REQUIREMENTS FOR ARTICLE MANUSCRIPTS
   The total volume of the manuscript should be no more than 15 pages.
   The manuscript of the article consists of a title page, which contains title of the article, initials, surnames, ORCID, authors, postal address of the institution where the work was performed, classification indices according to PACS and UDC systems, e-mail address of one of the authors; abstracts with keywords in Ukrainian and English (the abstract in the language of the article is placed on the title page, the abstract together with the title of the article, initials and surnames of the authors, postal address of the institution and keywords in the second language - at the end of the manuscript); the main text of the article, which should be structured; a list of references with links to DOI, if assigned; captions under figures; tables; figures: graphs, photographs. 
   Conclusions should not repeat the abstract. The abstract should be at least 1800 characters long. It should reflect the problem statement, research methods, main scientific results and conclusions.
   In Ukrainian-language articles, captions for figures and tables are duplicated in English. If the text contains Cyrillic or non-English-language citations, a list of references and a REFERENCES section are provided. In their absence − only the REFERENCES section. 
   When citing Cyrillic or non-English-language references in REFERENCES, the author's (official) English version of the title of the work and the names of the authors should be given.
