Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
• Please submit two versions of the article in Microsoft Word format: one with the authors’ names and one without. The version without authors will be sent to the reviewer.
• Please ensure that all references in the article are listed in the correct order and cited in the text as [1], [2], [3]. We also ask you to carefully prepare the bibliography, the References section, and all necessary article metadata, including:
  information about the authors (full name);
  affiliation and organization;
  ORCID ID;
  academic degree;
  email address;
  abstract and keywords.
• The text should be typed with single line spacing; font size 12 pt; emphasis should be applied using italics, not underlining (except for URLs); all illustrations, graphs, and tables should be placed in the appropriate locations within the text, not at the end of the document.
  
  The article will be returned for revision if:
  the article is less than 6 pages;
  the abstract contains fewer than 120 words;
  mandatory structural elements are missing: introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion;
  references in the text are not numbered in order or bibliographic details are incomplete;
  the References section lacks transliteration of sources, English titles, or indication of the language of the source [in Kazakh] or [in Russian];
  all required metadata and information about the authors are not provided.
