Author Guidelines

The editorial board of the journal ”Digital Platform: Information Technologies in Sociocultural Sphere” accepts scientific articles with research and development materials.

Articles’ manuscripts should be made subject to such requirements.

Article structure

The article begins with an annotation, which is given:

• research purpose;
• research methods;
• scientific novelty;
• conclusions.

1. The main text of an article should begin with an introduction, written in a form accessible to the understanding of a wide range of specialists in the science field. The introduction sets out the problem in general terms and coverage of its connection with important scientific or practical tasks.

2. The main part of the article describes and thoroughly explains the statements and results obtained during the research. You should not overload the article with a large number of formulas, duplicating the same results in tables and charts. It is advisable to avoid long table names and drawings. The terms and abbreviations adopted in the text of the article should be used. Indications and little-known terms should be explained.

3. The final part should contain an example (if possible) illustrating the results effectiveness obtained and conclusions that reflect the main results and prospects for further research. The conclusions should be in full agreement with the content of the main text.

4. The main text of the article should be divided into sections with names that reflect their content (introduction, research findings, conclusions).

Article volume:

• Review-generalization character - up to 17 pages of A4 format;
• problematic nature - up to 14 pages of A4 format;
• about solving a specific scientific problem - 7-10 pages of A4 format;
