Requirements For Articles

The structure of the article should contain the following elements:

  • stating the problem and its actuality;
  • analysis of previous research, with which the author worked;
  • isolating aspects that haven’t yet been studied sufficiently;
  • formulation of goals and objectives of the article;
  • presentation of the main material with the justification of the results;
  • conclusions, recommendations, prospects for further research;
  • list of sources used.

The volume of publication (text of the article without abstract and references) – from 0.4 (16 000 characters) to one printed sheet (40 000 characters with spaces).

Specification. The text must be typed on a computer (Microsoft Office Word 2003 or later). Font: Times New Roman, size – 12 pt., line spacing – 1. All margins – 2.5 cm. Indentation – 1 cm.

Material presentation:

1) the author's name in full (left-aligned, bold, 10 pt.);

2) academic status, academic degree, position (left-aligned, 10 pt.);

3) place of work: name of the institution, locality (left-aligned, 10 pt.);

4) email (left-aligned, italic, 10 pt.);

5) ORCID: (left-aligned, italic, 10 pt.)

6) title of the publication (centered, half-bold, 12 pt., capital letters, without paragraph);

Important! Please note that, in accordance with the requirements of editorial ethics, the list of authors should indicate the persons who have made a significant contribution to the scientific research presented in the article. Academic status, position, or another seniority indicator should not determine the order in this list; the order of authors should indicate the leadership and value of the contribution of researchers to this scientific work.

Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, do not meet our authorship requirements. The attribution of authorship carries a responsibility for the paper that cannot be adequately applied to LLMs. The use of an LLM in research should be appropriately documented in the Methods section of the manuscript, or in a suitable alternative part if a Methods section is not available.

7) the word “Abstract.” (half-bold, 10 pt.). In the same line – the annotation of article of no less than 1800 symbols (usual font, justification according to width, 10 pt., argins left and right – 1 cm.);

8) the word “Keywords:” (half-bold, 10 pt.). In the same line – keywords – 5-8 terms separated by “;” (usual font, justification according to width, 10pt., margins left and right – 1 cm.);

9) text body (usual font, justification according to width, 12pt.);

10) list of references in English and transliterated from original language. The phrase “REFERENCES” (left-aligned, capital letters, half-bold, 12 pt.). The list of references below the text of the article is arranged in alphabetical order (usual font, justification according to width, 12pt.).

11) in the reference list, we recommend using at least 40% of publications in the journals indexed in Scopus/WoS, which demonstrates the awareness of the author (s) on the chosen topic at the international level. Russian publications cannot be used and listed as a reference because of the Russian military agression in Ukraine.

Important! Names and surnames of authors have to be transliterated in Latin from Ukrainian language according to the new standard of transliteration KMU 2010 (http://translit.kh.ua/?passport);

Translated and transliterated in Latin a list of references (12 pt.) from original language is presented as following:

  • the names of authors and proper nouns (magazines, publishing houses) are to be transliterated in Latin;
  • the names of articles, conferences – translated in English;
  • after each reference in square brackets it is necessary to specify the language of the original source – (in Ukrainian).

For transliteration we recommend to use the following online services:

11) title of the publication, the author's name, abstract and keywords in Ukrainian (the elements are executed in the same way as in English).

Recommendations for list of references used in text body:

Every source on the list must be done by APA (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association) standard:

  • When a book, article, or other source lists only one author, simply provide the author's last name followed by the publication date, p. x / pp. x–y, e.g. (Morze, 2014, р. 23).
  • If the last name of the author is included in the sentence, then the year of the publication should be included in the parenthesis, e.g. Morze (2015) compared various periodical literature.
  • When a source lists two authors, in-text citations should provide the last names of both authors and the publication date, p. x / pp. x–y, e.g. (Strunk, White, 2000, рр. 23-25).
  • While quoting the source prepared by three of more authors, the last name of the first author needs to be included adding „et al“, and the year of the publication after comma, p. x / pp. x–y, e.g. (Geer et al., 2013, р. 23).
  • When an association, community, governmental organization or other institution is indicated as the publisher but not a concrete author, the collective authorship needs to be indicated, p. x / pp. x–y, e.g. (American psychological association, 2003, р. 23).

Page numbers are not given when:

  • Referring to the website which has not got page numbers;
  • Referring to the subject of the whole book, and page numbers cannot be specified.

In any other situation (for instance, in paraphrasing), page numbers are required.
