Avoid unspecific titles such as "On the question of ...", remember that the titles of all articles in each issue are reproduced in the international reference system for periodicals and continuing publications "Ulrich's Periodicals directory" in order to inform the world scientific community, and the words appearing in the title are used as keywords in various information systems. A clear and accurate title is the most important way to attract the attention of a wide range of scientists to your work. The recommended length of the title is no more than seven words (not including prepositions and conjunctions).

The abstract should repeat the structure of the article (Background, Purpose, Materials and Methods, Results).

• The text of the article should be carefully proofread, clear and concise.

Rubricization of the text is a necessary element of all articles, except for short reviews and informative communications. The more clearly your text is organized, the more likely it is that your ideas will be adequately understood by your readers.
