-----------------------------
* A scientific article presenting the results of study, research, theoretical and practical developments of the author (or a group of authors) must be based on the author's sources or facts that have either not been introduced into scientific circulation so far, or have not answered those questions that put by the author (group of authors) of the original article.
The text of the original article should have a certain structure with highlighted (or unselected) headings:
• introduction to the problem;
• presentation and analysis of scientific facts;
• discussion of the results of observations;
• conclusion;
• reference list of references.
The style of the original article, as a rule, does not imply a narrative (a chronological account of events), but an argumentation, that is, a system of logical reasoning "premise-evidence-conclusion", which builds and presents a solution to a scientific problem.
