Tables, graphs, pictures, schemes

The use of figures to demonstrate an argument or illustrate a finding is strongly encouraged. Authors should ensure that the graphical content of any figures is legible and of high quality. No color should be used as it cannot be included in the print version of the Journal. Text in the figures should be in no less than 11-point type font.

All tables and graphs should be also submitted in separate .xls / .xlsx files in editable form.

Pictures and schemes are recommended to be prepared in .ppt / .pptx formats and should also be submitted in editable form.

Authors of the manuscript must possess rights for all graphic content used in it. Tables and graphs should be given with a full reference to its source (see below). Data from another work should be given with a reference to its source only (especially if it is not available for open access), without copying graphs and pictures. Application of tables and graphs composed by other authors should be motivated and not violate any copyright.


Abstract

The manuscript must include an abstract of 250-300 words. The abstract should provide a very concise descriptive summary of the research stream to which the manuscript contributes, the specific research topic it addresses, the research strategy employed for analysis, the results obtained from the analysis, and the implications of the findings.


Bibliography

The manuscript should have a bibliography. Each source from it must have a reference in the text. Absence of a bibliography can be a reason for rejecting registration of the manuscript. Material for the rubric “Academic life” may not include a bibliography. Materials for the rubric “Reflecting on matters in print” are accepted in two formats: a) in the form of a short analytical review (not to exceed 15 000 chars with spaces) of recently published book – in this case, review may not contain a bibliography, – and b) in the form of a profound analytical scientific review of a topic (20-30k chats with spaces) inspired by publication of a new book (in this case, bibliography is obligatory).

References to academic literature, analytical reports and articles in academic journals should be given as in-text bibliographic references which include the authors’ last names, year of publication and page numbers. If no authors are given in the bibliography, in-text reference for such work should include its title (a long one can be separated by elision marks); after-text bibliography should contain full titles:

 Некипелов 2006: 327]; [Vooren, Blockmans, Wouters 2013: 255]; [Транснациональные… 2011: 7-13].

– References for information resources, official and other sources, as well as Internet resources (not scientific and analytical materials) should be given in footnotes:
