Author Guidelines

General rules

In accordance with the Procedure for submission, reviewing and publishing scientific articles adopted in the journal, the manuscript should be submitted through the electronic editorial system on the journal website or by e-mail of the editorial office: amt.journal@yandex.ru.

Template

To reduce time spent on the formatting of an article according to the journal requirements, we recommend to use a template. The template complies with accepted standards for the provision of manuscripts. Nevertheless, we recommend you to get acquainted with the publication rules and the rules for preparing the manuscript, as they contain a more complete description of the rules and requirements.

Types of publications

The main types of articles:

Original Paper - a detailed format for presenting scientific research. Short communications about important preliminary results of particular scientific value can only be reviewed with the consent of the editor.

Review - systematization and critical generalization of information about any research topic, including the highlighting of new directions in the development of a specific area of knowledge, a review of promising ideas and discussions.

Article language

The article can be submitted in Russian or in English.

Article in Russian

Information about authors and affiliations of authors, abstract, keywords, references must be submitted in Russian and English. Figure captions, titles and structural elements of tables are presented in Russian and English.

Articles submitted to the editorial office in Russian (the main text of the article) are translated into English. Translation services for authors are free.

Article in English

In an English-language article, all information can be presented only in English. Translation services for authors are free

Article formatting

Manuscripts should be 1.5-line spaced (without increased spacing before and after paragraphs) and use Times New Roman; 14-point font, (article title - 16-point font). All margins should be set at 2.0 cm, justified alignment. The main text is typed with a paragraph indent of 1.25 cm; headings, abstract and keywords - no indentation.  All pages must be numbered consecutively.

Manuscript volume

The recommended size of the manuscript (including spaces and all elements of the publishing design) is from 35 to 50 thousand symbols, including:

for original articles - 18-23 pages;

for review articles - up to 25 pages.

The number of pages is approximate, as it depends on the amount of illustrative and tabular material. First of all, you should pay attention to the number of symbols: 1 conventional page is equal to 1800 symbols (with spaces).

Excess volume or its reduction up to 20% is allowed by prior agreement with the editorial board of the journal. The volume of figures should not exceed 1/4 of the article volume.

Requirements for the text of the article

Article structure

The structure of the full text of the manuscript (in Russian or English), dedicated to the description of the results of original research should correspond to the structure of IMRAD and contain sections: introduction (justification), purpose, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusions / conclusion. If necessary, the heading can be expanded.

For review articles, the following structure is adopted: Introduction, Results and Discussion, Conclusions. We recommend that you also include a strategy for information retrieval in bibliographic databases, which is determined by the purpose and type of the review being carried out: a traditional review (critical, preliminary, updating, expert) or a systematic review. If the article was prepared in the format of a systematic literature review, then it is advisable to also describe the criteria for the inclusion and exclusion of a particular source within the stated topic.

Introduction

A section that begins with a description of the research object, then the relevance of the research is formulated. The introduction should emphasize the importance of research and determine its place among similar works. It is necessary to carefully analyze the current state of the research area and highlight key publications. A review of the world literature is presented, confirming the absence of a solution to this problem in the literary sources and indicating the predecessors on whose research the paper is based. Further, the goal of the study arising from the results of the literature review is formulated, and the list of tasks planned for solving and specific hypotheses is formulated. It is important to highlight and delineate unresolved problems. It is advisable to consider at least 20-30 sources and compare the views of the authors, paying special attention to controversial and diverging hypotheses. Some of the sources should be in English. For review articles, the number of sources should be increased.

Materials and methods

A section that begins with a description of the research object, then the relevance of the research is formulated. The introduction should emphasize the importance of research and determine its place among similar works.

For review articles, the number of sources should be increased.

Results and Discussion

This section includes the analysis of the results obtained, their interpretation, comparison with the results of other authors. The results of the research should be presented clearly and concisely, but at the same time contain sufficient information to evaluate the conclusions reached. It is important to discuss the results obtained in the broadest possible context: how they can be interpreted within the existing scientific paradigm, how they can be interpreted in the future research perspective, how problems and limitations were identified in the framework of the research performed. This section should help the reader assess the methodological pros and cons of the study.

Conclusions

The results of the scientific research are briefly summarized. Conclusions should logically correspond to the tasks set at the beginning of the article. In the conclusion, generalizations are made, the significance of the work done is emphasized. Recommendations are also provided and possible directions for further research are indicated.

Supplementary Material (при наличии)

The editors recommend the authors to openly deposit the original data, i.e. provide access to complete sets of experimental data so that you can reproduce your results. The data accessibility statement details where data can be found to support reported results and includes links to publicly available data archives. Placing a statement is a recommendation, but not a mandatory requirement of the editors. If desired, you can place this information at the end of the main text of your manuscript as follows:

The authors declare that they have no financial conflicts of interest or personal relationships that could affect the work presented in this article, or indicate a possible conflict of interest. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest, financial, personal, competing or other relationships that may affect the research results are necessary for an accurate and objective assessment of the work.

Bibliographical list

Bibliographic data in Russian is presented according to GOST R 7.0.5-2008 ("Bibliographic reference. General requirements and rules for compilation").

You should cite primarily original sources from scientific journals included in global citation indices. It is advisable to use at least 20-30 sources, of which over the past 10 years - at least 60%, over the past 3 years - at least 30%, self-citation - no more than 15%. According to the requirements of the journal, the absence of a solution to this goal in the world literature should be confirmed, and therefore the references should contain not only national, but also foreign publications. The recommended volume is at least half of the total number of sources in the list of references.

Links to unpublished sources are not allowed.

Not recommended references to textbooks, teaching aids, lecture notes, other educational literature, as well as to dissertation abstracts and dissertations texts.

GOST R 7.0.5-2008 offers several options for the design of inline links and references to bibliographic links. The editorial board, in accordance with the observance of the uniform format of the journal, suggests the authors to use the following design option for the entire list and lists.

The numbering of records in the article list is continuous (regardless of the source language). Sources are numbered in the order they appear in the text. The number of the source used in the cite list is put in square brackets. If there are several link objects, then they are combined into one complex link. In this case, the referenced objects are listed separated by semicolons. Examples of formatting links to a source in the text: [15]; [15-23]; [one; 15; 34].

References

Bibliographical list and References are two different parts of the article, they cannot be combined. The journal adopted the Vancouver citation style. For more information, see the References section.

Additional article elements

Figures and tables

All figures, diagrams and tables should be inserted in the main text next to their first quotation and should be numbered according to their number of occurrence in Arabic numerals (Figure 1, Scheme 1, Figure 2, Scheme 2, Table 1, etc.) ... Additionally, figures are submitted as separate files with a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Each file is named by the surname of the first author and the figure number (* Ivanov_Figure 1).

The figure must be clear and have a caption in Russian and English. The explanation of figures and photographs in the text and captions to them must correspond to the content of the figures. If one figure has several parts, then in the figure caption they are denoted by Latin letters in brackets: (a), (b), etc. All inscriptions directly on the figures are given in English (including designations on the axes graphs, etc.). If such information is present, it must be part of the graphic, i.e. should not be inserted as a text box in the Word editor.

For previously published illustrations, you must indicate the original source and, if necessary, provide written permission for reproduction from their author (owner) (for more details, see the Copyright section). Manipulations with images that may lead to incorrect interpretation of the study results are unacceptable. Confirmation of the fact of manipulation of the specified data may result in refusal to publish the article (before publication), correction or retraction of the article (after publication).

Each table must have a title in Russian and English. All columns of the table must have an explanatory heading in Russian and English. To make it easier to copy and edit large tables, you can use smaller fonts, but not less than 8-point font.

Units of measurement

The paper should use the international system of units SI (Système international d'unités, SI). All units must be converted according to the specified format. More information can be found in the SI Brochure: The International System of Units (SI), on the website of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (Bureau International des Poidset Mesures, BIPM): https://www.bipm.org/en/publications/si-brochure/ 

When naming substances, use the IUPAC rules (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC). You can get more detailed information on the website of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry: https://www.bipm.org/en/publications/si-brochure/

Formulas

Formulas are numbered right-aligned. All formulas must be numbered. Formulas are drawn up in the editor MS Equation or MathType.  It is inadmissible to use automatic numbering of formulas and cross-references to formulas or positions in the list of references in the text of the article. The reference to equations is given by their number (equation (2), etc. in Russian, Eq. (1) in English).

Abbreviations

One should confine oneself to the generally accepted abbreviations (GOST 7.12–93 for Russian and GOST 7.11–78 for foreign European languages), avoiding new ones without sufficient grounds. Abbreviations should be defined in brackets when they first appear in the main text of the article and be used consistently thereafter, remaining unchanged throughout the text. The use of abbreviations in the title of the article or in the abstract is unacceptable.

Transliteration

When transliterating, it is recommended to use the BGN / PCGN standard (United States Board on Geographic Names/Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use), recommended by the international publishing house Oxford University Press as "British Standard". To transliterate the text in accordance with the BGN standard, you can use the link: http://ru.translit.ru/?account=bgn. 

Foreign names

When using foreign names, surnames, names of educational institutions and other names, their original description (in the original language) must be given in brackets. When using new or rarely used terms and concepts, it is advisable to indicate their variants of translation into English, as well as provide a list of publications in English that use the specified terminology. You can place this information either at the end of the manuscript (after all the required elements), or prepare a separate document "Information for a translator" in a form convenient for you (file name * Last name of the first author_For translator).

References

The editorial board recommends the authors to prepare References according to the Citation policy adopted in the journal (link).

The correct description of References not only demonstrates the quality level of the research, but also guarantees that the cited publication will be taken into account when evaluating the scientific activities of its authors. International indexing databases transform all submitted links into a single structure. In this regard, strict requirements for unification and standardization are imposed on this block of a scientific article.

It has become a common practice to use bibliographic programs (Reference management software), for example Mendeley, EndNote, Zotero etc., that simplify the work with sources:

https://endnote.com/

https://www.mendeley.com/reference-management/reference-manager

https://www.zotero.org

The journal excepted an adapted version of the Vancouver style of citation, which is supported by the specified software and is one of the standards recognized by international databases.

The editors invite authors to get acquainted with the features of Vancouver Style and design examples:

-  in the presentation on the website of Imperial College London: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/administration-and-support-services/library/public/vancouver.pdf

- in the booklet on the website of British Columbia Institute of Technology: https://www.bcit.ca/files/library/pdf/bcit-vancouverstyle.pdf

- on the  Elsevier website (Elsevier’sStandardReferenceStyles): https://booksite.elsevier.com/9780081019375/content/Elsevier%20Standard%20Reference%20Styles.pdf

The Vancouver Citation Style requirements are variable in the presented samples. The editors ask to pay attention to the following:

- it is not necessary to indicate the publication date for journal articles (leave only the year);

- the title of the journal (conference proceedings, books) must be in italics;

- titles of articles (chapters in a book) are not italicized.

References rules in Russian have been prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the Association of Science Editors and Publishers (ASEP), which can be found in the journal “Science Editor and Publisher”:

Rules for Russian-language references

Submission of References in Russian raises a number of questions and is especially difficult. Incorrect presentation of the specified information can lead to a significant distortion of statistics on citation of publications.

If the cited article has a DOI, it should be indicated.

If there is no DOI, citation in the International Scientific Database (ISD) is established by the name of the first author and the output of the article (title of the journal, year, volume, number, pages). Mismatching at least one letter or number in these elements leads to the loss of the link.

The editors ask the authors to pay attention to the following rules:

1. Article titles are translated into English.
2. The titles of the journals are transliterated, but not translated (if the journal does not officially use a parallel English title, the information is checked on the website of the publication).
3. Authors' surnames are transliterated according to the BGN Transliteration Standard.
4. If сities have English spelling they should be given in English (Moscow, etc.).
5. It is unacceptable to include only the translated title of the conference, as this will complicate the search for the necessary material and may lead to the loss of the link.
6. At the end of the bibliographic description with the translation of the title of the article, an indication of the language of the article is given (In Russ.).
7. References design rules apply to sources in any languages: articles in Ukrainian, Bulgarian, other Cyrillic languages, should be formatted in the same way as in Russian (In Russ., In Ukr., etc.).
8. Square brackets are not used when it is necessary to provide transliterated and translated versions of the name. We recommend using the = sign.

 Russian language references

Authors (transliteration)

Article title (translation)
