This is especially important for foreign readers who do not speak Russian, and when choosing scientific articles on their subject, they focus mainly on the English abstract. The author's task is to make an abstract so that the reader can not only understand the main content of the article, but also be able to quote it based on the abstract. Please note that it is not allowed to provide links to sources in the annotation. Non-common abbreviations must have a transcript.
When writing an annotation, it is recommended to use an active voice and avoid general constructions.: "The article talks about ...", "Substantiates the idea that ...", "As a result of the study, it was revealed that ...", etc. The abstract should reflect all the main research methods, the results obtained and the conclusions formulated. The recommended abstract length is 200-250 words.
Keywords are the main means of searching for a scientific article. They should reflect the main provisions, achievements, results, terminology of scientific research. It is not recommended to include universal keywords: "analysis", "hypothesis", "research", etc. Keywords are separated by commas, and no dot is placed after the last word. The recommended number is 5-10 keywords/phrases.
Acknowledgements: the sources of research funding are indicated (grant, government assignment, government contract, etc., with mandatory indication of the numbers of agreements, contracts, contracts, etc.); thanks are expressed to colleagues who are not co-authors of the article, but participated in the discussion of the materials of the article or otherwise provided support during its writing.
