Abstract
Provide an abstract giving a brief, structured but informative summary of the contents and conclusions contained in the paper. The abstract should be within 150-200 words and not contain abbreviations or specialized terms.
Keywords
Authors must give about 4-5 keywords or phrases, which identify the most important subjects covered by the manuscript. Font: 9 pt Times New Roman, Italic.
Introduction
The introduction should provide the necessary background information with succinct words to give a proper perspective for the study. Only the necessary background information should be provided, instead of a detailed review of the field. Previous publications that provided the groundwork for the paper submitted must be mentioned. All symbols and abbreviations used must be defined, unless they are common abbreviations, symbols of chemical elements or standard units of measurements. Subheadings are not used in this section.
Experimental
All experimental procedures and compound characterization data need to be included in the manuscript's experimental section. This section must be described with sufficient details so that others could repeat the procedures, in conjunction with cited references. Procedures such as appropriate experimental design and statistical methods should be described. Methods for quantification of levels or differences in levels of molecules in biological samples must be described fully and shown to be quantitative and reproducible, using appropriate replicates and statistical analyses. Additional information could be included as Supplementary Data if necessary. If the study characterizes the activity of new compounds, compound structures must be provided. Quantification of gel or blot intensities must be performed with data obtained within a linear range of exposure.
Results and Discussion
Results should be clear and concise and presented with tables or illustrations for clarity. Discussion focused on the interpretation of the results rather than a repetition of the Results section. This section may be subdivided further if subheadings give the manuscript more clarity.
Conclusions
Should provide the main conclusions, including why the results are significant and advance the field.
Acknowledgements
All financial and material support for the research and the work reported should be clearly identified in the Acknowledgements section of the manuscript.
References
References should include only articles that are published or in press and cited in text by number rather than author and date. Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. The cited scientific article must be listed with a DOI number in the references and the DOI link of the article should enable to access to the article.
Note: "et al." should only be used after 5 authors. Please write all references using the Latin alphabet. If the title of the book you are referring to is, e.g., in Russian, Mongolian or Chinese, then please write (in Russian) or (in Chinese) at the end of the transcript or translation of the title.
Please, use the following style for references:
Article in a Periodical:
Article in a Book:

Patents:
Text file formatting
Manuscripts should be submitted as a Word document. The entire manuscript file, including the abstract, experimental section, results and discussion, references, and footnotes, must be formatted as single-column and single-spaced text.
The document must be typed in Times New Roman, 10 pt, regular, fully justified, normal. Italicize any words that should appear in italics. Don’t use the tab key to indent blocks of text such as paragraphs of quotes or lists.
Fonts and Typography: The Symbol font (rather than the normal text font) must be used for Greek letters and mathematical symbols.
Abbreviations: If abbreviations are used in the text either they should be defined in the text where first used, or a list of abbreviations can be provided.
Page layout and styles
Page size, margins: A4 portrait (210 mm × 297 mm), all margins must be 2 cm.
Headings and numbering: Major headings in sentence case, bold, left-justified, subheadings should be in sentence case, regular, Italic, left-justified. Do not number any titles.
Title: 12 pt Times New Roman, sentence case, Bold, centered
Author and co-authors: 10 pt Times New Roman, sentence case, Regular, centered
Authors’ affiliation: 9 pt Times New Roman, sentence case, Italic, centered
Abstract: 9 pt Times New Roman, Regular, fully justified, normal, no indentation
Tables and Graphics: 10 pt Times New Roman, sentence case, Italic, left justified, normal, a sequential Arabic number.
Citations: 10 pt Times New Roman, Regular. For citations in the text, please use square brackets and consecutive [1, 2] or [1] numbers. The numbers in the references section are without square brackets.
Abbreviations, Physical Quantity Symbols, and Units
Authors are encouraged to use abbreviations and acronyms. Nonstandard abbreviations and acronyms must be defined the first time they are used and should be avoided in manuscript titles and abstracts. Symbols for physical quantities should be italicized (for example, c, Ea, J, m/z, t1/2). The International System of Units (SI units) should be used.
Illustrations
All illustrations - tables and graphics (figures, reaction schemes, and chemical structures) need to be inserted within the manuscript text where they are first discussed. Illustrations should be submitted in black and white with no background color. The figures should be of high resolution (300 dpi minimum for photos, 800 dpi minimum for graphs, drawings, etc., at the size the figure will be printed) with TIFF or JPEG and placed in the text. Numbers and symbols incorporated in the figure must be large enough to be legible after reduction in figure size. Figure and diagram numbers should be placed at the bottom with Bold (Figure 1.), but the name should be written in Italic and usually not Bold. Leave a space of 1 pt above the diagram and below the figure caption.
Please NOTE: We cannot publish scans or photocopied figures or accept Power Point, Excel, Roshal Archive (RAR) or Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Suitable file types include Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) and Microsoft Word (doc) files.
Figures, schemes, and graphics: Should have titles and explanatory legends containing sufficient detail to make the figure easily understood. The figure number and caption should be typed in the manuscript word-processor file directly below the figure (rather than included in the graphic). The caption should identify the content of the figure and should be understandable without reference to the text. If a figure has several parts, the individual parts should be labeled (A), (B), etc., and each part identified in the caption. The key to symbols used in a figure (for example, for marking experimental points in a graph) should be included in the figure itself whenever possible. Each figure must be referred to by its number at least once in the manuscript text.
If a figure has been published previously, acknowledge the original source in the figure caption. You must obtain written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the figure and upload this permission as supplemental data.
Tables: should be created with the Microsoft Word Table function and must have a title, and footnotes and/or legend and be clearly defined. The table number is written at the top of the table in Italic, Bold (Table 1.), but the title is Regular. Leave a space of 1 pt above and below the table number.
To facilitate layout of large tables, smaller fonts may be used, but in no case should these be less than 9 pt in size. Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Do not use the space bar to separate columns, and do not place an Excel table in a Word document. Use separate cells for all discrete data elements within a table. If a table cell is to be left empty, please type a hyphen (-) in it. All abbreviations within a table must be defined in the table legend or footnotes. Each table must be referred to by its number at least once in the manuscript text.
Proofs. Authors will be provided galleys for proofing, which must be returned with any corrections, within 5-working day. No new material corrections will be allowed on proofs.
