This chapter should discuss why the paper is valuable to the reader from a scientific point of view.

Main part – Encompasses the research methodology and the results obtained.

Conclusion - Encompasses the findings, possible recommendations and future

prospects.

List of references - The literature listed in the references is neither numbered nor marked. The list should be arranged in alphabetical order according to the authors' last names (in the absence of such) or titles.

Footnotes:

Footnotes are placed at the end of pages in the text of the article. It is possible to see both the cited and paraphrased sources (literature, normative material, judicial practice) given in the text of the article, which are numbered (font size - 10) and the author’s notes (comments) that are marked an asterisk (*) and therefore, they are not numbered.

Considerations:

  1. All papers submitted for publication in the collection of scientific papers will be checked on plagiarism detection software called Turnitin. The paper is evaluated positively if the similarity coefficient does not exceed 10%;
  2. All papers submitted for publication in the collection of scientific papers will undergo a two-stage blind review by experts of the field. In case of differences found between the experts' conclusions, the article will be sent to a third reviewer for evaluation. Articles will be published in case of getting a positive review. The author(s) of the article will be responsible for the opinions expressed in the article.
