2.2. Availability of the full volume of metadata is mandatory.

2.3. ALL METADATA ARE SUBMITTED ONLY IN TWO LANGUAGES – UKRAINIAN AND RUSSIAN. METADATA IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARE NOT REQUIRED ! Why this is done

Exception. In order to provide univocal spelling of the authors’ names in English, the editorial staff transliterates author’s name from Russian in accordance with the system recommended by the US Department of State. In the event the author already has official documents (foreign passport, diploma, certificate, etc.) where the author’s name is written in English, the author has to provide it in the information about the author with a note – «Official English spelling»

2.4. Requirements and recommendations with respect to preparation of annotations:

ANNOTATION VOLUME HAS TO BE NOT LESS THAN 900 SYMBOLS (INCLUDING SPACES), BUT NOT MORE THAN 1800 SYMBOLS (0.5 – 1 page). Why this is done

• text of annotation should be concise, clear and free from secondary information;
• annotations give a possibility to get an impression about the basic content of the article, which, sometimes, makes it unnecessary to read the material in full volume. Annotations are used in information (including automated ones) search systems, which provide search of documents and information;
• annotation is a brief and accurate statement of the article content and includes basic factual information and conclusions. Conclusions can be accompanied with recommendations, assessments, proposals and hypotheses, which are stated in the article;
• one of the proved variants of an annotation is a brief repetition of the article structure, which includes introduction, goal and task, methods, results and conclusion. This method of structuring annotations is widely used in foreign journals;
• remember, that annotations written in the languages other than the article language are the only source of information about the contents of the article and results of research stated in it for readers that do not read in the language of the article.

  When writing an abstract, we strongly recommend you guided by the requirements of publishing house Emerald
