Introduction is an introductory part, in which explanations are presented in a scientific style, why the author decided to study this topic, substantiates the reasons for interest in a particular issue and its relevance. In this block, special terms are explained, abbreviations are revealed. The introduction does not repeat the abstract; its purpose is to reveal the hypothesis or topic of the publication. It describes the nature and extent of the problem and how far it has been studied. It is not necessary to cite all the works published on this topic, it is enough to mention the most significant of them, only those that are directly related to the topic. It is recommended to refer not only to domestic, but also foreign studies on the topic under study. The introduction includes the relevance of the research topic, a review of the literature on the research topic, and the formulation of the research problem. At the end of the section, the aim of the study is formulated. The aim is formulated in such a way that the reader has a complete understanding of what is planned to be studied, from which persons and with the help of which method. It also lists the tasks set to achieve the goal. The introduction answers the questions: Why was the study done? What was investigated? What was the purpose of the study? What hypotheses were tested?
Methods is the section that describes the course of the study, materials, empirical data, in fact, research methods; description of the course of the study, which can be repeated, and the methods used. Here are the methods that were used by the author. Recommendations on the use of other methods for studying a given problem should be included in the Discussion section.
Results is the section, in which the author talks about what he managed to achieve in the course of the study, what answer was found. The section is intended only to present the main results of the study. The results obtained in this study are not compared with the results of similar studies by other authors and are not discussed.
Discussion is a section that provides an opportunity for reasoning and discussion. It analyzes and evaluates the results in the context of the existing scientific literature. The discussion contains the interpretation of the results of the study, including the correspondence of the results to the hypothesis of the study; limitations of the study and generalization of its results; suggestions for practical application; suggestions for the direction of future research. The discussion answers the questions: What does the answer imply and why does it matter? How does this fit in with what other researchers have found? What are the prospects for research?
Conclusions is clearly articulated information that summarizes the study; brief summaries of the sections of the article without repeating the wording given in them.
References include only the sources used in the preparation of the article, designed in accordance with the standard procedure adopted by the publisher.
Acknowledgments (if any). In this section you can express your gratitude to people or organizations who helped to carry out your research, whose role in the research does not correspond to the author's contribution or funding.

- Please use GOST 7.0.5–2008 for sources in Russian and in foreign languages.
- Please use BSI version at https://antropophob.ru/translit-bsi for transliteration in Latin with further translation of referenced sources into English.
References in accordance with GOST 7.0.5.2008 must be given in alphabetical order at the end of the article in the form of a numbered list, through an indent. It is recommended not to include published normative legal acts in the list and to make an in-text reference to them; it is given directly in the line after the text to which it refers. For example, in the text of the article: “Among the sources of service law, legislation regulating military service is worth mentioning (On military duty and military service: Federal Law of March 28, 1998 No. 53-FZ).”
The number of referenced sources is recommended to be limited to 10 items, for a historiographic article, reviews and other genres related to the analysis of a significant number of publications a list of references must not exceed 20 - 25.
The list of references should include links to English-language and Russian-language sources indexed in databases (with rare exceptions, the absence of English-language sources is acceptable).
All references indicated in the list of references should be included in the text of the article.
It is necessary to minimize the citation of textbooks, manuals, reference books, dictionaries, collections of articles, dissertations, and other small-circulation publications, which, on the one hand, cannot be the basis for serious scientific research, and on the other hand, may not be available.
It is important to have the DOI identifier in the bibliography (if available). If the cited article has a DOI, it must be indicated at the end of the description. If the cited source does not have a DOI, but is located on the Internet, it is desirable to include the URL of its location in the description.
References in English include the full name of the authors and the English title of the article. If there is no English-language metadata in the cited articles, it is necessary to translate the title of the article into English (paraphrase); please transliterate authors' names. Russian-language titles of journals must be transliterated; the exception is journals that recommend for citation and use a parallel English title in the journal (in ISDB). Please add the language of the source (e.g., In Russ.) at the end of the referenced source. If the bibliographic description includes letter designations of output data (volume, number, pages), then regardless of the language of the source, they should be represented by abbreviations of English words (vol., no., pp.). If the lists of references include sources that will never be indexed in the ISDB (monographs, articles from collections, reports of non-indexed conferences), the names of their authors can be transliterated according to the chosen transliteration system, and the titles of publications and titles of articles can be fully translated into English. References to Germanic and Romance languages can be left in the original language (German, French, Spanish, Italian, etc.).
