- Formulation of the goals of the article;
- Description of the method and research results;
- Conclusions and prospects of research in this direction.
The article structure should include: introduction, research method, results and their discussion, conclusions.
The manuscript of the article, including illustrations, captures to them, tables, a list of references, an abstract, should be submitted in electronic form.
The volume of the article (except review articles) should not exceed 25,000 characters with spaces, including a list of references, figures and captions to figures (required in Ukrainian and English) and tables.

The computer layout of the abstract, prepared in the Microsoft Office Word 2003 for Windows XP editor (convert formulas for Math Type 5) and figures in *.tif or *.cdr formats, regardless of which editor they were executed in (only in black and white version ) is submitted to the editorial office. The article is sent by e-mail: journal.pcmm@gmail.com (as an attachment).
The article must be accompanied by an official reference letter signed by the head of the institution where the research was conducted.

Requirements for the preparation of articles
The text of the article is typed on a sheet of A4 paper in the editor Microsoft Office Word 2003 for Windows XP (formulas are converted for Math Type 5).
Print: Times New Roman – 12 points; line spacing – one and a half.
On the first page, in the upper left corner, it is necessary to indicate the index of the paper according to the Universal Decimal Classification (UDK), below – the title of the article (no more than 2 lines), below it – the initials and surnames of the authors. The next line is the name of the organization, city, country, e-mail of the corresponding author. The title of the article, the organization and the full name of the authors are provided in Ukrainian and English.

The text of the article is typed in 12-point font with one and a half intervals
The article structure should include: introduction, research method, results and their discussion, conclusions
There should be no inscriptions in the figures. The English caption must be self-sufficient so that a reader who does not know the original language can understand from the caption what the figure illustrates. It is not allowed to duplicate the same data in tables, graphs, and the text of the article. Graphs with the same coordinates should preferably be made on the same scale.
