4. ABSTRACT, KEYWORDS

Background (research prerequisites, relevance and goal).
Methods.
Results.
Сonclusions.

See abstract requirements in the EASE (European Association of Scientific Editors) Guidelines for Authors and Translators of Scientific Articles to be Published in English and Allan Gaw. Writing an Effective Abstract. A study Guide (extended abstract).

An original research article should be prepared using the IMRAD-structure and should have the following basic elements:

Background (research prerequisites, relevance, goal and objectives of research).
Methods.

Figures should be supplied with explanatory captions (below the figure, in a separate paragraph) and tables should be supplied with thematic titles (above the table, in a separate paragraph). Figure captions and thematic titles should be concise and informative and should reflect the content of figures and tables. Each figure or table should be referred to in the main text of the article, with indication of its sequence number, e.g., for example: (Table 1), (Fig. 1).

If the article is accepted for publication, the authors should upload separate high-resolution .tif or .jpg files with all figures.

(Brown, 2017, vol. 2).

Multiple references should be separated by semicolon, alphabetically, by the first letter of the author’s last name of each source or title of the work for publications without authors. For example, researchers studied a problem:

(Freeberg, 2019; Grady et al., 2019).
