Manuscript Requirements

Manuscripts must be formatted on A4 pages (using the Microsoft Word text editor) with the following parameters:

  • font – Times New Roman;
  • font size – 12 pt.;
  • paragraph indent – 5 mm;
  • line spacing – single;
  • spacing between paragraphs – 0 pt;
  • margins – 20 mm;
  • alignment – justified;
  • headers and footers – none;
  • page numbers – none.

Citations, tables, statistical data, and numerical indicators that enhance the validity of analytical materials must be provided with references to sources and in a format suitable for editing. Submission of tables as non-editable images is not permitted. Authors bear responsibility for the data presented. All tables must have titles and be numbered according to their order of appearance in the text of the article (in cases where a manuscript contains two or more such elements). Table titles and numbers are placed above the tables, for example: “Table 1. Indicators…”. A reference to each table in the main text of the article is mandatory and should be presented as follows: (Table 1).

Figures must be placed within the text of the article. In addition, each figure must be submitted as a separate image file in JPG, JPEG, or PNG format, with a resolution of 300 dpi and a maximum file size of 2 MB. If a figure is created in MS Office, it must be editable. All figures must have titles and be numbered according to their order of appearance in the text of the article (in cases where a manuscript contains two or more such elements), for example: “Fig. 1. Calculation scheme…”, and should be placed below the figure, centered. A reference to each figure in the text is mandatory and should be presented as follows: (Fig. 1). Figures may be in black and white or in colour.

Formulas must be centered on the page. The formula number is placed on the right at the end of the line, in parentheses. A spacing of one line must be maintained between formulas and the main text. Letters and symbols denoting variables must be typed in italics. References to formulas in the text should be presented as follows: (4), (1)–(3).
