Now, present your original findings and ideas in a way that will make your research interesting and useful to researchers, understandable and simple, and, most importantly, publishable in a reputable journal. To do this, follow the rules for writing scientific articles, which emphasize logical text structure and a clearly defined structure.
Required Content Elements for Publishing Scientific Articles
1. Heading:
- The author's full name, the name of the university or scientific organization where the scientific work was carried out, and the name of the discipline are indicated.
2. Abstract:
- A brief summary of the work's content is provided. The reader should immediately understand the subject of the scientific article for publication.
3. Keywords:
- Phrases are selected that most accurately reflect the essence of the research.
4. Introduction:
- The purpose, hypothesis and objectives of the research, novelty and relevance of the topic are formulated.
5. Main part:
- It occupies a central place in the article. It describes the research sequence and methods, proves the hypothesis, formulates the results, and provides practical recommendations.
- The main part can be divided into logical blocks with their own names, which makes it easier to perceive the material.
6. Conclusions:
- The obtained results are formulated.
- Instead of a conclusion, conclusions may be included if the article is based on experimental data. These are presented as abstracts.
7. Bibliography:
- All sources used in the scientific work are indicated, which are mentioned as references or served as a starting point for the research (bibliography).
Certain topics in scientific articles contain specific features that influence the structure of the text. Technical formatting is also adjusted according to the requirements of the editorial board of the journal in which the article is published.
