Font – Times New Roman

Font size – 14 pt

Interval – 1

Document margins – 20 mm

 

2. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TITLE OF THE MANUSCRIPT

The title of the manuscript should reflect the essence of the main tasks of research, scientific results and their practical application. The title should attract readers and interest them in further reading your work, so it is necessary to highlight the importance and relevance of research as accurately as possible. Abbreviations of words and abbreviations cannot be used in the title of the manuscript.

 

3. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DESIGN OF FIGURES

Infographics should be presented in separate files, or they can be placed in a doc file. If it is a photo or other image, the file format must be .tiff or .jpg. If it is a figure, diagram or map – the file format should be .ai, .eps, .cdr. If the infographics are submitted only in separate files, then in the manuscript the place where it should be located should be indicated as follows:

[Insert figure 1]

Before a figure, there must be a reference to the figure in the form: Fig. 1, Fig. 2‒4, Fig. 5, a. Before a figure, there should be a link to the figure (in the same chapter/subsection as the figure itself)

The caption under a figure should take the form: Fig. 1. The title of the figure.

If the figure consists of several subfigures, the caption should take the form: Fig. 1. The title of the figure: a ‒ the name of the first subfigure; b ‒ the name of the second subfigure.

If there are designations, abbreviations, or abbreviations in the figure, the transcript of which were not given earlier in the text, then those should be explained in the text under the figure. For example, the figure shows three charts, which are marked, respectively, by numbers 1, 2, and 3. Then the text under the figure should take the form: Fig. 1. Title: 1 ‒ chart 1; b ‒ chart 2; 3 ‒ chart 3.

Text under the figure must be part of the text.

Figures should be streamlined "in text."

The inscriptions in the figure should not be bold or sloping.

All inscriptions in the figure must be written in one font and one size. The exception is screenshots of programs that do not allow one to edit the font.

The indices in the figure should take the same form as the indices in the text.

On the charts, the axes' titles must be moved from the scales to the same distance of at least 0.5 cm.

At least one size (height or width) in the text under the figure should be the same. The horizontally located subfigures should have the same height, and the vertically located ones should have the same width.

Figures must be of good quality (at least 300 dpi). The inscriptions on the figures should be clear and readable, the lines of the figure should not be blurred. There should be no noise in the figure.

The editorial board reserves the right to reject a paper if the authors refuse to provide the original figure files to avoid data falsification (dwg ‒ for COMPAS drawings; SolidWorks, AutoCad, cdr. ‒ for CorelDRAW files; xls/xlsx ‒ for Excel, etc.).
