Abstract

The article abstract performs an important representative function in all information bases and is an independent source of information. The abstract purpose is to give the reader an idea of the article content without reading the full text.

Abstracts should be:

uncluttered (do not contain excessive parenthesis);
informative (to reflect the main content of the article and the results of research);
structured (follow the structure of the article).

The text of the abstract should be brief and clear, free of background information, superfluous introductory words, general and insignificant formulations.

The abstract should have the same structure as the text of the article and contain 1-2 sentences for each clause:

description of the research object;
formulation of motivation;
research method (briefly);
results of the study (it is recommended to indicate the specific results and dependencies obtained in the study);
conclusions (briefly).

The text must be coherent; the statements should be logical from one another.

In abstract is not recommended to:

use complex grammatical constructions;
use non-standard or uncommon abbreviations (if essential, abbreviations must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself);
use links to sources;
use formulas and illustrations;
leave out the research results in order to intrigue the reader.

Introduction begins with the description of the research object. Then formulates the study relevance and background based on the literature review. Recommendations on the literature list copilation you can find here. The section presents the formulation of the research goal, which contains a list of tasks to be solved, as a conclusion from the literature review.
Methods describes in detail the selected research method. The method should be defined in such a way that another researcher could reproduce it and get similar results.
Results and Discussion should preferably be presented in the form of tables, graphs and other figures. This section includes the results themselves and their analysis, their interpretation, comparison with the results of other authors.
Conclusions summarizes the results of scientific research. The section contains a numbered list briefly summarizing the main scientific results of the article. Conclusions should be logically in accordance with the tasks at the beginning of the article.
Acknowledgement. This section is optional, it expresses gratitude for the financial, information and other support provided during the writing of the article.

Formating guidelines for the article are listed here.

References:

A representative list of literature characterizes the relevance and qualitative level of research conducted by the author. These recommendations are compiled in accordance with global trends and contribute to greater openness of scientific publications as well as improve the performance of articles and their authors in databases.

Recommendations on completeness and representativeness:

Volume. It is recommended to include in the list of references scientific articles, monographs, conference proceedings, electronic resources with a date of reference. The recommended volume of the literature list is 20-40 citings, not including hard-to-access and normative sources as well as links to Internet web-sites, which are not periodicals. As hard-to-access sources we understand organization reports, albums of standard solutions and other similar sources, which can not be found in the catalogs of the leading Russian and international depository libraries. Normative sources are laws and other regulation documents (e.g. Eurocodes, ISO, ASTM, etc.) As Internet not periodical sources we understand web-sites on the Internet that publish information without scientific peer review. Hard-to-access and normative sources are recommended to be mentioned in the text of the article. It is strongly recommended not to include textbooks, teaching aids, lecture notes and other educational literature in the article.
Relevance. For a representative review of the literature it is necessary that the sources were relevant. We recommend to have in the list of literature at least 10 publications published over the last 10 years, 5 of them - not older than 3 years.
Geography. According to the requirements of the journal, the literature review should confirm the lack of a solution to the stated goal in the world literature, and therefore recommend that you have in the list of literature not only your country but also foreign publications. The recommended volume is not less than half of the total number of sources in the literature list. Foreign sources are publications published in a foreign journal (not your country). The language of publication in this case is irrelevant.
Level of publications. It is recommended that at least 6 of foreign and at least 6 of your country sources are included in one of the leading citation indexes:

Self-citation. Within the limits of self-citation, it is not recommended to have more than 5 sources, the authors or co-authors of which are the authors of the article.

Requirements for the list formating

Correctly written description of the source is a guarantee that the cited publication will be taken into account when assessing the author's scientific activity and, as a consequence, the organization.

The quoted literature is given in the general list at the end of the article in the order of mentioning in the text. The ordinal number in the text is enclosed in square brackets (e.g. [9], [11, 12], [16-20]). The article should contain references to all sources from the list of references.

We kindly ask you, when referring to a source, use its official metadata in both Cyrilic and Latin as indicated in the source. It is highly appreciated to use DOI, if it is available.
