Requirements for materials sent for publication and structural elements of scientific articles

Articles submitted to the publisher must correspond to the profile of the scientific periodical and the subject of the journal, as well as the requirements for scientific publications. They must be relevant, new, have scientific and practical significance, as well as theoretical and practical value.

The editorial board does not accept materials prepared in the format of an abstract. The author should not only demonstrate a good knowledge of the issue under discussion and the works of scientists who studied it before, but also bring a certain scientific novelty to his publication.
Selected excerpts from theses, books, and monographs are not accepted for publication, since the style of such materials does not correspond to the journal genre, and materials previously published in other journals are also not accepted.

Requirements for abstracts

The abstract is a concise summary of the essence of the material, makes it possible to identify the main content of the document, determine its relevance, and allows you to decide whether to refer to the full document. An abstract is used in information systems, including automated systems, to search for documents and information.

The abstract reflects:

- the subject, purpose of the paper;
- the method or methodology of the research;
- research results;
- field of application of the results;
- novelty;
- conclusions.

The allowable length of the abstract is from 150 to 200 words.

It is recommended to use the following phrases in the abstract: "The subject of research is...", "The object of research is...", "The methods/methodology of...", "The following aspects are considered...", "The main conclusions are", "The author's contribution to research is...", "It is determined/identified/established...", "This article deals with the problem. ...", "The idea that ...", "The comparison of ...", "The problems of ...", "The author concludes ...", "The features of ...", "The concepts of ...", "The experience of ...", "The position that ..." etc.

Keyword requirements

Keywords express the main semantic content of the article, serve as a guide for the reader and are used to find articles in electronic databases, so they should reflect the discipline (field of science in which the article is written), topic, purpose and object of research. The main requirement imposed on the keywords is a strict definition of their meaning.

As keywords can be used as single words, as well as word combinations in singular and nominative case.

The number of keywords - at least 10 in Russian and English, the number of words within a phrase - no more than three.

The keywords can be words, terminological phrases, phrases (in exceptional cases), abbreviations, numerical characteristics, proper names, symbolic designations. Common terms (method, methods, principle, properties, problems, application, etc.) are given in keywords only in combination with other words that narrow their meaning. For example: risk assessment, coordinate method, tactical and technical characteristics (not: risk, method, characteristics). Adjectives are used in combination with nouns to achieve strict definiteness of meaning.

Requirements for the main body of the article

The text of the article must be carefully proofread and checked. Authors are responsible for the content of the article, for the accuracy of the facts, quotations, statistics and other data, names and other information given in the article.

The article should clearly indicate the relevance, scientific significance, methodology, purpose of research, results, and conclusions, as well as provide an exhaustive analysis of relevant sources.

Content-wise, the text should be divided into sections. The sections "Introduction" and "Conclusion" are obligatory. In addition, the presence of headings, reflecting the semantic blocks of the work, such as review of research literature, research methodology, the results of research, discussion of the results of research, is welcome.

Borrowings and citations

When submitting an article to the editors, it should be provided with a screenshot of the check for borrowings, carried out through the service antiplagiat.ru

The editors reserve the right to refuse to publish the article or to send it for substantial revision in case of detection of borrowings, as well as excessive quoting of sources without any apparent reason. The percentage of originality recommended by the publisher is 75-80%.

The recommended volume of the article is up to 28,000 characters with spaces (increasing the volume is possible by agreement with the editorial board).

Requirements for references, footnotes and bibliography

The presence of references to sources in the material sent for publication is mandatory.

Footnotes are made page by page with a continuous numbering.

The bibliography is a list of works cited by the author in the material submitted for publication. The list does not include Internet sources, normative acts, materials of judicial and investigative practice.

These elements of the article are executed according to the requirements of the publishing house, based on GOST 7.0.5-2008. Bibliographic References, and GOST 7.1-2003. Bibliographic Record. Bibliographic description. In case of gross violations of the standards specified in these GOSTs, the editorial board may return the article for revision.

Each article is assigned an eLIBRARY Document Number (EDN) and a DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

eLIBRARY Document Number (EDN) is a unique code assigned to all documents on the eLIBRARY.RU

platform. Its use and dissemination will help to more effectively solve a number of problems that arise

when working with scientific information.

DOI (Digital Object Identifier) – is an international standard for naming information presented on the

Internet about various digital objects, including your publication.

DOI is a unique string of letters and numbers, which is a kind of "digital passport" of an article or book

with an exact indication of the path (link) to its permanent location on the Internet.

The standards for using DOI are developed by the International DOI Foundation (IDF). There are 10 DOI

registration agencies in the world. Identifiers for scientific publications are registered by the Scientific

Electronic Library eLIBRARY.ru, with which the Editorial Board of the journal "Russian Justice" cooperates.

The journal uses the institutional repository of the Russian Scientific Electronic Library eLIBRARY.ru as a digital archive: information about the journal.
In addition, the full texts of the journal's articles are stored on the publisher's server and can be found via the journal's home page.
