Structure
To better present the article, please divide the text into sections with appropriate headings, for example Introduction, Methods, Results, and so on, ending with Conclusion, Acknowledgements, and References. Subheadings may also be used (for example, in the Methods section, to organize different aspects of the work performed: Materials, Procedure, etc.), in which case sections can be numbered 1, 1.1, 1.2, etc.
Please note that grants or other fellowships under which the work was done are to be acknowledged with their full name and the reference number; and individuals or groups whose assistance was indispensible, although they are not authors, are to be acknowledged.

References
I. In-text citations
When citing a reference in the text, use a number, in italics(beginning with 1 for the first reference cited). References are to be numbered consecutively, and if a source is repeated, do not give it a new number; use the original number. Note that the number is inserted before the next punctuation.
Сообщалось о минерализации TZE чистой культурой из окисляющего метан организма (1).
The mineralization of TZE by a pure culture of a methane-oxidizing organism has been reported (1).
Хасанов (2) сообщил о колебаниях в реакции бензальдегида с кислородом.
Jensen (3) сообщил о колебаниях в реакции бензальдегида с кислородом.
Jensen (3) reported oscillation in the reaction of benzaldehyde with oxygen.
For those writing in Russian, please note that, as in the above example, if the name of the reference is in English, it is to be given in English (the journal will transliterate to Russian as needed).
If the source given has two authors, both names are used with “and”:
Амирханова и Хасанов (2) сообщили о колебаниях в реакции бензальдегида с кислородом.
Jensen and Jones (2) сообщили о колебаниях в реакции бензальдегида с кислородом.
Jensen and Jones (2) reported oscillation in the reaction of benzaldehyde with oxygen.
If the reference has more than two names, then use only the name of the first author and “et al.”:
Иванов et al. (2) сообщили…
Johnson et al. (2) сообщили…
Johnson et al. (2) reported…
If the in-text reference is to more than two works, use an en dash, not a hyphen:
(1–4), not (1-4). If it is to two works, use a comma (1, 2).
II. Reference list
List the sources consecutively in a numbered list, 1., 2., 3. and so on, and use the format for journal articles and for books that is shown below, paying attention to punctuation. Note that the surnames of authors come before their first initial (and second, if given) in all cases, and names of multiple authors are separated by a semicolon (;). The capitalization of words in the titles of English-language books, journal, and articles should follow the original.
The reference list will be published in English, with the names of Russian authors, books, journals, and articles transliterated, but the journal will do the transliteration. Therefore, list any Russian-language sources in the original Russian. The titles of books and the titles of journal articles should be followed by an English translation in brackets (see examples below).

All reviewers are qualified specialists in the subject of peer-reviewed materials and have published in the last 3 years on the subject of the peer-reviewed article. Reviews are stored in the editorial office for 5 years.
The Editorial Board sends copies of reviews or a reasoned refusal to the authors of the submitted materials.
The Editorial Board sends copies of reviews to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation upon a corresponding request.
All articles submitted are subject to single-blind peer review: they are sent with the author’s name to independent anonymous reviewers. Authors are to respond promptly to questions and comments from the peer reviewers, which will be transmitted by the Editor to the corresponding author. The final decision to publish is by the Editorial Board, which will accept only those articles that have received two positive reviews.
