Article requirements
Articles of scientific merit are accepted for publication. Authors may submit only one previously unpublished scientific article per issue.
1. Articles (electronic versions) must be submitted in MS Word format (doc, rtf, docx).
2. Articles in Ukrainian and English are accepted for consideration. The article must be at least 11 pages of main text; format – A4; line spacing – 1.5; font size – 14; font – Times New Roman; margins on all sides – 20 mm. Abstracts in two languages must be included in the same file as the article, following the References section.
3. Article structure.
3.1. Line 1 – UDC (left-aligned);
Line 2 – JEL Classification.
Line 3 – last name and initials of the author(s) (no more than 4 co-authors);
Line 4 – academic degree and title, position, and place of employment (full name of the department, structural unit, or institution, without abbreviations); each co-author on a new line, right-aligned;
line 5 – ORCID;
line 6 – title of the article (centered, bold, uppercase),
line 7 – text of the article with the required elements (as per section 4 of these requirements). The text of the article concludes with the conclusions of the study and a list of references.
3.2. In accordance with Resolution No. 7-05/1 of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated January 15, 2003, “On Raising the Requirements for Professional Publications Included in the List of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine,” scientific articles submitted for publication must contain the following required elements, clearly indicated:
Statement of the Problem.
Review of Recent Research and Publications.
Research Objectives.
Presentation of the Main Research Findings.
Conclusions from the Study.
The bibliography (containing at least 8 sources) should be placed after the article, either in the order in which the sources are cited or in alphabetical order, and formatted in accordance with Order No. 40 of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine dated January 12, 2017, and the requirements of the national standard DSTU 8302:2015.
3.3. In-text citations to sources in the bibliography should be provided in square brackets, for example, [4, p. 31; 2, pp. 21–39; 5; 8; 11].
In addition, the bibliography must be followed by a “References” section – a bibliography in Latin script (this is a requirement of international scientometric citation and indexing databases and is formatted using APA style).
3.4. Following the Bibliography and References, an extended abstract in the form of a summary must be provided in two languages (Ukrainian and English) (at least 1,800 characters including spaces, with keywords; single-line spacing; font size – 14; font – Times New Roman), which must include the following sections: article title, objective, research methodology, results, scientific novelty, practical significance, and keywords (this is a mandatory requirement of international scientometric citation and indexing databases).
3.5. Requirements for the structure and formatting of materials:
– All section headings in the text must be in bold;
– All statistical data must be supported by references to sources;
– all quotations must be followed by references to sources;
– if you cite a scholar’s name in the literature review or later in the text, their publication must be included in the Bibliography;
– the presentation of the main research material must conclude with text, not a table or figure.
3.6. The number of tables and illustrations should be kept to a minimum. Numerical data should be presented in tables that are numbered sequentially, right-aligned (e.g., Table 1), and titled (the title should be centered above the table in bold typeface, e.g., “Number of Small Enterprises in Ukraine”). The text in the table should be in Times New Roman, size 12, single-spaced. A figure should be a single graphic object (grouped). After tables and figures, indicate the source ([ ]; developed by the author; compiled by the author based on [ ], etc.). For figures created in Excel, an Excel file must be submitted along with the article. Illustrations must also be numbered and have captions that appear outside the grouped graphic object (e.g., Fig. 1. Dynamics of wage levels in Ukraine). All graphic objects must not be scanned.
3.7. The article must not contain hyphenation or the use of macros. The file name must correspond to the author’s last name (e.g., Antonenko_article).
