– References (at least 10 sources).

Graphic elements

Graphic elements (tables and figures) should be informative and of high quality.

Tables 

  • All the tables should have title.

  • Figures should be in color.

Addressing references in the article text

If you cite a source that is in the reference list, insert its number inside the square brackets. If there is a specific page you want to address in this resource, separate it by coma.

Example: «... on the available cognitive mechanisms [5, P. 206].»

References

References should include at least 10 sources.

References should be formatted according to Russian GOST 7.0.100-2018

The purpose of the reference list is to allow any reader to easily find and access all cited sources. This requires all bibliographic entries to be as complete and clear as possible.

This applies whether you're adding citations through the platform one by one or uploading a bibliography file. A thorough check of your reference list is one of the best ways to prevent delays during the peer review process.

Always cite each source in its original language. This means the entire entry: title, publication details, elements like "accessed on" or page numbers, should appear as published. The language of the article does not affect this rule. For example,

  • a source in Chinese in a Russian-language article would appear as follows:
