Author Guidelines
Articles are accepted in English or Russian.
Upon acceptance of the article, the authors are required to provide a signed Licensing Agreement (Download) for non-commercial publication rights. The completed and signed agreement must be submitted as a scanned PDF file.
When writing an article, it is advisable to adhere to the
EASE Guidelines for Authors and Translators of Scientific Articles to be Published in English.1. Article types and volume:
- full articles – standard format for completed scientific studies, typically around 25,000 characters (Times New Roman, 12 pt.). Include no more than 8 figures and tables and cite at least 20 references.
- review articles/perspectives – comprehensive critical syntheses/generalizations of research topics, typically citing 30-40 references.
2. The article should be well-structured and clearly organized. A recommended structure includes the following sections: introduction, theory, methods, experimental studies, results, practical application, discussion or directions for further research, and conclusion (conclusions). Additional elements such as a literature reviews, methodological frameworks, algorithmic approaches, mathematical models, or assessments of model reliability may be include at the discretion of the authors.
The literature review should analyze and synthesize prior research, highlighting similarities, differences, and limitations. This analysis should justify the relevance of the current study. Authors are encouraged to reference credible publications from well-regarded scientific publishers and researchers.
The article should integrate theoretical concepts with experimental data to validate hypotheses, models, or ideas are confirmed, and/or their reliability is assessed.
Articles presenting completed projects should include substantial analytical content that justifies the decisions made and clearly demonstrates the project’s effectiveness.
All sections of the article should contribute to enhancing the quality of the publication when presenting it to the scientific and professional community.
The article must clearly state the goals and objectives of the study (or project implementation). All components of the article should be logically interconnected and presented in in precise, well-structured, and comprehensible scientific language. The use of scientific methods in the research must be well-founded and clearly explained. The methods employed should be both appropriate and sufficiently detailed for readers to understand their application. If widely known methods are used, especially those commonly applied in similar studies, a detailed description is not necessary. However, the authors' contributions to refining or advancing these established methods should be explicitly highlighted. Experimental studies should include: a description of the location, conditions, measurements of physical quantities, and the procedures used for processing the results. Clear acknowledgment of any specialized software used, with proper citations or indications as required.
The Study Results should be presented clearly and concisely, emphasizing the novelty of the findings and their distinctions from results obtained in similar previous studies.
The section on practical application (an mandatory part of the article) should describe how the research findings can be applied to further development and industrial practices. Wherever possible, actual or anticipated economic benefits should be specified.
In the Conclusions section, the results of solving all research objectives should be clearly articulated, and evidence of achieving the study’s goals should be provided. This section should also include any newly identified quantitative and qualitative indicators or characteristics of the studied objects, processes, and phenomena.
3. The article must include:
- abstract;
- keywords;
- references.
4. The abstract serves as an independent source of information and should be comprehensible without referring to the full article. It must reflect the structure of the artic, including sections such as introduction, goals, objectives, methods, results, and conclusion.
5. The length of the abstract should correspond to the article’s content but must not be less than 1200–1500 characters. For Russian-language publications, a more extensive abstract is preferable). All keywords should appear in the abstract to improve the article's visibility in online searches, as many databases index only titles and abstracts.
6. Provide 7-10 keywords, avoiding the excessive use of word combinations.
7. References must include citations to international research.
8. The reference list should comply with the Vancouver citation style, as required by international databases. Citations to dissertations, GOST standards, regulations, and norms should be placed in footnotes.
9. References should be cited in square brackets and should not exceed three sources per bracket, placed at the appropriate point in the text. The numbering is continuous and in sequential order. Each citation must be supported by a detailed description of the corresponding sources.
10. The main text of the article must be submitted in a separate file in *.doc or *.docx format.
11. Formulas in the article must be created using the built-in Microsoft Word editor, Microsoft Equation, and should use characters form the Latin and/or Greek alphabets. The article should not be overloaded with overly complex formulaic expressions. Necessary transformations should be presented in a concise and reader-friendly manner.
12. Figures included in the article must be clear and suitable for digital reproduction. For scanned images, the resolution must be at least 300 dpi, and the images should not contain unnecessary elements. The use of scanned images for graphs or structural elements is discouraged unless properly justified. Graphs and diagrams should be created in a consistent design format, ensuring they are visually clear, informative, and easy for readers to interpret. Drawings should have evenly distributed space, properly labeled axes dimensions, and uniquely defined curves or lines.
Drawings of technical objects must be created using graphic editing software. Figures should use numbers and/or the Latin alphabet characters as symbols, and all symbols must be clearly explained in the accompanying text.
Photographs included in the article should be clear and fully described in the text. The recommended number of figures is no more than eight.
Figures should be submitted separately in one of the following formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, RAW, or PSD.
Authors should avoid overloading the article with illustrative material.
Authors should avoid overfilling articles with illustrative material. The recommended maximum number of illustrations is eight.
Graphic materials submitted for publication undergo a separate quality review. If the materials do not meet the required standards, authors will be asked to make improvements, with assistance from graphic processing specialists if necessary).
13. The use of International System of Units (SI) and Celsius degrees are preferred.
14. Authors must clearly distinguish their original data and ideas from those of others, as well as from their prior publications, by providing appropriate citations wherever relevant. Summarizing or paraphrasing text from other sources is strongly recommended. If any signs of plagiarism are detected in a submitted paper – such as significant borrowings of text, figures, or other information from external sources without proper citation – the paper will not be reviewed or edited and may not be resubmitted in any form.
15. Articles and their components submitted in Russian should not be translated into English by the authors; this task is handled by the journal's editorial team. The journal translates articles submitted in Russian into English. In such cases, the final review with the author is conducted solely based on the Russian-language version of the material.
16. When submitting an article, authors may include an optional cover letter (CL). The cover letter should provide a brief description of the work, its motivation, ethical considerations, and any additional information that may assist reviewers and editors in understanding the publication’s significance within the scientific community.
17. The editorial board wishes to remind authors submitting articles to the journal, as well as those preparing or defending a scientific dissertation, that in Russia, the full text of a dissertation is publicly available on organizational websites as a manuscript. This may lead to challenges during originality checks for submitted articles . Authors are strongly encouraged to ensure that their article, derived from dissertation research, possesses all the attributes of an independent scientific work. Simply copying sections from the dissertation is unacceptable. Intermediate and final conclusions must be presented as original contributions.
18. Articles submitted in English are subject to a preliminary review to assess the quality of the language. This evaluation is conducted by reviewers, and if the language quality is deemed insufficient, the article may be rejected.
19. The journal does not charge authors for publication , except in cases where the paper is prepared as part of research project, funded by Russian or foreign organizations. Such funding must be acknowledged in the paper, for example, projects of the Russian Science Foundation, grants or state assignments from the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, jointly funded projects by Russian and foreign organizations, etc. For papers funded under such conditions a publication fee is applicable after the manuscript is reviewed and accepted.
From 01.01.2025, the payment for publication for a standard paper with the volume of all elements of the manuscript of not more than 25 thousand characters with spaces is 40,000 rubles. In case of exceeding the standard paper volume of 25 thousand characters, the payment for editorial and publishing services increases at the rate of 5,200 rubles for 1,800 additional characters.
Authors can request a draft agreement by e-mailing send@misis.ru
Articles prepared within funded research projects (as specified in paragraph 15 of the Author's Guidelines) must be submitted by June 1st of the current year. If all editorial processes are successfully completed, these articles will be published within the same year.
