Abstract. This template explains and demonstrates how to prepare your manuscript for a publisher. Please ensure that your manuscript is copyread, and all misprints are corrected. For the whole paper, please use Times New Roman 14, 1.5 line spacing. The first line of each new paragraph should be indented by one-tab space, which should be set to a half-inch or 1.27 cm (except for the paper title, authors' names, and affiliations). Please adjust the page settings of your word processor to A4 format (21 x 29.7 cm or 8 x 11 inches); with all margins of 2.5 cm (0.98 in). The main body should be preceded by abstract and keywords. For original research papers the abstract should be structured as follows: Introduction, Aim, Materials and Methods, Results, Conclusions. The Aim should not repeat the title of the manuscript. Description of methods should be concise and illustrative of approaches and research methodology. The Results section should also be concise and clear. Please reduce it to essential theoretical and experimental results of the research, newly discovered scientific facts, correlations, and dependencies. Avoid repeating the information from the title in the Abstract. It is not recommended to use excessive parenthetical phrases such as "the paper covers…" The word limit for the Abstract is strictly 190 to 250 words. The Abstract section should be followed by several key words or phrases relevant to the paper subject to help databases create the most accurate search results. Keywords should be separated by commas; there is a final period at the end of the list.

Keywords: text formatting, manuscript submission, stylistic guidelines, author's instructions.

Introduction. The acceptable file format is Microsoft Office Word 2003 or 2007 (.DOC or .DOCX). All pages should be numbered. Please do not use automatic hyphenation. At the end of the paper, there should be complete information about the author(s). The recommended volume of the paper including tables, figures, and references is approximately 15 pages for review papers. Papers of a larger volume may be published only by agreement with the Editorial Board.

The manuscript should comprise the following sections: Introduction; Materials and Methods; Results; Conclusions; References.

Title Page. The title page should include the following information: 1. Paper title; 2. Initials and family names of all authors; 3. Full names of authors' affiliations including city and country. If there is more than one author, please mark each author's name and related affiliation with a superscript digit. If all the authors have the same affiliation, please state it just once. If an author is affiliated to several institutions, please mark each one with an individual superscript digit.

Tables and Figures. Tables and figures should be presented as a part of the text. Whenever a table or a figure is mentioned in the text, please provide a reference in standard brackets (for example, (Table 1), (Fig. 1)).

Tables should be numbered with Arabic figures (for example, Table 1) and preceded by a descriptive title/heading. If a table is placed on the separate page, please indicate its location. Table heading should be consistent with its content. The number of the table should be right-aligned, and the title should be centered. Both number and title are placed above the table. Small tables may be presented in the text without placing them on individual pages. All numbers in tables should be consistent with those in the text. Please avoid using abbreviations in tables. If it is necessary to use abbreviations, please provide appropriate explanations in a note right below the table.

Note:

* – p < 0.05 changes are significant for students with vagotonia;

** – p < 0.05 changes are significant for students with normotonia;

▲ – p < 0.05 changes are significant for students under normal conditions.

Figures. All illustrations in the manuscript, such as schemes, charts, drawings, diagrams, plots, maps, photographs, etc. are referred to as Figures. All Figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Each Figure should be followed by a caption providing its number, title, and legend if necessary. The caption is placed below the figure, centered. Captions of micro-photographs should include the description of staining method and magnification. It is acceptable to present computer graphic images with a resolution of 600 dpi (dots per inch) minimum. If necessary, mark details on figures with Arabic numerals or lowercase Latin letters, but be sure to provide an explanation in the legend. For plots and graphs with coordinate axes please give axis notations and units (for example, X axis — culture time, days; Y axis — enzyme activity, mL/min). A font size of all lettering in figures and tables should be at least 12pt. Large tables and figures should be presented on separate pages.

Formulas and Equations. Formulas and equations should be presented as an ordinary editable text, not as images, and consecutively numbered. Variables should be given in italic.

References and Quotations. Correct reference description is essential for citation and indexing. Original research papers should make reference to 20 sources minimum, review papers – to 60, and other materials – to 15 maximum. At least half of cited sources should be works and papers published within the last 5 years. Please arrange the list of references in alphabetical order. References are cited in the text by square brackets, i.e. [1]. If several sources are cited at the same time then references may be put in one set of brackets: [1, 3, 5–9, 25]. Documents, such as Orders, Acts, Federal Standards, Medical and Sanitary Regulations, Provisions, Federal Laws, etc. should not be included in the list of references; please put them as notes to the text. It is not acceptable to cite unpublished works. Self-citation should be avoided unless it is necessary (1-2 references in reviews). It is not recommended to cite dissertations, theses, etc.; please refer to papers published based on dissertation research. It is recommended to provide any additional information if available: DOI, authors' names, dates, publication sources, etc.
