5) inference and conclusion.

Introduction.

In the introduction the author introduces the subject, problems and state of research on the topic of publication; at the same time, it is necessary to refer to the sources from which the information is taken. The introduction should allow the reader to understand the given problem. Formulation of the problem. Based on a review of the state of research on the topic of the article, the author reveals the formulation and purpose of the work. The main part of the article. In this part it is necessary to describe the theoretical or experimental methods of the study, the tools used, etc., so that the study could be evaluated and/or reproduced. It is necessary to describe the method or methodology of the research if they have innovative aspect.

A scientific article should reflect not only the selected tools and the obtained results, but also the logic of the research itself or the sequence of reasoning that resulted in theoretical conclusions. According to the results of experimental research, it is advisable to describe the stages of experiments. It is desirable to illustrate the described results with graphs, tables, charts, diagrams, etc. Discussion of Results. In this part of the article the authors interpret obtained results in accordance with the objectives of the research. They can explain their results based on their experience and fundamental knowledge giving some possible explanations.

Conclusion. The main results of the research are summarized here. The language of the Scientific Article When writing an article is it advisable to use: – Introduction – Present and Past Tenses; – Main part – Past Tense; – Discussion of Results – Past and Present Tenses. References have an independent meaning as a bibliographical publication. A bibliographic reference has information about a literature source which is quoted, reviewed or mentioned in the article. Author’s Summary in English (Abstract, Keywords) is the main in Russian edition and as a rule the only source of information for foreign readers about the content of the article and the research results presented in it. According to the author’s abstract foreign experts evaluate the publication, determine their interest to the work of a Russian scientist, can use it in their publication and make a reference to it, start a discussion with an author, request the full text, etc. The text should be logical and informative; it is advisable to use Past Simple and Present Perfect Tenses. The recommended volume is about 0.5 page.

Failure to comply with this principle is regarded as a major violation of the publication ethics and lays the case open to remove the article from peer review. The text of the article must be original, that is, it must be presented for publication for the first time. If any part of the manuscript was previously used in another published article, the authors are required to refer to the earlier publications and indicate what is the essential difference between the new study and the previous one. Word-for-word copying or paraphrasing of one's own publications is unacceptable. They can only be used as a basis for new conclusions;

1.7. provide a correct coauthors’ list of the article. All researchers who have made a significant intellectual contribution to its concept, structure, as well as to the conduct and interpretation of its results should be mentioned. Other individuals who have contributed to some aspects of the study should be praised. The author must also ensure that all coauthors are familiar with the final version of the article, approve it and agree with its submission for publication. All authors listed in the article should bear responsibility for the content. If the article is a multidisciplinary research, the coauthors may be responsible for their personal contributions, holding collective accountability for the overall results. Among the coauthors, it is unacceptable to indicate individuals who did not participate in the study;

The basis for the review of the article may be:

• the presence of illegal borrowings (plagiarism) in a significant amount;

• duplication of an article in several publications;

•detection of falsifications or fabrications in the work (for example, falsification of experimental data);

• detection of serious errors in the work (for example, incorrect interpretation of the results), which casts doubt on its scientific value;

• incorrect composition of authors (there is no author; persons who do not meet the criteria of authorship are included);

• hidden conflict of interest;
