If the article is written in Russian the title of the article, the authors’ names, the abstract and the keywords are followed by their English translation (see Article Template).

Guidelines for typing the main text (see Article Template)

  • Margins - 2 cm each;
  • Font - Times New Roman;
  • Font size (size) – 14 pt;
  • Indention - 1.25 cm;
  • Line interval - single;
  • No hyphenation;
  • Width alignment;
  • Allowed font style - italic, bold;
  • A hyphen must be different from a dash;
  • Decimal digits are written with comma (for example, 0,25).

Recommendations for preparing tables and figures (see Article Template)

  • Abbreviations are not allowed in the tables. Abbreviations are deciphered in the notes below the table.
  • Figures, graphics, photographs and tables can be submitted in colored form and must be of high quality (at least 300 dpi).
  • All figures, photographs, tables, formulas, equations and their captions are located in the appropriate part of the article.
  • Symbols are preferred to be taken from the symbol table of the Word Editor if present, rather than inserted as a picture or formula.
  • Structural formulas of chemical compounds are inserted in the form of drawings.

Acronyms and abbreviations

  • Abbreviations should be avoided when possible. All abbreviations in the text should be decoded, with the exception of few ones which are commonly used.
  • Abbreviations of several words are separated by spaces (i.e. 760 mm Hg; AR grade (analytical reagent grade); sp (special purity), etc.), with the exception of the most commonly used (etc., i.e., et al.).
  • Abbreviations or formulas of chemical compounds used as adjectives are written in the following way: IR spectroscopy, PE film, LCD state, Na+ form, OH group.

Dimensions

  • Dimensions are separated from the values by a space (i.e. 17.5 mol%, 77 K, 10.34(2) Å, 58 J/mol, 50 m/s2), except for symbols for degree, percent, ppm: 90°, 20°C, 50%, 10‰ .
  • The dot is not required after the known abbreviation of dimensions (min for minute, h for hour, s for second, g for gram, d for day, deg for degree).
  • For complex dimensions, it is allowed to use both types of writing, i.e.
    (J·mol–1·K–1), or with brackets {J/(mol·K) or J·(mol·K)–1} for easier understanding. The main rule is style similarity for dimension writing manner in one article.
  • Dimensions of variables are written with separation by commas (E, J/mol).
