STRUCTURE OF MANUSCRIPT.
For original research articles and short communication papers, text should be organized as follows:
I. COVER LETTER (Optional):
(object and subject of research, practical recommendation, scientific novelty)
II. AUTHORS DETAILS
- Corresponding author's name with full postal address in English and e-mail address should appear, after the affiliations. It is preferred that submitted address is institutional and not private. Corresponding author's name should include only initials of the first and middle names separated by a full stop (and a space) and the last name. In one-line list all authors with full names separated by a comma (and space). Avoid any abbreviations of academic or professional titles. If authors belong to different institutions, following a family name of the author there should be a number in superscript designating affiliation) -E-mail and postal address: Postal address should be written in the following line in sentence case. Parts of the address should be separated by a comma instead of a line break. E-mail (if possible) should be placed in the line following the postal address. Author should clearly state whether or not the e- mail should be published) - Affiliation authors: Affiliation consists of the name of an institution, department, city, country/territory (in this order) to which the author(s) belong and to which the presented / submitted work should be attributed. List all affiliations (each in a separate line) in the order corresponding to the list of authors. Affiliations must be written in English, so carefully check the official English translation of the names of institutions and departments. Only if there is more than one affiliation, should a number be given to each affiliation in order of appearance. This number should be written in superscript at the beginning of the line, separated from corresponding affiliation with a space. This number should also be put after corresponding name of the author, in superscript with no space in between. If an author belongs to more than one institution, all corresponding superscript digits, separated with a comma with no space in between, should be present behind the family name of this author. In case all authors belong to the same institution affiliation numbering is not needed. Whenever possible expand your authors' affiliations with departments, or some other, specific and lower levels of organization.
III. ABSTRACT – max.250 words
Must not exceed 250 words and minimum 150 words. It is a short but informative summary of the article. The abstract does not allow the use of formulas, abbreviations (abbreviated words), references to positions in the list of references. The abstract should include the following sections:
• Aim
• Methods
• Results
• Conclusion

IV. KEYWORDS. Keywords must be checked in: https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/search max. 5-6.
(Keywords - provide up to 6 keywords, with at least 4 selected via the Index Medicus Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) browser list: https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/search. These keywords should not reproduce words used in the paper title)
IV. MAIN PARTS OF MANUSCRIPT. (Headings in the manuscript should be numbered in arabic number as belows):
1. INTRODUCTION.
The purpose of the research with a brief overview of the background research question or formulates the purpose of the research, justifies the research hypothesis (if any). It is necessary to explain the necessity and significance of this research (solving the indicated research problem). Within the framework of the article, it is possible to work with only one goal / hypothesis / research problem.
2. RELATED WORKS.
Literature/reference review in this part of the article reveals the subject of research, poses a problem. You should not separately highlight the object, subject and provide a list of research tasks. Typically, the releated works is 1-3 pages long.
3. MAIN PART.
3.1. Methods (Optional).
This section describes in maximum detail the process of organizing the experiment, the methods used and the justification for their choice, the equipment used. The course of the experiment should be described step by step. A clear and detailed description of the methods and materials used, characteristics of the sample, etc. makes it possible to assess the reliability of the results obtained. It is very important to separate the research methodology from the results. Description in detail of the methods that you used. Include details of the endorsement guidelines that investigators follow. This section should not include subheadings. Do not use the term "subjects" - use terms such as "participants", "patients" etc.
3.2. Formulation of the problem (optional).
3.3. Algorithm for solving the problem (optional).
3.4. Results of simulation modeling (optional).
3.5. The obtained research results (optional)..
4.1. RESULTS.
This section should provide objective data obtained during the study based on the described methodology. The results of the author's research should be presented as fully as possible. Tables and graphs are inserted here. The discussion is summarized in tables and figures with short text descriptions. Don’t include subheadings.
4.2. DISCUSSION.
Brief interpretation of the results. Provide references, illustrations and tables in numerical order in the order they appear in the text. Don't include subheadings). The "Discussion" section assumes analytics based on the results obtained by the author. Authors need to conduct a critical analysis of the results obtained in the context of current existing knowledge on the topic. Within the framework of this section, a comparison is made with the results of earlier, similar or in any way overlapping studies, primarily of foreign colleagues. Authors need to evaluate the scientific contribution of their research and the results obtained to the international community, show the practical / theoretical significance, and formulate a scientific contribution. In this section, links to current foreign publications are required. In the same section, the limitations and disadvantages of the study and the results obtained are prescribed. If a hypothesis was stated in the introduction, in the Discussion the authors should return to it and refute or prove it. If the interpretation of the results in the context of the theory is required, this is also carried out within the "Discussion" section.
5. CONCLUSION.
Section "Conclusion" is required for all articles. This section implies the formulation of meta-conclusions based on the analysis of the results obtained. "Conclusion" is written in full text, by no means a list
Acknowledgments (optional).
It should list grants or other types of financial support (and, if necessary, their sources) for the research. Then you should thank the specialists or institutions that helped in the organization and conduct of the research. One should not thank the persons who took part in the consideration and acceptance of the manuscripts, i.e. reviewers, editors, and members of the editorial board of the journal in which the article will be published.
Practical recommendations (optional).
(3 to 5 dots (bulleted) summarizing practical conclusions from the research that can be understood by a layperson. Avoid overly scientific terms and abbreviations).
V. REFERENCES
Fully Research Articles – 20-30 sources. Short Communication papers – 14-15 sources. Reference Style. Use IEEE style. Use the Mendeley desktop tool for accomplishment automatic reference style of implementation on high performance (link) List of references The list of references should contain at least 20 items in Fully Research Articles and 14 items Short Communication papers. Current and foreign literature should occupy 50% + 1 of the total number of positions in the list. All positions of the list should be referenced in the text of the article and vice versa - all referenced literature should be listed in the list of references. It is recommended to use no more than 15-20 positions.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Indenting, Line Spacing, and Justification Indent all paragraphs except those following a section heading. An indent should be at least 2 em-spaces. Do not insert extra space between paragraphs of text with the exception of long quotations, theorems, propositions, special remarks, etc. These should be set off from the surrounding text by additional space above and below. Don't "widow" or "orphan" text (i.e., ending a page with the first line of a paragraph or beginning a page with the last line of a paragraph). All text should be left-justified (i.e., flush with the left margin—except where indented). Where possible, it should also be right-justified (i.e., flush with the right margin). "Where possible" refers to the quality of the justification. For example, LaTeX and TeX do an excellent job of justifying text. Word does a reasonable job. But some word processors do a lousy job (e.g., they achieve right justification by inserting too much white space within and between words). We prefer flush right margins. However, it is better to have jagged right margins than to have flush right margins with awkward intra- and inter-word spacing. Make your decision on whichever looks best. Language & Grammar All submissions must be in English. Except for common foreign words and phrases, the use of foreign words and phrases should be avoided. Colored text Set the font color to black for the majority of the text. We encourage authors to take advantage of the ability to use color in the production of figures, maps, etc., however, you need to appreciate that this will cause some of your readers problems when they print the document on a black & white printer. For this reason, you are advised to avoid the use of colors in situations where their translation to black and white would render the material illegible or incomprehensible. Please ensure that there are no colored mark-ups or comments in the final version, unless they are meant to be part of the final text. (You may need to "accept all changes" in track changes or set your document to "normal" in final markup.) Emphasized text Whenever possible use italics to indicate text you wish to emphasize rather than underlining it. The use of color to emphasize text is discouraged. Font faces Except, possibly, where special symbols are needed, use Times font. If you desire a second font, for instance for headings, do not use others fonts. Font size The main body of text should be set in 10 pt. Avoid the use of fonts smaller than 8 pt. Foreign terms Whenever possible, foreign terms should be set in italics rather than underlined. Headings Headings (e.g., start of sections) should be distinguished from the main body text by their fonts or by using small caps. Use the same font face for all headings and indicate the hierarchy by reducing the font size. There should be space above and below headings. Main text The font for the main body of text must be black and, if at all possible, in Times font available. Titles Whenever possible, titles of books, movies, etc., should be set in italics rather than underlined. Footnotes Footnotes should appear at the bottom of the page on which they are referenced rather than at the end of the paper. Footnotes should be in 8 pt. Times or closest comparable font available, they should be single spaced, and there should be a footnote separator rule (line). Footnote numbers or symbols in the text must follow, rather than precede, punctuation. Excessively long footnotes are probably better handled in an appendix. All footnotes should be left and right-justified (i.e., flush with the right margin), unless this creates awkward spacing. Tables and Figures To the extent possible, tables and figures should appear in the document near where they are referenced in the text. Large tables or figures should be put on pages by themselves. Avoid the use of overly small type in tables. In no case should tables or figures be in a separate document or file. All tables and figures must fit within 1.0" margins on all sides (top, bottom, left and right) in both portrait and landscape view. Mathematics Roman letters used in mathematical expressions as variables should be italicized. Roman letters used as part of multi-letter function names should not be italicized. Whenever possible, subscripts and superscripts should be a smaller font size than the main text. Short mathematical expressions should be typed inline. Longer expressions should appear as display math. Also expressions using many different levels (e.g., such as the fractions) should be set as display math. Important definitions or concepts can also be set off as display math. Equations should be numbered sequentially. Whether equation numbers are on the right or left is the choice of the author(s). However, you are expected to be consistent in this. Symbols and notation in unusual fonts should be avoided. This will not only enhance the clarity of the manuscript, but it will also help insure that it displays correctly on the reader's screen and prints correctly on her printer. When proofing your document under PDF pay particular attention to the rendering of the mathematics, especially symbols and notation drawn from other than standard fonts.
