The section Materials and Methods should contain a clear description of the methodology used to solve the problem, the objects of the study, models, methods and algorithms, visualization techniques, the specifics of the modelling or simulation process, as well as the information about the used software packages, databases, information resources, etc. (i.e. everything you used to obtain the results presented in the paper). The section may include subsections named according to their specific purpose, for example, “Description of the suggested method/algorithm…”, “The suggested mathematical model of the process…”, “The methodology of the study…”, “The suggested approach…” etc.

The section presents a theoretical, mathematized, and sufficiently accurate description and grounding for the suggested solution (methods, methodologies, algorithms, models, mathematical settings, technologies, structural principles, etc.). In this section the authors prove the novelty of the suggested solution (by describing its distinguishing features), as well as its theoretical and applied value.

Results and Discussion

The section describes the conditions, limitations, and the initial data used in the experimental study of the suggested solution as well as the comparative analysis of the obtained results presented as graphs, tables, diagrams, etc. The section presents both the comparison of the alternative results obtained in the study (if any) and a comparison of the obtained results with the results of the existing solutions obtained using the same initial data. This section may also have a separate subsection called Discussion with the detailed description of the obtained results, the analysis of the advantages and limitations of the application of the suggested solutions. Please, provide an objective comparison of your results with the previously published findings. In this section, you can also discuss the novelty of your study and the way it complements the previous ones.

Conclusions

References

The section should be submitted both in Russian and in English. Please, do not include unpublished works in the list of references.

Names and abbreviations

Please, do not abbreviate (or in any other way change) the names of papers and journals. Please, use only official short names of international journals. To find the official version, you can use CAS Source Index, the WorldCat Library, the Web of Science (ISI), the title catalogue of the  MedLine (NLM Catalog). If there is no official short name, use the full title of the journal.

If the cited material has a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), it should be given at the very end of the bibliographic reference. You can check the DOI of the article on the website  CrossRef  or Citethisforme.com. To get a DOI, enter the name of the paper in English in the search box. The second website, besides providing the DOI, will also automatically generate a correct bibliographic reference to the paper in English using the Harvard reference style. Since 2000, most international journals (and since 2013, some Russian papers as well) are registered in the CrossRef system and have a unique DOI.

The journal follows the Harvard Style of reference. References should be numbered and listed consecutive in the order in which they are cited in the text (notwithstanding the language of the title) rather than in alphabetical order. Bibliographic references in the text of the article are indicated by numbers in square brackets.

The English version of the list of references should be formatted using the Harvard – Imperial College London.

The requirements to the formatting of the references are given below in the Style sheet section.

• The text of the manuscript should contain automatic hyphenation.
• Hyphen, minus sign, dash. Please, note that hyphens (-), en dashes (–), and em dashes (—) are not the same.
• Please, use them as follows:
• En dash (without spaces):
• the height of 20-30 thousand meters
• this is 60-80% of the total load weight

The main body of the manuscript may contain figures, tables, listings, and formulas.

Formulas

All formulas should be on separate lines. The formulas and variables described in the text should be created with MS Equation 3.0 or Math Type (default style, font size - 12 pt.) as separate objects.

The width of each formula should not exceed 82.5 mm (equal to the column width in the journal), including the number of the formula.

Variables can be denoted with Greek or Latin letters. Latin letters (upper and lower case) should be in italics (x, Y ). Greek lower case letters should be in italics ( β ), and Greek upper case letters in normal font ( Ω ). Vectors and matrices should be in bold ( x, A ).

Do not use scaling when changing the size of the formulas!

Hyphens in formulas. How to break formulas. If a formula is too long for one line, it can be continued on the next line. Separation should preferably be made after ratio symbol less preferably after dot leaders (...), plus and minus signs (+ , - , ±), and the least preferably after multiplication signs (×). Do not break formulas after division signs.

The sign after which you break the formula shall be at the end of the first line and copied to the beginning of the second line of the formula! Dot leaders are also copied to the next line.

Division of fractions with long numerators and short denominators. We suggest converting the fraction to a decimal: the numerator is then a polynomial in brackets, and the reciprocal of the denominator is outside the parenthesis. Fractions can only be divided after a plus sign.

Division of fractions with long denominators and short numerators. We suggest using a forward slash instead of a division sign, and present the nominator and the denominator as polynomials in brackets. Certain elements of the denominator can be replaced with symbols explained after the formula.

Division of formulas with long radical expressions. Such expressions can be simplified by raising them to a corresponding power. Radicals are separated after a plus sign.

See the example below.

Vieta's theorem. The sum of the roots of a normalised quadratic equation

  x² + px + q = 0   (1)

is equal to the negation of the coefficient of the second term, and the product of the roots is equal to the intercept term.

x₁ + x₂ = −p,   x₁ · x₂ = q

Theorem proof. Let’s consider ...

The equalities demonstrating the dependencies between the roots x₁, x₂ and the coefficients of the quadratic equation p, q :

x₁ + x₂ = −p,

x₁ · x₂ = q,

are called Vieta’s formulas.

Theorems, lemmas, and definitions. The words Theorem, Lemma, Proof, and Definition are be in bold. The statements of theorems and lemmas are be in italics. All definitions are in normal font.

References

References are listed alphabetically based on the family name of the first author.

If there are two or more authors with the same last name, they are listed alphabetically on their first names.

References to several works by the same author are listed chronologically.

References to several works by the same author published in the same year are listed alphabetically based on the name of the paper.

• Reference formatting. The English version of the list of references should be formatted using the Harvard – Imperial College London style (http://www.imperial.ac.uk/admin-services/library/learning-support/reference-management/harvard-style/your-reference-list/). The year of publication, the volume of the journal, and the pages of the paper can be abridged (see examples below).
• Punctuation.
  • All the punctuation marks used in accordance with GOST (“//”, “/”, “–”) should be replaced with commas and periods.
  • The family names of the authors go before the first names. The family name is followed by a comma.
  • The initials are followed by periods and separated by spaces.
  • The names of multiple authors are separated by commas.
  • The initials of the author are followed by the year of publication in brackets.
  • The name of the paper ends with a period.
  • The name of the periodical (book, scientific journal) should be in italics.
  • The formatting of the rest of the reference should coincide with those shown in the examples below.
• Translation and transliteration. References to papers written using the Latin alphabet (in English, German, Spanish, Italian, Finnish, Danish, or any other language based on the Latin alphabet) should be given in the language of the original. Example (a paper in German from a German journal): Janzen, G., & Hawlik, M. (2005) Orientierung im Raum: Befunde zu Entscheidungspunkten. Zeitschrift für Psychologie. 213 (4), 179–186. (In German)
• If you provide references to papers written using the Cyrillic alphabet (including in Russian), hieroglyphs, etc., please provide an OFFICIAL TRANSLATION or translate the name of the paper into English yourself. Book titles are transliterated and translated into English. The year of publication should be given in brackets at the end of the reference.
• Transliteration standard. The BSI (British Standard Institute, UK) standard should be used for transliteration. For automatic transliteration into the Latin alphabet we recommend to use this link.
• Names of the authors and editors. The names and initials of the authors should be written in the Latin alphabet the same way they are provided in the source. Use the names of the authors provided in Latin in the referenced source regardless of the transliteration standard used there. If the referenced source (the journal's website or databases including the eLibrary) does not have the names of the authors in the Latin alphabet, use the BSI transliteration standard.
• Names of the papers. Always use official translation of the names of the articles, if any (look for the information on the journals’ websites, or use databases, including the eLibrary). If the publication source does not provide an official translation, you should translate the name of the paper yourself.
• Names of journals. Some of the periodicals (journals) that were not originally published in English still have a parallel official English name. Therefore, in the References section, the names of journals for articles published in a Russian-language journals should be either the transliterated name of the journal or a translated one. The translated name of the journal can be found on the journal’s website, in the cited paper, or in the reference databases, including CAS Source Index, WorldCat, the catalogue of Web of Science (ISI), or the title catalogue of the MedLine (NLM Catalog). If there is no official translation of the name of the journal into English, the name is transliterated using the BSI standard. Do not translate the names of journals on your own.
• The place of publication.The Place of publication in References should be written in English (translated rather than transliterated) and without abbreviations, e.g. “Moscow” rather than “Moskva” or “M.:”, “Saint Petersburg” rather than “Sankt Peterburg” or “SPb”.
• Name of publishing house/publisher. Unlike the place of publication, the name of the publishing house must be transliterated unless the publishing house has a parallel official English name.
• Language of publication. If the referenced paper was not originally published in English (i.e. you provided a translation of the name of the paper and a transliteration/translation of the name of the journal in the References section), please, state the language of the publication in brackets after the page numbers. For example, if the paper is in Russian, put “(in Russian)” at the end of the reference.

Registration in Science Index and ORCID

Science Index

We kindly request all authors to register with Science Index (Russian science citation index). Registration will enable you to search for papers and manage the list of your own works, and will give you access to full-text versions of the papers.

To register just fill in this form. It will take only a few minutes. Please, do not forget to tick the box “register with SCIENCE INDEX". When you complete the registration, you will be assigned a personal SPIN-code, which you should provide in the section “Information about the authors”.

ORCID

We also kindly request all authors to register with ORCID and receive a personal international identifier ("Open Researcher and Contributor ID")

Following a request by the authors whose manuscripts were accepted for publication, but who do not have their own ORCIDs, we publish a step-by-step instruction on how to register.

ORCID identifies papers, books, and other scientific works by a particular author in scientific databases (Scopus, Web of Science, etc.), library indexing systems, etc. It also helps to address the problem of the same author’s name being transliterated differently and hence considered to be several different authors (eg. Piatnitsky, Pyatnitzki, etc).

ORCID is a must for all authors who publish their works in international journals and whose names are originally in the Cyrillic alphabet.

ORCID is not a citation database, like Scopus, RSCI, etc. It is a separate database whose aim is to address the problem of author identification and contribution recognition. ORCID is an ID which helps to identify all your papers. (Using ORCID you can also manage your publication list and update you affiliations and position. In other words, the database stores your basic CV attached to your author profile.)

Open the ORCID website.It has both an English and a Russian version (you can change the language in the right upper corner). Register on the website and fill in your name Russian and the preferred transliteration. Send us your ORCID to be published with your paper.

We also recommend to fill in at least your current place of work, i.e. your affiliation. If you have any papers indexed in Scopus, we also suggest that you register your ORCID with Scopus.

In order to do so, please, follow the instruction below:

1. Open the Author search page on Scopus
2. Type your first and last name in Latin and click the search button 
3. Find your name in the list and click on it to go to your profile 
4. Click “Add to ORCID” on the right 
5. Scopus will automatically redirect you to your ORCID page. Click “Sign in” (“Already have an ORCID iD? Sign In”)
6. Enter your ORCID login and password and click “Authorize”
7. Follow the instructions

Now your Scopus profile is linked to your ORCID ID. Always add your ORCID ID to the information about the author and ask to publish it when submitting your papers to journals indexed in citation databases.
