The references in the text are based on the sample (Surname, year), for example: one author - (Vinson, 1997), two authors - (Vargo & Laurel, 1994; Vargo & Hulsey, 2000), three and more authors - (Jones et al. , 1978; Davis et al., 1989). 

Introduction

The introduction should contain  a description of the problem research in world scientific literature (at least 5 references to English articles in international journals for the recent 5 years). End the introduction  with  the purpose of the article or the hypotheses formulated before the beginning of the study. 

Materials and methods

The section should give the opportunity to repeat the entire volume of the  research to verify the author's article data. It can, if necessary, be subdivided into divisions. The section should create a coherent idea that the author of the article is aware of all possible sources of errors that may affect the results of the research. 

Results

The section may, if necessary, be subdivided into divisions. The  requirements for writing this section are general, as well as for all international scientific publications.

Results and Discussion can not be combined into one section of the article. 

Discussion

It is necessary to summarize the results, compare them with 10-20 results of other studies.

Briefly describe the drawbacks  that most often occur in manuscripts.

1. The Latin names of genera and species are in italics, the author's surname and the year of the description of the species - in normal print.
2. You can not refer to a table or a drawing as a separate sentence.
3. It is necessary to avoid the unnecessary words in the sentences. This is true of larger text fragments.

4 The  units of measurement of the SI system are given without a point (m, g, ha, mol), and non-standardized units - with reductions (ex. / M2, etc.).

5. It is necessary to distinguish the symbols "-", "-" and "-". The first of them is not used in manuscripts.
6. It is advisable not to use the reduction of scientific terms in the article.
7. The names of tables and drawings (with notes to them) should be "exhaustive", "self-sufficient". The reader does not have to re-read «Materials and methods» or the title of an article to understand the table or drawing, to determine the repetition of the research and understand what is shown after the plus or minus: standard error, mean square deviation or error (SE, SD or m) .
8. The article may be rejected by reviewers due to the lack of proper statistical processing of the primary data.
9. It is not recommended to use the passive pledge in the text: "samples were selected" - "samples were taken".
10. If you have any questions about the design or presentation of certain data in the article, you can take the last issue of the magazine as a model.

Conclusion

5-10 sentences are better to write in solid text. Please check the matching of abstract sentences

The procedure for reviewing articles

Scientific articles submitted to the editorial board are subject to review. The form of reviewing articles is blind reviewing manuscripts of articles by two leading specialists in the corresponding field of science.

The editorial board determines the compliance of the journal's profile with the requirements for registration, sends it for review to a doctor or a candidate of sciences, which has close to the subject of the article scientific specialization. The editor-in-chief within three working days informs the authors about the receipt of the electronic version of the article by the editorial board. The terms of a  review in each individual case are determined taking into account the employment of reviewers for the fastest publication of the article (usually from  one to two weeks). The following aspects of future publication should be identified in the review:

-  whether the content of the article corresponds to its title;

- how much the article corresponds to the modern achievements of science;

- whether an article is available to researchers from the point of view of language, style, location of material, tables, drawings, etc .;

- whether the publication of the article is expedient in the light of previously published literature on this issue;

- what exactly the positive features are, as well as the shortcomings of the article, which corrections and additions should be made by the author;

- conclusion about the possibility of publishing the manuscript: "recommended", "recommended, taking into account corrections and deficiencies noted by the reviewer" or "not recommended.

In case of rejection of the article, the editorial board sends the author a motivated rejection.

The  article, not recommended by the reviewer prior to publication, is not accepted for re-examination.

The presence of a positive review is not a sufficient condition for the publication of the article. The final decision on the expediency of publication is taken by the editorial board.

After the decision on the publication is made, the responsible editor informs the authors about it, specifies the terms of publication and payment.
