In order to prevent the phenomena known as "ghostwriting" and "guest authorship", the Editorial Board pays special attention to the reliability of scientific publications and requires the mention of authors/co-authors who have made a significant contribution to the publication.

We also ask you to provide information about the sources of funding for the publication, the contribution of research institutions, associations, and other entities.

All materials sent to the editorial office are anonymously evaluated by two reviewers

MAKING FOOTNOTES:

We place footnotes in the main text as follows:

[name, year of publication, volume: pages], e.g. [Карскій 1922, III-3: 123]

PREPARING THE BIBLIOGRAPHY LIST:

The author compiles one list of bibliography (Bibliography, Bibliografia, Бібліяграфія) for the entire work. The order of bibliographic items should be alphabetical, according to the names of the authors or the titles of collective works. Editors of collective works should be marked with an abbreviation in the language consistent with the publication (Ed., Red., Рэд.) Before their surname. The list should only include works that are referred to or cited in the text. Subsequent works should not be numbered/bulleted, each new work should be started with a new paragraph.

Bibliographic items written in Cyrillic characters in the bibliography must be supplemented by the transliterated variant in accordance with PN-ISO 9: 2000. We transliterate automatically at https://www.ushuaia.pl/transliterate/ (PN-ISO 9: 2000 system). The transliterated variant should be followed by the original in square brackets.
