The abstract also contains a list of keywords. Key words (5–9 words) are given in the nominative case, printed in lowercase letters per line, separated by commas. Abstract sample. Sample of summary
For scientific articles of postgraduate students we also recommend to attach an annotation in the language of the material published, volume 100–150 words (font size 9 pt, width alignment), according to the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC, Russian: BAK, Latin: VAK) requirements.
2.5. The main text, structured in accordance with the requirements of the Higher Attestation Commission for scientific articles, should consist of three sections.

In this section, the author must conduct a historiographical review in order to prove that predecessor scientists did not have solutions to the problem. The second section is the main part, which should contain the results of the research and their discussion (presentation, analysis, comparison with other results, criticism).

Following the practice of leading world scientific journals, we recommend including in the lists of references only authorized sources (sources with an author) that participate in the citation accounting. In this regard, regulatory legal acts, archival documents, unauthorized Internet resources, technical documentation, video materials should be designed as post-text notes. They do not require references. It is also not recommended to refer to dissertations and dissertation abstracts, since all key provisions of the works of this type must be tested and published in the form of scientific articles, materials of scientific conferences, etc., to which reference should be given.

If the authors type formulas inattentively (for example, an incorrect keyboard layout, in which the letters o, p, x, c, a, signs of mathematical operations, etc. can be typed in Cyrillic instead of Latin and special characters), as a result, spontaneous replacement (disappearance) of characters when transferring text to the layout or when the layout is finally saved in pdf format. There is no way to track this situation, so the editors are not responsible for such failures that occur due to copyright errors when typing the original.
