articles

Reviewing manuscripts of articles in scientific journals is often complicated by insufficiently thorough preparation of the presented material. In addition to the irremovable reasons due to the low substantive (scientific) level and the lack of significant results, a significant contribution is made by the authors’ insufficient familiarity with the existing canons and rules for organizing the text of the article and the style of presentation. Despite the fact that a single standard that does not depend on the specifics of specific areas of scientific knowledge, the cultural environment and publishing traditions is impossible, it is quite possible to build a kind of “supporting structure” that would set the vector for applying the creative efforts of the author to build an information image of the scientific result obtained by researchers. The work sets out the conceptual foundations of an approach to manuscript design that is sufficiently general and meets the requirements for adequate exposure of key research results offered by the authors to the attention of the scientific community. The basic limitation is the subject of the work, which can be identified as the development of new mathematical methods and tools designed to solve practical problems in various fields of activity. Taking into account the specified specifics of the scientific orientation of the works and, accordingly, the profile of the scientific journal, as well as the technology for working with applications adopted in a particular editorial office, basic concepts are postulated, methodological rules are formulated on the most significant points, and normative markers are provided to help authors in matters of the structural organization of the manuscript, the choice of presentation style and means of presentation. The proposed material is the result of a generalization and systematization of the authors’ long-term practical experience, directly related to the publication of works on the designated scientific topics.
