The following types of manuscripts can be submitted to the journal:
- Research paper, which is a final report on the finished original experimental study (the structure is Abstract, Introduction, Literature review, Method, Results, Discussion, Conclusion);
- Theoretical paper, which is devoted to theoretical study of the problem, which complies with the journal’s scope (the structure is Abstract, Introduction, Theoretical Basis, Results, Discussion, Conclusion);
- Review paper, which is a study of concrete scientific problem, which complies with the journal’s scope and is conducted based on the materials of the scientific publications (the structure is Abstract, Introduction, Literature review, generalization of the main statements, Discussion, Conclusion);
- Short communication paper on the event (conference, seminar, exhibition, issue of the important monograph), which complies with the journal’s scope (the paper is structured by the author in his/her own, but with compulsory reference to the date and place of the event, however, it does not include a big list of references and supplementary materials).

Please, try hard to send a manuscript with good level of English. Well-written manuscripts will let editors and reviewers concentrate on their academic value.
Title:
The title of the manuscript should fully reflect the topic of the research and its content. It must be short and concrete. Besides it should catch the reader’s interest and it should be written using the scientific style. It is appropriate to point the object of research or concretize it using the colon or the brackets. It is not recommended to use contractions, but if used, then only for the commonly known ones.
Authors:
Write full name with capitalized for each word and the end with superscript small number. In the next line with superscript small number, the information about each author are write down (Affiliation and Email Addressed). Please be appointed a corresponding author.
Abstract:
The abstract should not only indicate the subject and scope of the paper, but also summarize the author’s conclusion. Structured abstract must be a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of the article. It allows readers to survey the contents of an article quickly. An Abstract summarizes the major aspects of a paper. It should succinctly summarize the purpose of the paper, the methods used, the major results, and conclusions. The text should be concise and original. It is not appropriate to use the sentences in the Abstract from the text of the paper. At the same time, the material which is absent in the paper cannot be presented in the Abstract. It is advisable not to refer to any sources in the abstract, tables and figures cannot be also used. The number of words must not more than 300 words.
Keywords:
The purpose of keywords is to provide the insight to the reader into the contents of the paper. They should reflect the area of the research. The number of keywords should be 3-7 in average. There should not be the sentences, but the words or word groups.
Introduction:
Both scientific issues and the relevance of the research should be substantiated and explained in the introduction. Also, a problem statement and aims should be pointed out. The aim describes main results in a short and concrete manner (in one sentence), the achievement of which is the purpose of the research. Here can also be mentioned several intermediate problems, the solution of which will ensure that the aim is achieved.
Literature Review:
Literature review provides an analysis and generalization of relevant works (papers, monographs, reports, theses, etc.), which describe the essence of the problem and/or give an understanding on the previous efforts to solve it. The Literature Review should comply with the aim of the research (“fitness for purpose”) and represent the results of critical analysis of the analytical base for testing the research hypothesis.
Only those sources are given and analyzed in the paper, which really are valuable for the author’s research. The author cannot just make long lists of authors and their works, which are related to the investigated issues. The author cannot take the pieces of review text from other works with reference to other authors and include their works in the list of references. When citing, the author is obliged to observe ethical and moral principles.
It is recommended to finish the literature review with the presentation of unsolved issues, identification of contradictions in the results and findings of the previous researches, justification of the need to continue the studies in this area and choice of the specific topic (direction) of this study
Methodology:
The methodology of the study is indicated in this section, which author uses in the research, and/or the methodology offered by the author himself is described in a short and concrete manner. If methods and procedures offered are used in other works, the author should refer to the original sources.
In theoretical paper the theoretical basis of the research should be described, theories, perspectives, formulae, equations should be presented.
If commonly known statistic procedures are used in the paper, the author should not describe their essence, it is sufficient just to point them.
Results:
Here empirical or theoretical data obtained in the process of the research are given. It is recommended to use figures, tables, graphs, schemes. The interpretation of the obtained results is not made in this section. Also, there should not be presented the results, which were earlier obtained by the authors or other scientists.
Discussion:
Here the interpretation of the results obtained during the research is made. A comparison is made with the results obtained by other researchers.
Conclusion:
In this section the main ideas of the manuscript are presented, the obtained results and their novelty are demonstrated. The possibility of practical use of the obtained results should be outlined and the directions for further scientific research should be offered.
Acknowledgement (s):
The Acknowledgement section should specify the individuals or institutions, who have also contributed to the article. All acknowledged individuals should agree to be acknowledged.
References:
The list of references must be made in the alphabetical order and use APA 6th Edition formatting.
