- Introduction. In this section, the author outlines the scientific problem and its relationship with practical aspects or impact on other areas of socio-economic life; justification of the relevance of the chosen research topic.

- Literature review. This section should contain a review of the literature and existing relevant studies in the area chosen by the author, taking into account the global context, in particular, a review of literature sources of foreign authors is REQUIRED; this section should contain the scientific novelty of the manuscript, for example, unresolved problems in relation to previous studies.

- The purpose of the study. In this section, it is necessary to formulate the purpose and objectives of the study set by the author. The goal should be to solve a problem or gain knowledge about it. The purpose of the study focuses on its final result. The objectives reflect the questions that need to be answered to realize the research goal. To formulate the goal, it is advisable to use words such as establish, identify, develop, prove, etc.)

- Materials and methods of research. This section should contain a brief description of the research methods (methodology) and be sufficiently presented in such a way that other researchers can repeat the study and come to similar conclusions. The author may also briefly describe well-known methods with appropriate references to them and the mechanism of their use in this study. If any software/database was used to conduct the research, the name and version should be indicated, as well as the choice of a particular database should be justified.

- Research results. In this section, the research results should be presented in a logical sequence without interpretation.  The presentation of the main research material involves the substantiation of the scientific results obtained, the research results involve statistical data processing, which should be presented in the form of tables, graphs, diagrams. The data displayed in the tables must be substantial, complete, and reliable. The results of the research must be analyzed. Do not use figures and tables where it would be better to display them as plain text.

- Discussion. This section is the most important element of a scientific article and should contain an interpretation of the results obtained and their comparison with the results of previous studies. The section should prove the correctness of the author's view as much as possible and explain the essence of the data obtained, assess possible contradictions and unexpected results, and suggest further areas of research.

- Conclusions and prospects for further research. This section should contain a brief summary of the research results, a comprehension and generalization of the topic, and prospects for future research. The conclusions should be concise, specific, substantiated, consistent with the purpose of the study and follow from the main content of the work.
