2. The maximum length of a paper is 20,000-40,000 characters (including spaces), or 10-20 A4 pages (including tables, graphs, and references).

3. 3. The volume of the Abstract is not less than 200 words in English. We ask the authors to pay special attention to this section of the article, observing the obligatory structure of the description of the scientific work in it:

   relevance, problem, results, conclusions.

4. References to sources are given in the main text in parentheses in the following form: author (s), year of publication: number of the page cited. Examples: (Habermas, 2008: 14), (Garfinkel, 2002: 156-157), (Heath, Hindmarsh, Luff, 2010).
5. References (at least 10 entries) must be placed at the end of your paper in the alphabetical order. Throughout the paper, the references (author’s last name, the year of publication and the page number separated by comma) are to be given in square brackets at the exact point in your document where you refer to someone else’s work.
6. Self-citing must not exceed 20% of the references.
7. You can see a paper layout in Appendix 2.
8. An example of the structure of the article is presented in Appendix 3.

Do not use footnotes for reference, except for documents or web sites with no author.

1. No bulky labels are allowed in figures, instead use letters or numbers to designate parts of the figure and explain them in the legend to the figure.
2. When referring to a grant throughout the paper, please include relevant funding information such as funding agencies, the grant title and its number in «Acknowledgements».

Papers are reviewed by independent experts in the subject appointed by the Editorial Board. Upon completion of the reviewing process, an author receives a copy of the manuscript with a reviewer’s comments.
