The editorial team requests authors to follow manuscript preparation guidelines. Manuscripts should meet internationally accepted requirements for academic papers. The length of the manuscript submitted should be about 4000–8000 words. Lettering in Times New Roman font size 14 pt with 1,5 line spacing is preferable. Please upload your manuscript both in *.doc and *.pdf formats, titled according to an author’s name (for example, Ivanov_I.doc, Ivanov_I.pdf).

A reference list should comprise more than 15 researches (articles, monographs) including foreign ones (not less than 30%) and arranged in alphabetical order. Sources in foreign languages should be listed after sources in Russian language. In a text, references should be given in square brackets and should include an author’s last name, date of publication and page number(s) where appropriate, for example [Ivanov 1999, 56–58]. If the source has no identified author, cite the first few words of its title, date of publication and page number(s) where appropriate, for example [Material for the dictionary… 1999, 67].

The reference list should not be numbered and should comprise only sources mentioned in the paper.

Articles in Russian or English are submitted.
