The journal accepts manuscripts that correspond to its scope, as indicated by the UDC (Universal Decimal Classification) code placed in the upper left corner.

Only articles of scientific, applied scientific, and practical value are considered for publication. An author may submit only one original research article per issue, which must not have been published previously.

Manuscript preparation requirements

The article must include the structural elements of a scientific paper in accordance with the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated 15 January 2003, No. 7-05/01 “On strengthening requirements for scholarly journals included in the HAC lists”:

  • Problem statement
  • Analysis of recent research and publications
  • Aim, objectives, and research methodology
  • Research results
  • Conclusions and prospects for further research in this area

To enhance citation metrics, the editorial board recommends submitting manuscripts in English.

Manuscript structure

  • Title of the article in Ukrainian (uppercase, bold, 12 pt, centred, one line below author information).
  • Abstract in Ukrainian (5–7 sentences) and keywords (5–7 items). The abstract should be in bold, 11 pt; the phrase “Keywords” should be in bold italics (justified). Keywords must be separated by semicolons and not exceed 250 characters (including phrases).
