Author Guidelines

Articles submitted to the scientific journal Bulletin of the National University of Water and Environmental Engineering. Agricultural Sciences are accepted according to the following schedule: Issue 1 – by 15 April; Issue 2 – by 15 September; Issue 3 – by 15  December.

Only manuscripts that correspond to the scope of the journal, as defined by the assigned UDC classification (indicated in the upper left corner), are considered for publication.

Submissions must present scientific, applied, and practical relevance. Each author may submit only one original manuscript per issue, which must not have been previously published.

The views expressed in the articles do not necessarily reflect those of the Editorial Board. Manuscripts that do not meet the stated requirements will not be considered. Rejected submissions are neither returned to authors nor subject to review.

Manuscripts must contain the structural elements of a scientific article in accordance with the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated 15 January 2003 No. 7-05/01 “On Enhancing Requirements for Professional Publications Included in the VAK List”.

To improve citation impact, the Editorial Board recommends that manuscripts be submitted in English.

The manuscript should be structured in the following order:

  • UDC index, in bold 12 pt font (left-aligned);
  • JEL classification code(s) (https://www.aeaweb.org/jel/guide/jel.php), in bold 12 pt font (right-aligned);

The total length must not exceed 250 characters (including spaces). For manuscripts written in a language other than Ukrainian, an extended Ukrainian abstract of at least 1800 characters (including keywords) is required;
  • Main text of the article, justified, 12 pt font, with 1.0 line spacing; paragraph indent – 1 cm.

  • The reference list is set in 10 pt font and placed at the end of the article. In-text citations are mandatory (e.g. [4]). The reference list must comply with DSTU 8302:2015 standards.

    Each reference must be cited at least once in the text. Absence of in-text citations may result in rejection. References are listed consecutively and numbered in brackets [1]. Automated citation tools are not permitted.
