Text editor – no lower than Microsoft Office 2003, font - Times New Roman (size 12 for title, 9 for annotation, keywords and source list, 11 - for text). File format - .DOC, .DOCX or .RTF. If non-standard fonts were used when typing, be sure to provide their full name or the font itself (standard Windows location: local drive C: / Windows / Fonts).

Formatting
The text is typed without hyphenation. Paragraph indents should be formatted according to the following algorithm: select the required text; in the "Paragraph" dialog box set the following parameters: alignment - width, indentation on the right - 0 cm, indentation on the left - 0 cm, spacing before - 0 pt, spacing after - 0 pt, line spacing - 1 line, indentation of the first line - 0 , 75 cm. It is forbidden to format paragraphs with spaces and tabs.
Create tables automatically via the menu "Table - Insert table" and number sequentially. To the right above the name of the table to place the inscription "Table" indicating its number (highlight in italics). The title of the table should be given in the middle of the page symmetrically to the text, highlighted in bold. All tables must be referenced in the text (“Table….”, “Table…”, “Table…”).

Figures must be uploaded as separate files (one per figure) and accompanying legends should be included in the main article file (with consecutive numbering in Arabic numerals and signature "Fig.…", "Photo…", "Scheme…").

If any figures contain sub-sections (e.g. parts a, b, etc), these should be grouped together in one file. Any supplementary information should be combined and supplied as a single separate file.

When typing the following general rules must be observed:
– Put only one space between the words.
– Distinguish between dashes (–) and hyphens (-). A hyphen is a sign that connects parts of complex words. When printed, it is marked with a small horizontal line (-) and is not separated by spaces from words. A dash is a punctuation mark used to indicate direct speech, pauses. The dashes in the text must be separated by spaces on both sides.
– Do not separate from the previous figure the sign of the degree, minute, second, percentage (25 °; 5 '; 30' '; 77%).
– It is necessary to separate characters and letters to denote volumes, parts, paragraphs, paragraphs, page numbers, etc. by a continuous space (simultaneously pressing Ctrl + Shift + Space), from the next digit (Vol. 7; Part 23; § 5; № 34; C 28-30); generally accepted designations of units of measurement from the previous figure (45 poods; 150 UAH; 32 km; 6 million; 45 thousand).

– It is necessary to separate the initials and surname with an inseparable space (V. Pichon); abbreviations after lists (type, etc., etc.), before names and surnames (Brad, V. Vynnychenko), before geographical names (Washington, Europe).
– Abbreviations such as 80's, 2nd must be printed with a hyphen (simultaneously pressing the keys Strl + Shift + Hyphen).

–Quotation marks are used in the “” variant.
– The apostrophe should look like this: '.
– Arabic or Roman numerals are used according to tradition.
– Dates are given through dashes without spaces. In combinations of decades, dashes with spaces are placed between the dates: 40's – 50's, 1940's – 60's. Years that do not coincide with the calendar are given through a slash (1997/98 academic year; 2012/13 budget year).
–Time and numerical intervals must be separated by dashes without spaces (July–August; 36–44).
– In digital data containing more than five digits, an inseparable space is placed after every three digits (13,255; 457,357; 46,532.5 kg.)
– Any clarifications, comments, selections, etc. made by the author, which are inserted into the citation, should be made according to the following template: [text. – Author].

Every article that contains statistical testing should state the name of the statistical test, the n value for each statistical analysis, the comparisons of interest, a justification for the use of that test (including, for example, a discussion of the normality of the data when the test is appropriate only for normal data), the alpha level for all tests, whether the tests were one-tailed or two-tailed, and the actual P value for each test (not merely "significant" or "P < 0.05"). It should be clear what statistical test was used to generate every P value. Use of the word "significant" should always be accompanied by a P value; otherwise, use "substantial," "considerable," etc.
Datasets should be summarized with descriptive statistics, which should include the n value for each data set, a clearly labelled measure of centre (such as the mean or the median), and a clearly labelled measure of variability (such as standard deviation or range). Ranges are more appropriate than standard deviations or standard errors for small data sets. Graphs should include clearly labelled error bars. Authors must state whether a number that follows the ± sign is a standard error (s.e.m.) or a standard deviation (s.d.).
Authors must justify the use of a particular test and explain whether their data conform to the assumptions of the tests. Three errors are particularly common:

• Multiple comparisons: When making multiple statistical comparisons on a single data set, authors should explain how they adjusted the alpha level to avoid an inflated Type I error rate, or they should select statistical tests appropriate for multiple groups (such as ANOVA rather than a series of t-tests);
• Normal distribution: Many statistical tests require that the data be approximately normally distributed; when using these tests, authors should explain how they tested their data for normality. If the data do not meet the assumptions of the test, then a non-parametric alternative should be used instead;
• Small sample size: When the sample size is small (less than about ten), authors should use tests appropriate to small samples or justify their use of large-sample tests.

Bibliographic reference is a set of bibliographic information about another document cited, considered or mentioned in the text, which is necessary and sufficient for its general characterization, identification and search.


All submissions should follow the journal's style of in-text parenthetical citations, followed by a complete list of works cited at the end of the paper. The journal does not permit numbered referencing. Authors should ensure that all references cited in the article text are included in a reference list at the end of the paper.

References will not be copy-edited prior to publication. All cited references will be linked electronically to external databases where possible, making correct formatting of the references essential. Incorrectly formatted references may result in errors or delays in the typesetting and publication process.

If the manuscript includes personal communications, authors should provide a written statement of permission (e-mail format, if permissible) from any person who is quoted, with their submission. The personal communication should be indicated by an endnote.

Please use the referencing style outlined: REFERENCES.

The bibliographic reference should contain the following elements:

– information about the series (issue number, issue, volume);
– the pages to which the link is made or the total number of pages (with a link to the entire document).
The names of the authors should be highlighted in italics. The surname precedes the initials. An inseparable space must be placed between the initials and between the initials and the surname. The individual blocks of the bibliographic reference should be separated by a semicolon.

All bibliographic references must be submitted in the original language. In the case of repeated references to different works of one author, an abbreviated entry is used (author, the first two or three words of the title, three dots, dashes, page). Repeated references to a multivolume document should indicate the author, title, volume number (issue, book), page. If the re-reference is immediately after the original, its text is replaced by the words "Ibid", "Ibid" (depending on the language of the source to which they refer). In the repeated link to another page, the page number is added to the specified words. In the repeated reference to the work of one, two or three authors, which does not follow the original reference, the surname and initials of the authors, the words “ Op. cit. ” and pages.
Bibliographic references included in the complex reference are placed in alphabetical order and separated from each other by a semicolon. If the complex reference includes several references to the same author (authors), then in the second and subsequent references his surname and initials are replaced by "His", "Her", "Their".

Article that meets the requirements for publication in a scientific journal

1.Review article
Review articles provide a critical and constructive analysis of existing published literature in a field, through summary, analysis, and comparison, often identifying specific gaps or problems and providing recommendations for future research. Review articles can be of three types, broadly speaking: literature reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.

For narrative reviews or literature reviews, the length could range anywhere between 8000 to 40,000 words while systematic reviews are usually less than 10,000 words long.

2. Clinical case study
Clinical case studies present the details of real patient cases from medical or clinical practice. The cases presented are usually those that contribute significantly to the existing knowledge on the field. The study is expected to discuss the signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of a disease.
These are considered primary literature and usually have a word count similar to that of an original article. Clinical case studies require a lot of practical experience and may not be a suitable publication format for early career researchers.

3. Clinical trial
Once again, specific to the field of medicine, clinical trials describe the methodology, implementation, and results of controlled studies, usually undertaken with large patient groups.
Clinical trial articles are also long, usually of about the same length as an original research article. Clinical trials also require practical work experience, as well as, high standards of ethics and reliability. So this format is more useful for experienced researchers.

4. Perspective, opinion, and commentary
Perspective pieces are scholarly reviews of fundamental concepts or prevalent ideas in a field. These are usually essays that present a personal point of view critiquing widespread notions pertaining to a field. A perspective piece can be a review of a single concept or a few related concepts. These are considered as secondary literature and are usually short articles, around 2000 words.

Opinion articles present the author’s viewpoint on the interpretation, analysis, or methods used in a particular study. It allows the author to comment on the strength and weakness of a theory or hypothesis. Opinion articles are usually based on constructive criticism and should be backed by evidence. Such articles promote discussion on current issues concerning science. These are also relatively short articles.

Commentaries are short articles usually around 1000-1,500 words long that draw attention to or present a criticism of a previously published article, book, or report, explaining why it interested them and how it might be illuminating for readers.

5. Book review
The aim of a book review is to provide insight and opinion on recently published scholarly books. Book reviews are also relatively short articles and less time-consuming. Book reviews are a good publication option for early-career researchers as it allows the researcher to stay abreast of new literature in the field, while at the same time, adding to his publication list.
