Each table in the text, together with a numbered heading, should be given twice - in Russian and English versions. First, the English version of the numbered heading and table should be given. Immediately after them, the Russian version of the numbered heading and table should be placed, while the number of the heading and the data in the table (but not the text!) must match. The text of the English-language version of the table heading may not exactly match the text of the Russian-language version, especially in cases where it is advisable to give additional explanations to the table content in the heading.

IV. Reduce graphical material to minimum (unless the nature of your study dictates otherwise). Photographs should be rich in contrast, illustrative artwork should be clear and of high resolution (dpi).

The absolute minimum for acceptable resolution is 300 dpi, though higher is preferable. Do keep in mind that image files should be tagged with numbers corresponding to the enumeration within the manuscript. In addition, file description should provide the caption of your image as it would appear in the paper

      • Graphs should be labeled on the ordinate and abscissa with the parameter or variable being measured, the units of measure, and the scale.

      • Kindly take care to provide references to all of your supplementary materials (tables, graphs, etc.) within the body of the text.

V. Abbreviations
All used abbreviations and symbols must be deciphered in the notes to the tables and figure captions indicating the statistical criteria (methods) used and the parameters of statistical variability (standard deviation, standard error of the mean, etc.). Statistical significance / unreliability of the differences in the data presented in the tables is recommended to be indicated by superscript symbols *, **, †, ††, ‡, ‡‡, etc.

VI.Ethical compliance
To publish the results of experimental studies involving people, it is necessary to indicate whether the participants in the study signed informed consent. It is necessary to indicate whether the study protocol was approved by the ethics committee (with the name of the relevant organization, its location, the number of the protocol and the date of the committee meeting). Details on the principles of publication ethics, which guide the editors of the journal in their work, are set out in the "Ethical principles of the journal" section.

VII. Cover letter. The journal editorial board requires authors to submit a scanned copy of a cover letter from authors team in *.pdf format. We expect a cover letter to summarize concisely why your paper is a valuable addition to the scientific literature and briefly relate your study to previously published work. Cover letter should be signed by all of your co-authors. We accept separate letters from authors if they have different affiliations declared in the manuscript.
