Article Structure

1. INTRODUCTION

The introduction defines the relevance of the research and the significance of the article. It should include:

a brief statement of the research goal, topic, and field of application;
a literature review that outlines general research trends in the chosen field, existing conflicts in theory, methodology, practice, or research findings, and research gaps or underexplored areas in scientific schools;
an outlook for future development of the topic;
the author's standpoint;
justification of the study’s relevance.

For theoretical research, describe the specific methodology used to obtain the results (not general theory, but concrete methods applicable to this article).
For experimental research, provide a detailed account of the experiment, techniques and equipment used, and the research objects involved.

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS

This section usually poses no difficulty for authors who have conducted thorough research.
Provide a detailed report of the study: describe the procedures, instruments, and devices used, as well as the volume of data collected. Include the statistical and mathematical techniques employed to analyze and summarize the data.
It is important that the data be valid and the methods properly described. This allows reviewers and future researchers to reproduce your study.

3. RESULTS

As in the Introduction, avoid general or vague phrasing.
The results must correspond to the stated objectives of the article.
Clearly articulate the conclusion, idea, concept, or method that the author arrived at during the research.

Important: Minimize the use of external sources. Focus on your own observations and results.

4. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

The Discussion section should address the following:

Which facts (or methods) the author agrees or disagrees with, and why. Disagreements must be supported by results of your own methods, with comparative analysis of facts/methods and descriptions of similarities and differences;
Any limitations faced by the study or the research field as a whole;
The future research prospects on the topic;
Comparisons of various methods (if relevant);
Comparisons between your results and those of similar studies.

5. CONCLUSIONS

The main goal of this section is to summarize the findings.
State the practical and scientific significance of the research and its potential areas of application.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A minimum of 10 references indexed in citation databases is recommended.

The following sources should not be cited in scientific articles:

YouTube videos;
Posts from LiveJournal or social networks;
Anonymous or hard-to-access sources; sources under 3 pages in length;
Conference abstracts;
