Main text of the article:

The relevance of the topic, which justifies the importance and timeliness of the chosen research subject, lies in identifying a problem that requires scientific analysis and resolution at the present stage. It should demonstrate the significance of its resolution for both the scientific and practical components, as well as for society as a whole. The relevance of the topic demonstrates the extent to which the issue under study is under-researched and requires further investigation.

The state of research reflects those aspects and related issues pertaining to this topic that have been addressed in the works of scholars. Within this section, the main approaches, ideas, and research results of scholars who have contributed to the development of the topic chosen by the author(s) are analyzed. At the same time, issues that remain under-researched or have been overlooked and require scientific analysis are identified.

The purpose of the article is to clearly define the main objective of the research, which is to identify, analyse, and substantiate certain aspects of the chosen topic. It differs significantly from existing views by proposing conceptual approaches to understanding the problem under study, or by deepening existing and expanding traditional understandings of it. The purpose of the article stems from the relevance of the topic and takes into account current research findings.

The presentation of the main material is the core of the article, in which the key provisions and results of the scientific research, the author’s ideas and reasoning, the scientific facts obtained, the identified patterns, interrelationships, and trends are highlighted. This section systematically describes the course of the research and provides a detailed analysis of the results obtained. This section should demonstrate a substantive, complete, and comprehensive justification of the results obtained.

The conclusions present the key findings of the study. They highlight the scientific novelty of the main results obtained and outline prospects for further research on these issues. The conclusions should reflect the extent to which the article’s stated objective was achieved and, if applicable, identify any goals that were not met within the scope of the study.

The list of references contains a list of materials used by the author(s) during the research. References are formatted according to established requirements (American Psychological Association / APA), in the language in which they were published, and are listed in alphabetical order without numbering.

If you need to cite multiple sources, list them separated by semicolons – (Andrienko, 2012; Petrenko, 2013; Sergienko, 2011). If the source has two authors, it is formatted as follows: (Andrienko & Petrenko, 2013); if there are more than two, then (Andrienko et al., 2013); if in English, then (Andrienko et al., 2013).
