1. General Information

1.1. Editorial Board takes into consideration the manuscripts of following categories: research article, review article, topical articles on the subject of journal, technical notes, technical comments, book reviews.

Publication of articles is free of charge.

1.2. The journal publishes articles that were not previously published and are not submitted for publication elsewhere. Articles should be of proper scientific level and contain original research results.

1.3 All manuscripts submitted to the Journal are subjected to peer review. Review period is once month. A final decision to accept or reject the manuscript is taken by Journal Editors according to the results of the review. If in the reviewer's opinion the manuscript requires revision, then the revised manuscript is re-submitted to the journal and considered by a reviewer again.

4.2. A manuscript should be carefully edited, grammatically correct and contain all necessary features of a scientific publication. A manuscript must have a certain structure: it must be divided into logical parts or sections to get a clear idea about the article subject, ways of solving the studied problem, obtained results and other relevant information.

Introduction, conclusion and references are indispensable structural elements of an article. The basic part of the article should be divided into logically interconnected sections with brief headings. For example, the article may have the following headings of sections (mandatory headings and parts are italicized):

Introduction

Analysis of results

Conclusion

References
