• Guidelines for writing an abstract

  The abstract reflects the scientific content of the paper; it includes the information about the problem solved, methods of solution, results and conclusions. The abstract should not contain figures, tables, formulas, references, and not make mention of funding sources. Only syntactical patterns proper for scientific and technical language should be used in the abstract text, too complicated grammatical structures should be avoided.

  When the abstract is translated into English, it is necessary to use terms that are common to specialized foreign texts, direct transliteration of Russian terms cannot be tolerated. It is necessary to observe the uniformity of terminology within the abstract text.
