repeating the data of tables and graphs, the text should seek to reveal the principles detected. It is recommended to use the past indefinite verb tense in describing the results. The discussion should not reiterate the results; as a rule, this section interprets the research results, checks their correspondence to the hypothesis, generalizes the data, contains proposals for practical application, outlines future research, etc.

8.4. Conclusion: briefly summarize the main results of your research. Naturally, the conclusion should contain the answer to the question posed by the introduction.

9. Authorship and Contribution: specify the contribution of each author of your manuscript. 

10. Conflicts of interests: this section indicates a real or potential conflict of interests. If there is no conflict of interests, you should write that “the author declares that there is no conflict of interests regarding the publication of this article”.

Indicate DOI, if available.

Self-citation should be well-justified and cannot exceed 10% of the references.

Unpublished works, textbooks, and conference proceedings are not referenced.

Zero references to foreign authors or very recent sources (2-3 years old) reduce your chances. Make sure that your reference list reflects the real contribution of domestic and foreign scientists to the problem you write about.

The Russian reference list follows State Standard  P 7.0.5-2008  «Bibliographic record. Bibliographic description. General requirements and rules for compiling».

Use Vancouver style for Non-Russian sources (consult EndNote or Mendeley). Multiple authors are listed separated by commas, unless there are more than six authors, in which case mention the first six authors, then add “et al.”  Only the first letter of the first word in the title is capitalized. Capitalize any proper nouns and certain other types of words but use lowercase for everything else. Do not abbreviate the titles of journals. Start the imprint with the publication year, then give the number of the volume after a semicolon without spaces. After that, specify the issue number in parenthesis, put a colon, and give page numbers. DOI reference comes last, if available.

For Russian-language sources, use automatic transliteration systems and translators: to translate the Cyrillic alphabet into Latin, use free transliteration programs (http://www.translitteration.com, http://www.law.net.ru/translit, etc.) that follow the Board of Geographic Names (BGN) system.

Retraction can be initiated by Authors, Readers, Reviewers, Editors, or Publisher by appealing to the editorial board.

The Editors start the retraction procedure if:

• there is clear evidence that the published information is unreliable, either as a result of deliberate actions, e.g., data falsification, or accidents, e.g. faulty calculations or experiments);

• a duplicate publication is about to occur, i.e. the findings have been previously published, and there is no proper reference or authorization for re-publication;

• the article is plagiarized;

• the article describes unethical research.

The main purpose of the retraction is to correct the published information and ensure its integrity, not to punish the Authors who committed violations.

Retraction procedure:

Retraction can be initiated by Authors, Readers, Reviewers, Editors and Publishers by an appeal to the Editorial Board.

The Committee on Conflict Resolution considers the appeal.

The Committee on Conflict Resolution confirms the retraction of the published article if they find sufficient facts in favor of the retraction.

The Committee on Conflict Resolution notifies the initiator about the results.

The Journal publishes a note of retraction indicating the metadata of the article in question.

The Editors notify databases about the retraction and its reasons.

7.  Committee on Conflict Resolution

Violation of publication ethics requires a mandatory investigation, be it the fault of Publisher, Editors, Chief Editor, Reviewers, or Authors. This applies to both published articles and unpublished manuscripts. The Editorial Office calls a Committee on Conflict Resolution to resolve issues and complaints related to possible violations of the principles of Editorial Ethics. The chairman and members are appointed by voting from the members of the editorial board. The Committee on Conflict Resolution considers complaints from Authors, Readers, Reviewers, Editors, and Publisher.

Authors are fully liable in accordance with the current legislation for any violation of intellectual property and copyrights.

You can publish an initial draft of your manuscript on non-commercial and publicly available preprint servers, e.g. bioRxiv, arXiv, or related repositories. Do not forget to inform the Editorial Board before submission and provide a link to the preprint. After your manuscript has been edited according to the review and published in the Journal, you cannot post it on any preprint servers lest it should be regarded as a duplicate publication. When citing your article after publication, please make sure to add an active link to the website of the Journal.

The Corresponding Author is responsible for communication with the editors, guarantees that all requirements of the Journal are met, promptly answers any questions, and provides the necessary information.

The Corresponding Author shall guarantee that all the co-Authors have seen the final version of the manuscript, approved it, and agreed to its submission for publication.

After that, the manuscript goes to the Chief Editor, who assesses its topic, scientific character, reliability, validity, representativeness, completeness, coherence, language, style, and implementation of the research objective. The Chief Editor then appoints two reviewers for a double-blind peer review, which means that the authors do not know the reviewers and the reviewers do not know the authors. Reviewers guarantee objectivity, anonymity, and confidentiality and consider the possibility of a conflict of interests.

The double-blind peer review can be conducted by the members of the Editorial Board or by acknowledged academic specialists (doctors, professors) in the specific sphere, who have had recent publications on the related topic.

Each Reviewer uses the following criteria to accept a manuscript for publication: relevance, novelty, and significance; type of the article and its contents; compliance with the subject of the Journal; use of strategizing methodology; clarity of presentation; reliability of the results and the completeness of the conclusions; title, abstract, and references. After that, each Reviewer makes a reasoned conclusion: to recommend the manuscript for publication / to recommend the article after revision / NOT to recommend the manuscript for publication.

If at least one of the Reviewers claims that the article has to undergo a considerable revision, it will be returned to the same Reviewer for the second check-up after it has been improved by the Author. The manuscript can be rejected after two negative reviews. In this case, the Author receives a substantiated refusal or a copy of the review. The Reviewer's name may be reported to the author only if the Reviewer gives consent to it.

Papers accepted for publication are published in priority sequence, according to the acceptance date. In exceptional circumstances, the Editors retain the right to change the publication order.

The content of the issue is approved by the Chief Editor. All manuscripts undergo stylistic and grammatical editing. The layout of the manuscript is sent to the Author for final confirmation.

The journal only publishes the manuscripts recommended by the reviewers.

«Double-blind» peer review.

The reviewer is appointed by the editor-in-chief or the deputy editor. Both the members of the editorial board and highly qualified scientists and specialists from other organizations and enterprises can be invited for reviewing manuscripts.

They have to have profound professional knowledge and experience of work in the specific field of science and be doctors of sciences and professors.

The reviewers are notified about the manuscripts being the authors' private owner rights and not being subject to public disclosure. The reviewers are not allowed to copy the articles for their private needs. Reviewing is performed confidentially. Violation of confidentiality is impossible unless the reviewer declares unreliability or counterfeiting of the article's materials.

The term for the article consideration should not exceed three months from the date of starting the reviewing process.

If the reviewer points out, that improvement is necessary the article is sent to the author for follow-on revision. In this case the return date of the modified article is considered the date of the article submission.

If, on the recommendation of the reviewer, the article underwent a considerable revision by the author, it is again sent to the reviewer who gave the critical remarks. The editorial board reserves the right to reject the articles in case of the author's inability or unwillingness to take into account the editor's recommendations.

In case of two negative manuscript reviews from different experts or one negative review on the article's modified variant it is rejected without considering by other members of the editorial board. After reviewing the possibility of publication is decided upon by the editor-in-chief or, in case of necessity, by the editorial board altogether.

The author of the rejected article is sent a motivated refusal by the official responsible for issuing. The reviewer's name may be reported to the author provided that the former gives consent to it.

The editorial board reserves the right to reject the articles in case of the author's inability or unwillingness to take into account the editor's recommendations.

In case of two negative manuscript reviews from different experts or one negative review on the article's modified variant it is rejected without considering by other members of the editorial board.
