  2. DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE STRUCTURAL SECTIONS OF THE ARTICLE:

«Introduction» and «Literature review and problem statement»

The introduction section should contain the overview of the current level of the scientific knowledge about the problem in the scientific world and national literature (minimum of 30 references). First of all, it is necessary to cite English-language sources published over the past five years with the DOI index. Installation to which area of science (production) include studies referred to in Article. Justification of the relevance of the problem to be solved by the author. Literature review and problem statement. Analysis of research and publications in which the problem was solved other scientists, the allocation of unsolved by parts of the problem which is devoted to this article.

«The aim and objectives of the study» and «Materials and methods of research»

The structural section begins with the formulation of the object of research, the subject of research and the purpose of the work. The introduction with the formulation of the problems that have not been solved in the research line. The section should show modern methods and techniques of research, the application of which ensures obtaining reliable results. This section should show the correct choice by the author (s) of the methodical approach to solving the problem.

«Results of research» and «Discussion of results»

The section can be divided into subsections, if necessary. The requirements for this section writing are general, as for all international scientific publications. Details of the manuscript design are available on the website (https://forest-woodworking.nltu.edu.ua/index.php/journal).

  • The individual details are as follows.
  • Latin names of genera and species of plants need to be shown in italics, and the author's name and year of the species description - in regular font.
  • You cannot refer to a table or figure as a separate single sentence. If there is only one table or figure in the text, they are not numbered, but the references are given in the text: table (fig).The repeated reference to the item: see table (see fig.).
  • The captions for the tables and figures (as well as notes to them) must be as comprehensive as possible and clearly formulated, so that the reader can understand their meaning without having to search for the relevant explanations in the sections of the article.
  • Please avoid using vertical line borders. Only horizontal lines are given - in the "head" of the table and at the end of the table.
  • Units of measurement of the SI system are given without a point (.) (m, g, ha, mole), and non-standardized units - with abbreviations (pcs / m2, etc.).
  • It is necessary to distinguish between the symbols "––", "–" , and "-". The first one is not used in the manuscript.
  • It is desirable not to use abbreviations of scientific terms in the article.
  • To confirm the validity of the data, the results obtained should be processed by mathematical methods. Without such processing, articles are not accepted for publication.
  • The figures and photos shown in the text should be provided as a separate file (e.g., JPG) to be able to edit them.
  • Graphs and charts should anticipate the possibility of editing them (you need to submit them as separate files, for example, in an Excel environment).

Conclusions

The conclusion section is the most important part of the scientific article, which highlights the summary of the research results and puts forward suggestions regarding the objectives formulated in the introduction. Conclusions are formulated clearly and concisely, they should follow from the results of the studies. The findings mark the degree of achievement of the stated goal of the work with the help of the used methods and techniques of the research.

 Successfully formulated conclusions logically complete the scientific work, making it coherent and accomplished. While the introduction specifies the goal and objectives of the research, the conclusions indicate whether this goal has been achieved  with the help of the established research methods.

Conclusions should be concise and presented n text or list form (5 to 15 sentences).

Acknowledgements (if necessary)

The acknowledgements section is placed after the conclusions section before the bibliographic references.

Bibliographic references

The literature must be in international format in accordance with the APA 6th Edition standard (American Psychological Association (APA) Style) as defined in:

Single self-citations  in bibliographic references - no more than 50%.

The amount of used literature sources – at least 30 titles.

Most of the cited literature sources should have a DOI and  be available on the Internet (be represented in electronic catalogs, libraries, databases).

For proper citation, when processing scientific information on the topic of the article, you should analyze the latest publications on the sites:

References can be only made to officially known sources: articles, books, conferences, standards, laws, patents, theses, etc.

It is unacceptable to cite in literary sources methodological guidelines, news sites (with non-static information), incomplete sources (without authorship, title, year of publication, etc.).

When referring to an article in a scientific journal, you should pay attention to the fact that each journal has an officially registered title in Latin letters. Therefore, to facilitate the work, you need to find its title on the journal's website, in the archive - a specific article that is referred to, and use the English-language title of this article for reference.
