Articles should be accompanied with the Warranty Form and the additional accompanying documents necessary for Ukrainian contributors, which may be sent by conventional mail, fax or electronic mail (PDF file).

Manuscript should be arranged in the following order: title of the article, authors' names, institutions and addresses (including E-mails), abstract, keywords and PACS numbers, text, acknowledgments, appendices and references. As a rule, articles should be divided into sections (Introduction, Experimental, Results and discussion, Conclusions, etc.). 
Manuscript length: The maximum length of manuscripts is 50 pages (for invited articles or reviews), 20 pages (for regular articles) and 10 pages (for short notes or letters). The text should be typed, using Times New Roman font (11-point size, 1.2-line spacing).

Abstracts: Each manuscript requires a leading abstract (less than 100–150 words) in English and Ukrainian summarising significant coverage and findings. 
Keywords and UDC: Three to six keywords are required, which characterise the contents of the article, and relevant UDC numbers.    
Figures: Figures may be inserted immediately into the text or gathered at the end of the article. All of them should be numbered with consecutive Arabic numbers, have descriptive captions and be referred to in the text. Captions should be set immediately below the figures. Figures should be prepared in a readable computer form, with the resolution not less than 600 dpi (TIFF, PCX or PS formats). Colour figures should be prepared only in TIFF format (300 dpi).
