The paper should not contain the materials suppressed for publication in the press in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Belarus.
Contents of a paper should be written in line with the scope of the journal. The paper should be written in Russian, Belarusian and English, edited thoroughly and submitted in two copies to the Editorial Office.

A paper, as a rule, should include Introduction, Body Text, Conclusion and Literature. The title of the paper must be concise. It describes the main idea of your research.
In the Introduction the author gives a brief review of literature, his grounds and specific objectives, he describes links with scientific and practical branches. All background information such as reference to the papers of others authors and some previous publications (including foreign ones) in the field of investigation is necessary.
The main part should contain description of the techniques used and objects of investigation within a large scientific framework. This part may be divided into subsection (with explanatory headings). It provides the readers with the analysis of the publications on the problem described in these subsections.
Formulas, figures and tables should be sequentially numbered in the framework of the section, for example: (1.1), (2.3), figure 1.1, table 2.1. The author should number only the formulas with appropriate references. The formula number is placed on the right side of the page and the formula itself is centred.
Figures and tables should be put into a contextual framework. The size of figures and charts does not exceed 10õ15 cm. Halftone photos should be glossy and contrast. Do not repeat extensively in the text the data you have presented in tables and figures.
Each table should have the heading, in which units of measure describe the values under consideration. All measurements and data should be given in SI units, or if SI units do not exist, in an international accepted unit. The authors are advised to avoid abbreviations except for generally accepted ones (i. e., etc.). Define all abbreviations the first time they are used.
In the Conclusion the received data are described in concise form. The novelty of these results, advantages and possibility of practical use are presented.
Publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. References should be given in their original spelling, numbered in the order they appear in the text and contain full bibliography. Please, do not cite unpublished papers.
