The publication of articles is carried out through-the-cut, alphabetically, as it prepares the next articles.
The scientific article must be comprehensive, meaningful, contain no irrelevant and contradictory data or signs of plagiarism, and have no unreasonable, inappropriate, flimsy transfer or citation of well-known facts, compilations, references or normative legal acts, and the repeated use of key phrases.
In the work valuable and authoritative deep analysis of the author's problem, criticism, proposals (including legislative acts), considerations, original conclusions, etc. are obligatory.
The article should be brilliant, it should be quoted!

It is enough to leave 2-3 surnames of previous researchers, but briefly write down the contribution of each of several sentences.
Include, with reference to them in the list of used sources, analysis of scientific works of 2-3 foreign authors of publications on the subject of the article.
6.6. The purpose of the article should not literally repeat its name (the study is a process of the scientific study of something and may not be the purpose of the article. The purpose of the article can only be to achieve the scientific result obtained in the study).

For the article of the recommended volume, it is necessary not less than 12-15 sources.
