Two abstracts with key words following each of them. Both abstracts should consist of at least 1800 words (including the key words). Each abstract should adhere to the following format: the author’s surname followed by the first and middle names and the title of the article (to be typed in bold upright font); the text of the abstract; (in a new paragraph) the key words.
Abstract. Note that the data about the authors of the article, its title, key words and abstract will be used as descriptive metadata for the article, thus they should accurately reflect its content. To optimize the online search of this content, please, avoid too general as well as too specific formulations, use generally accepted abbreviations. The abstract should start with the information about the grounds for the current research that are predetermined by preceding investigations. It should be followed by the question that correlates with the hypothesis of the research. After that, state the aim of your investigation. For the empirical research, the author should indicate the parameters of inventory used for the main experiments. The findings of the research should also be stated. The conclusions should be clear cut and logically formulated. The abstract is placed separately from the article; thus, it should be comprehensive and complete.
Key words: notion 1, notion 2, notion 3, notion 4, notion 5, notion 6.
Important: the key words are necessary for search work by different browsers as well as classification of articles by their themes. It is in the author’s interest to indicate the number of the key words that will improve the search of the article by search engines. The word combinations are counted as one unit. The number of key words should extend to 5 or 8.
Introduction should state the aim and grounds for the research. At this point, the author should avoid reviewing the literature or stating the results of the investigation. The introduction should focus on topicality, importance, and authenticity of the article. The introduction should also state the problem in its relation to important scholarly and practical tasks.
Theoretical Background. This part should extend (but not repeat) the introduction. Here it is important that the author of the article should review the sources on this subject (leaving out unnecessary details) in relation to the aspect of the research; demonstrate the contribution of the research to the development of a particular theme; state theoretical or conceptual background of the research; put forward a number of hypotheses that require testing. It is important to remember that references to articles published in widely-cited international journals as well as your own articles will delineate the role of your research in a solution of a specific scholarly problem. While analyzing the publications it is necessary to state the findings of the preceding investigations and point out unresolved issues in them.
Methods. This part of the article focusses on the description of the stages of the research, methods, and methodology. Here the author has to mention about possible error limits in findings. The description of the methodology of the research should give a precise picture of the objectivity of the obtained data. The data should be sufficient enough for other scholars to repeat the investigation. Please, note that the enumeration of the methods will not suffice for the article; thus your article can be rejected. The methods used in the research should be well-known, i.e. highlighted in earlier publications and ther authors should be mentioned in the list of references (if possible). The reader of the article is expected to know that empirical data and other materials of the article are reliable, sufficient, and logical; the methodology is relevant, systematic, and accurate.
Results and Discussion. The results of the investigation should be clear cut and comprehensive. It is necessary to comment on the findings of the research and set the relation with existing scholarly concepts. Please, avoid extended citations and discussion of the published articles.
Conclusions and prospects of the research. This part should contain the main results of the research, clear cut authenticity and scholarly contribution of the article, the discussion of the influence and application of the obtained results, critical review of the drawback of the investigation and sttting of the prospects of further investigation.
Acknowledgements (if any). In this part, it is necessary to mention the names of people that assisted the research on all stages of its development: those who reviewed the literature, analyzed the data, edited the article, etc., as well as those who improved the article by giving remarks or propositions.

The list of references. The lists of cited sources should be formed in adherence to the  international APA.7 standard.

The list references in Ukrainian and Russian should be transliterated into Latin. Author’s names, titles of the books (journals, conferences, articles, etc.) should be transliterated. The brackets are used to enclose the titles of books translated into the English language (as a rule, each article provides its English abstract with the article title translated by the author). Foreign sources should stay unchanged. To transliterate Ukrainian sources, we recommend such services as «Стандартна українська транслітерація» in passport regime (http://translit.kh.ua/?passport);
