An article must be divided into structural parts, cited in the pattern below. Part “Introduction” should include research currency (problem statement and its connection with important scientific and/or practical tasks), analysis of references, used while solving the problem, and research objective.
  3. Article is typed in MS Word for Windows (*.doc or *.docx). The following page setup should be used: format – A4, page orientation is book, border size is 2,5sm, print – Times New Roman 12 pt (except summeries, key words, figures and tables, which are typed in 10pt – see patterns below), indent – 1,25 sm, line spacing of the main text is 1 (single spacing), text is typed without word division, justified alignment, text is not paged.

The list of references shouldn`t contain more than 30 sources in survey articles and only 15 sources in articles with author`s own research results. Initials are not spaced, but initials and surname are separated by spacing. It`s not allowed to carry over surname to another line (I.I. Ivanov,

Ivanov I.I.).

  1. Summeries are presented in two languages (Russian and English). Summery and key words are placed before “Introduction” in language the article was written (type – 10pt, “Key words” are bolded, key words are italicized).

One page is taken for authors` data: place of work, position, academic degree, address of establishment, contact details for feedback (telephone number and e-mail of all authors). An article is attached by assignment from establishment where the work was carried out. Articles of postgraduates and candidates are attached by review of research supervisor.
  4. All articles are anonymously reviewed.
  5. Editors of journal have a rule to abridge texts of manuscripts as agreed upon with authors.

If editors return an article as requiring improvements authors have one month for it.

  1. Article heading should contain: surname, name, middle name of all authors in full (in Russian); full organization name – place of work of each author in nominative case, country, city (n Russian).

 END OF PATTERN

 

Typing and correction of the text should be carried out in accordance with the following rules:

  1. MS Word is used to create tables.
  2. Words shouldn`t be hand-carried.
  3. Don`t put full stop after: UDK, title of article, authors` surnames, organization name, heading, figure captions, names of tables, notes and references to tables, dimensions (h-hour, s-second, g-gram, min-minute, day, C — degree centigrade, m-meter) and in subscripts as well. Full stop should be put after contractions (mes. – mesyats (month), ned. – nedelya (week), g. – god (year), mln. – million).
  4. Names of species and genera of plants and animals are presented in Latin in Italics according to actual international codes of biological nomenclature, together with author`s name and (if necessary) year of description (author and year of description are typed in usual print), for instance: Quercus pubescens But further mention of the same taxon, its generic name is contracted, author`s name isn`t typed (Q. pubescens). If the article contains taxonomic list with full names (including taxons` authors) it`s possible not to indicate author`s name. Authors` names are typed either fully or in standard contractions (Recommended!) in accordance to Authors of plant names (2001). References to authorities of either nomenclature combinations are necessary. Latin names of taxons which belong to higher class than genus are not italicized. Names of plant cultivars are single quoted (), if there is no the word “cultivar” before them; all words in cultivar name begin with capital letters (for instance, peach ‘Zolotoj Yubilej‘, but cultivar Zolotoj Yubilej).
  5. Requirements for quotation:
  • ellipsis in quotation is enclosed in curly brackets <…>. If there was a punctuation mark before or after omitted text, it is dropped;
  • if an author uses a quotation and emphasizes some words in it, after explanatory text of these words there must be full stop, then dash and article author`s initials (first letters of his/her name and surname), warning text is taken in parentheses. For example: (italics added. – A.S.), (underlined symbols added. – A.S.), (spacing added. – A.S.).
  1. Decimal fractions are separated by commas: 0,1 or 0,5.
  2. Dash isn`t put in the beginning of line.
  3. Double or multiple space isn`t allowed.
  4. Such contractions as “i t.d., i t.p.”, indices, subscripts and mathematical signs are not spaced.
  5. Numerals and signs %, ° are not spaced.
  6. Before measures and signs №, §, © there is a space.
  7. Hiphen is used only in compound words such as „vsyo-taki” (anyway), „khimiko-pharmatsevticheskij” (chemical and pharmaceutical), which are not spaced. Dash is used in all other cases and two-sided spaced (18 – 30, 1999 – 2014).
  8. Tables and illustrations are put into the text after their first mention. Optimal table size is one page.
  9. Before figure, after it and its caption (before text) there are indents of 1 line. Figure caption is centering and typed in lower-case bold letters 10pt, single-space ( 1 – there is no full stop after numeral). Figures and captions should be placed into a table of 1 column and 2 lines, option “Remove table borders” should be activated to avoid their display when printing (see pattern below).
  10. There is an indent of 1 line before table and after it. Word “Table” with its number is placed on the right side, table caption is centering below; lower-case bold letters of 10pt, single-space (Table 1 – there is no full stop after numeral). Table text is typed in lower-case non-emphasized letters of 10pt with single-space. The first words of table column headings are started with the capital letters, subheadings are started with lower-case letters if they are combined in one sentence with heading, with capital letters if subheadings are independent. Measures are pointed after commas. Execution and formatting parameters must correspond to the pattern – see below.

Repeated text in a table column may be replaced by quotation marks (« — »). Quotation marks instead of numerals, notes, signs, mathematical and chemical symbols are not recommended.

If a table size exceeds 1 page all its columns are numbered by Arabic figures, its continuation on the next pages is typed on the right side in 10pt print (for example, “Continuation of table 1”).

Notes:Hereinafter: PLR – pseudolittoral, SLT – sublittoral. F – few (less than 0,01 g in a sample).Empty table cells mean absence of cultivar in samples.
  1. Bibliographical references in article text are taken in square brackets, several sources are separated by commas in the order of number increasing.

List of references is formed according to State Standard R 7.0.5-2008. Bibliographical reference. General requirements and rules of formation (reference to State Standard http://protect.gost.ru/document.aspx?control=7&id=173511

List of references is made alphabetically, firstly works typed in Cyrillic symbols  are enumerated and after it works in Latin. Bibliographical descriptions of works, published in other languages (for example Arabic, Chinese and etc.) should be presented in English and point origin language (in brackets after page number).

  1. In the list of references names of cultivars and genera are italicized; numbers of volumes (issue, № or no) are typed by Arabic figures.
  2. Line drawings, maps, graphics and photos are enumerated by Arabic figures as they are mentioned in the text. References to drawings and tables in a text are taken in parentheses and pointed in shorthand form with a small letter (tab. 1, fig. 1), if they are mentioned again, add the word “see” (see tab. 1, see fig. 1)
