The article should be prepared in accordance with the requirements listed below and carefully proofread by the author.

The article can be written in Russian or English, the requirements for structure and design are the same for both languages.

Manuscript structure

1. Author(s) (in Russian). When writing names of authors, the surname should follow initials (for example M.V. Kostina). If the list contains more than 4 names, it is required to specify contribution of each author to the paper: the proportion of 100% and the types of work performed by each co-author (it is not published in the journal, it is necessary to evaluate the actual role of each co-author and protection from unreasonable attribution of authorship). The names are arranged in order of decreasing the contribution of the co-authors.

2. Author’s affiliation (in Russian). It is necessary to provide the full official name of the institution (without abbreviations), its postal code, city and country. If authors from different institutions took part in writing the manuscript, it is necessary to correlate the names of institutions and full names of the authors by adding digital indexes in the upper register before the names of the institutions and the names of the respective authors. The name of the institution mentioned first must correspond to the first author’s surname. If the author cooperates with several institutions, it is necessary to indicate those of them which are relevant to the article.

3. The title of the article (in Russian). It should be informative, short enough and reflect the essence of the material. You can only use the conventional abbreviations (for example, y. is year). Abbreviations are not allowed.

4. Abstract (in Russian). The abstract should be of a referential character and accurately reflect the content of the article. The text of the abstract should not contain abbreviations, except for units of measurement. The volume of the abstract can range from 150 to 200 words. If the article describes the original research, the abstract should have a clear structure that corresponds to the structure of the article: relevance, purpose, materials and methods, results, conclusions.

5. Key words (in Russian). These are 5–10 basic terms or personalities that are used in the article and which can be used by the interested reader to quickly find it. Therefore, it is not recommended to include keywords that are common terms for many subject areas or that represent a too wide range of meanings and therefore make it difficult to find your article. If their use is still necessary, it is better to narrow the meaning of these words (for example, not “territory” but “specially protected natural area”, not “architectural model”, and “architectural model of woody plants”, not “gas” but “greenhouse” gases “, not “analysis”, but “geostatic analysis”, etc.).

6. The author (transliteration). The surname and initials of the author should be written in the same way as in previously published works. The names of the authors of the articles in transliterated form should correspond to the authors’ profiles available in databases, so as not to impede their identification and consolidation of data on their publications and quoting under one profile (identifier – author ID). Authors, publishing for the first time, should use the BSI transliteration standard (see clause 13.4.2).

7. Affiliation (in English). It is necessary to indicate the official (written in the organization’s Charter) English-language name of the institution.

8. Name (in English). If you comply with the rules of the English language, a name should fully comply with the Russian language.

9. Abstract (in English) should, according to the meaning and structure, fully correspond to the Russian-language one.

10. Key words (in English) should fully correspond to key words in Russian and the terminology accepted in the scientific sphere.
