GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ARTICLE DESIGN

Article volume – from 14 to 30 A4 pages, incl. abstracts, tables, figures, and bibliographic lists. If the article contains significant research findings, it can be extended by the decision of the editorial board.

All margins – 2.0 cm; line spacing – 1.5; Times New Roman – 14; paragraph indention – 1.25 cm (it is not allowed creating indent using the Tab key and space characters); text is justified. It is mandatory to use dashes in the text, not hyphens, between numbers to indicate quantitative limits from...to (e.g., 10 – 15 tons) or time interval (e.g., 2010 – 2015). It is essential to insert non-breaking spaces (Ctrl+Shift+Space) between initials, as well as between initials and surname (e.g., Ivanenko I. I.), numbers and units of measurement (e.g., 10 kg, 23 °С), dates (e.g., XX c.).

Formulas should be designed using Equation Editor, which is Microsoft Word’s internal formula editor. The components of in-text formulas are in italics.

Tables and figures must have a title and serial number. They are placed after the first reference to them in the text. References to the table and figures are given in parentheses (Table 1, Fig. 1). The figure should be in the center and have a name (Fig. 1. Name of the drawing).

In-text references are designed as follows (Surname, year). For example, one author – Biró, 2014), two authors – (Kahmen & Poschlod, 2008), three and more authors – (Zlobin et al., 2009; Trnka et al., 2016).

Additional text requirements:

• it is recommended to use active voice in the text;
• there should be a non-breaking interval (!) between values and the abbreviated name of measurement units;

• the abbreviation should be indicated in the text in brackets after the first mention of the corresponding full phrase; it is important to distinguish between the symbols “-”, “–”, and “—” within the manuscript. The latter is not used in the manuscripts;
• abbreviations of scientific terms are not allowed;
• it is mandatory to use internationally recognized signs and symbols (SI units);
• taxon and syntaxon names are in italics. The full name of the taxon is given only once at first reference (Quercus robur L.). Further as the text goes, the name of the species is given in an abbreviated form - Q. robur.

 

ARTICLE STRUCTURE:

! If the article has several co-authors, information about the author is provided for each of them separately.

 

Article elements (with a separate indication within the text):

1) Introduction (problem statement in general and its relation to important scientific or practical tasks, analysis of recent research and publications, the research goal). These elements comprise the introduction part but are not highlighted as individual elements. During the analysis of recent works and publications, there must be at least 15 contributions published in the last five years with doi, predominantly in English. 2) Methodology/Methods (source material, research methodology and research conditions). The section should contain detailed and complete information about the research course and methods. If necessary, the section is divided into sub-sections. 3) Results (presentation of research findings). It involves tables and figures.4) Discussion (substantiation of research findings and their comparison with the available ones in the same or related fields). It is essential to generalize results and compare them with 10-20 results of other studies).! “Results” and “Discussion” cannot be combined into one section.5) Conclusions (presentation of basic research findings; the focus is on novelty and practical application of data obtained, as well as on prospects of further research in the same field. The section consists of 5-10 sentences which are presented as a straight text.6) References

 

1) The list is given alphabetical.

2) The total number of items is at least 30 for an original contribution and 100 for a review.
