All pages should be numbered sequentially starting with the title page; the page number should be placed in the lower right corner of each page. The size of an original article, including the list of references, graphs, figures and tables, should not exceed 15 standard printed pages (1 page is 1,800 characters including spaces); a case report – 6 standard pages, a review – 25 pages.
2.1. Title page
2.1.1. Title page includes the title (in capital letters), authors' initials and last names, full name of the institution (s) from which the manuscript is submitted, city, country, postal address, including the postal code. The titles of articles should be informative, only standard abbreviations can be used; untranslatable jargon known only to the Russian-speaking professionals is not acceptable. Indication of authors’ workplace in English (full translated official name of the organization, including the administrative entity)
For the correctness of the information provided, we recommend that the authors check the English-language spelling of the name of the institution on the site grid.ac or on the websites of the institutions themselves in the English part. Google translator also has a dictionary of organizations and can give the correct name of the organization. In English affiliation, no translation is given, prefixes are of the organization type, neither in full nor in abbreviated form (for example, FGUP, Federal State Unitary Interpreneurship ...) if it is not included in the main part of the name (Federal Center ...)..
2.1.2. Information about authors, including full authors' names (last name, first name, academic degrees, positions). Authors' names should be transliterated (using Latin letters).
Each author of the submitted manuscript must have an ORCID ( orcid.org) and indicate it when submitting the manuscript to the journal. If such an identifier is not available to the authors, it is necessary to obtain it by self-registering with this unified global registration system for authors and other participants in the scientific process. The system is open. All data about his education, career, publications are entered into the author’s personal account. It is desirable to make information in English or in two languages. The ORCID is included in the authors' profiles in Scopus and is associated with the DOI of the articles of the author. As soon as a new article of the author is registered in DOI and if there are ORCID authors, the description of the article of this scientist immediately falls into his personal account in the ORCID system. Thus, an array of publications by the author is automatically generated, as well as their quoting in Scopus. Today's ORCID ID is the only way to uniquely identify a scientist’s identity. It plays a particularly important role in accurately identifying common and complex spelling names.
2.1.3. The following information should be provided under the heading "Corresponding author": full name, full mailing address, e-mail; phone number of the author who takes responsibility for communication.
