  • Main Elements of the Article: Universal Decimal Classification (UDC): this should be placed at the beginning of the article.
  • Author Information: the details should be provided in both Ukrainian and English and include: first and last name, academic degree and title, position or degree being pursued, the name of the educational institution/scientific organization, city and country, e-mail, and ORCID.
  • Title of the Article: the title should be short, clear, and reflective of the research content. It should be provided in both Ukrainian and English.
  • Abstract: the abstract shall be provided in two languages, Ukrainian and English, and must contain 1,800–2,500 characters, without spaces, and be presented without subdivisions. First, the relevance of the topic is indicated, after which the purpose and object of the study, as well as the research methods, are described, while for theoretical papers the theoretical basis should be presented. Next, the main research results and their practical significance are outlined. In research papers, numerical results must обязательно be provided, whereas in review papers only the issues under discussion should be presented. The abstract text must be concise, written in an active style without passive constructions, original, and should not contain references to sources, tables, or figures. All elements must logically follow from one another.
  • Keywords: keywords shall be provided in two languages, Ukrainian and English, and must reflect the main themes of the study and give the reader an understanding of the content of the article. The number of keywords should be 5–10. These must be words or word combinations, not sentences. If the object of the study is not mentioned in the title, it should be added to the keywords.
  • Number of Formulas, Tables, Figures, and References in the Article:
    For Ukrainian: Формул: _; рисунків: _; таблиць: _; бібліографії: _;
    For English: Formulas: _; figures: _; tables: _; bibliography: _.
  • Introduction: the introduction should present the problem formulation in a general way, its connection with recent research and publications, and its relevance to significant scientific and practical tasks.
  • Literature Review: the literature review should include an analysis of the main works that describe the problem and previous attempts to solve it. The review should be oriented toward the research goal and critically analyze the scientific base used to verify the hypothesis. The review should not be limited to works published in the author's country but must include global sources, especially for authors from non-English-speaking countries, who are encouraged to also analyze English-language publications. The article should cite only valuable sources directly related to the research problem. All citations must comply with ethical standards. Authors may use their own publications only to describe the problem, not to increase citation counts. The literature review should end by identifying unresolved issues and justifying the need for further research. All references should be formatted according to the APA style.
  • Aim and Methodology: this section should clearly and specifically formulate the research goal, which should reflect the main results aimed to be achieved by the research. The goal should be described briefly (in one sentence) and should not repeat the manuscript's title. Several intermediate problems that will help achieve the research goal can also be mentioned. The methodology should be described briefly and specifically. This section lists the methods used in the work with references to relevant sources if the methods were applied in other studies. If the methods and procedures are new or proposed by the author, more detailed information about their application should be provided. If general statistical methods are used, it is enough to mention their presence without describing their essence. For theoretical research, it is important to describe the theoretical framework, including key theories, concepts, equations, and formulas.
  • Results: present the main research findings with justification for the scientific results obtained.
  • Conclusions: present the main scientific results, novelty, theoretical and practical significance of the research, social and economic effects, and prospects for further research.
  • Conflicts of Interest: authors must clearly indicate any conflicts of interest that could affect the research results or article publication. This information must be included in the Article Notes before the reference list.
  • Funding: authors must specify the source of funding for the research or publication and confirm the absence of funding if applicable. If funding is provided, they should specify the organization that provided the funds.
  • Ethical Statement: authors must confirm that the research was conducted according to ethical standards. If activities requiring ethical approval were carried out (e.g., working with humans or animals), they must indicate whether such approval was obtained.
  • Generative AI Statement: if AI tools were used in writing the article, authors must indicate the purpose of these tools and confirm that all results were verified and that the author assumes responsibility for them.
  • Author Contributions: this section must clearly indicate the contributions of each author to the research, including who was responsible for the idea, methodology, data collection, analysis, writing, and editing of the article.
  • Acknowledgments: if authors wish to thank individuals or organizations that assisted in the research but are not authors, they may include this in the Article Notes before the reference list.
  • References: the list of used sources should be placed at the end of the article and formatted according to APA style. References to unpublished works are not allowed. The number of literary sources must be at least 10, with at least half being foreign sources.
