Requirements for article formatting

  1. The scientific and technical journal “Vestnik RGUPS” publishes the following types of materials: scientific articles, research analysis, scientific reviews, and reports.
  2. Article materials should be submitted as a file to the mail pmv_nis@rgups.ru in Word for Windows using Times New Roman 11 pt font, single line spacing, justified alignment, paragraph indentation 1.25 cm, and all margins 20 mm. The recommended article length is 5–15 pages.
  3. The first page should contain the following information:
    • UDC – in the upper left corner; 8-point spacing;
    • authors’ initials and last names – centered, in italics; 8-point spacing;
    • article title – in capital letters, bold, centered, without hyphenation; 8-point spacing;
    • Abstract in Russian and English (a summary of the article, including 3-4 sentences, 80-150 words);
    • Keywords (5-10 words). Each keyword or phrase is separated by a comma, also in Russian and English;
    • For citation:
      • If the article has 1-3 authors, one of the authors is listed first, followed by the article title, all authors, the journal to which the article is being submitted, year, issue, page (leave blank), and DOI (also blank);
      • If there are 4 or more authors, the author is not listed first, but the rest is formatted accordingly.
    • The article must be signed by all authors (a scan of the first page with all authors’ signatures must be provided);
    • The text of the article is printed with hyphens. The article must contain an introduction, the purpose of the research, the main body, and conclusions.
  4. Each scientific article must include a bibliography formatted in accordance with the publication guidelines.

    The bibliography is provided as a table at the end of the article and is compiled in accordance with the
    sequence of references in the text, indicated in square brackets. References are formatted strictly in accordance with GOST
    R 7.0.100–2018 (the minimum number of bibliographic sources is 10).

    A translation of the bibliography into English is required!

  5. Latin letters are typed in italics, while Greek and Russian letters are typed in roman font. Mathematical symbols such as lim, ln, arg, const, sin, cos, min, max, etc. are typed in roman font.
  6. Formulas. When typing formulas, use the Math Type – Equation formula editor. Large formulas should be broken into separate fragments. Formula fragments should be independent, if possible (when working in the formula editor, each line is a separate object). Numbering should be typed in Word, separately from the formulas. Formulas should be centered on the line. The letters J and I, e and l, h and n, q and g, V and U, O (letter) and 0 (zero) must be distinguished by their style. Dashes, hyphens, and minus signs must be designated with the appropriate symbols. Only formulas referenced in the text should be numbered! Notations, terms, and illustrations must comply with current GOST standards.

    • Academic degree, academic title, position;
    • Contact phone number;
    • Author ID (see on the website elibrary.ru);
    • E-mail.

    Information is compiled for each author separately, in the order they are mentioned in the article.
    It is important to clearly indicate the author’s affiliation, without allowing any other interpretation.

  10. In addition to the article, the following documents are required: a letter of guarantee, expert opinion, and
    license agreement. The article must also be accompanied by a letter of recommendation signed by the academic supervisor
    if the student is publishing without co-authors.
  11. Originality. The percentage of plagiarized text should not exceed 10%. The proportion of cited text should not exceed 10%, and the proportion of original text should not be less than 80%.
  12. The scientific specialty and areas of research to which the article pertains must be indicated.

    13. Examples of article formatting, abstracts, and author information are provided in the “Author Support” section.
