The size of the annotation is 150–250 words. General phrases and copying of sentences from the main text of the article should be avoided.

Keywords — 5–10 words, which reflect the main content of the text in terms of the object, subject and research methods. The concepts from the text of the article should be used.

References. The list includes only literature referenced in the text of the article. The list is compiled in the order of mention or citation in the text of the article, and not in alphabetical order. References to the authors of the books, articles, dissertations and other scientific publications used are given in the text in square brackets with the surname, initials of the author and pages: [1, Ivanov A.A., p. 6], [2, Kuznetsov P.V. , Romanov D.A., pp. 10–12; 3, Vasilyev B.A., p. 98]. Each position in the list of references is indicated once, but it is possible to refer to it repeatedly in the text (including to different pages). The absence of pages within square brackets suggests a reference to the publication as a whole, but it is preferable to indicate specific pages.

The list of references should contain at least 8 positions, but not more than 40 ones, while the share of English-language publications from Web of Science or Scopus should be 25%. Extensive self-citation is not allowed. The absence of References is permissible only for overviews of events or reviews of books.

For the design of References in the journal, a style close to the Harvard standard is chosen, but with the following differences: all the authors of the source are indicated; no comma is placed before initials in surnames; the title of the article is not enclosed in quotation marks; the year is put behind the title of the journal. The source name, as in the Harvard Standard, is in Italics:

Author A.A., Author B.B., Author C.C., Author D.D. Title of Article. Title of Journal, year, vol., no., pp.
