Articles and reviews should meet the following formatting requirements: font —14 pt Times New Roman, line spacing — 1.5, and spaces —1.25 cm. The text should be justified. The page number should be specified in the bottom center.

The author’s name, affiliation, and e-mail address should be specified at the beginning of the article, right-aligned (the title of the affiliation should be specified completely). The title of the affiliation should be followed by the address: a city and a country. If the article is written by several authors, the details of all should be specified.

Within the body of the article, references should be provided in Arabic numerals enclosed in square brackets. E.g. [1, p. 108]

Kindly refrain from using underlining in your document (italic and bold formatting is acceptable). The journal editorial board prefers to receive a manuscript as a single complete file with all figures, tables, and any additional supplemental materials.

The last name should be specified after the initials (e.g., J. Smith). The initials and last name should be separated by one space, the initials should not be separated. (e.g., J.J. Smith)

Gaps in citations and clarifications should be mentioned in square brackets. E.g., «градация способов, […] условий», «зона развития [в терминологии Л.С. Выготского] обусловлена».

If the cited text originally features italics, spaced-out printing, bold text, or their combination, no comment is required. If highlighting is provided by the author, it should be mentioned in round brackets (e.g. Italics added — J. Smith).

List of references: Sources should be numbered and mentioned on a separate line. The numbering of sources in the list of references should match the references in the body of the article.

Charts, graphs, and schemes should be made in Microsoft Office Excel in the *.xlsx or *.xls formats. These made in Microsoft Office Word are also allowed.
