Requirements of the editorial board for the author’s manuscripts

The editorial board accepts original manuscripts that have not been published or disclosed previously, including:

• research article: 4000-6000 words, presenting the results of the original author’s research on a scientific problem, justification of a new methodological approach or technique, modification or improvement of an existing research method;
• review article: 6000-10000 words, providing a detailed review of previously published research, methodological approaches, and solutions to a specified problem with a mandatory critical evaluation. The main aim of review articles is to identify potentially relevant areas of scientific knowledge for further development and to formulate new conclusions based on existing data;
• research report: 2500-4000 words, containing the results of statistical information processing, surveys, and questionnaires on a specified scientific problem to disclose scientific details, discovered facts, and other essential aspects of knowledge;
• book review: up to 2500 words, providing a critical expert review of a recently published scientific book, such as a monograph, textbook, or educational manual.

The editorial board accepts articles written exclusively in English. Simultaneous submission of the manuscript to other scientific periodicals is not allowed!

Technical requirements for design:

The length of articles should be between 2500 to 10000 words in A4 format, font size – 11, font – Cambria, spacing – 1, margins: top – 20 mm; bottom – 20 mm; left – 20 mm; right – 20 mm; paragraph indent – 10 mm.

Manuscripts should be formatted without automatic hyphenation. A space must be placed between words, on both sides of a dash, between digits in large numbers; a non-breaking space should be used between initials and surnames, between a number and the “%” sign, between numbers and currency symbols, between the “№” symbol and the following digit, etc. No space is placed before a period, comma, colon, semicolon, exclamation mark, or question mark, before and after a hyphen, between brackets and the text or numbers within them, or in compound numbers between numeric and letter designations (e.g., 24a).

Only quotation marks “” are used in texts written in Latin script!

Tabular and graphical material (font size 8–10, font – Microsoft Sans Serif, spacing – 1) should have a number and title. The number and title of the table are centred above the table, and the number and title of the figure are centred below the figure. All graphic objects must be editable, so files with such objects created in appropriate editors should be sent to the editorial office’s email address along with the text of the author’s manuscript.

The editorial board recommends using the TEMPLATE when writing an article

The article must be accompanied by abstracts in both Ukrainian and English, each containing at least 250 words. The abstract should reflect the brief content of the manuscript, typically following this structure:

• description of the research objective;
• brief information about the scientific methods and approaches used;
• summary of the obtained results;
• a brief statement of the scientific novelty of the article;
• theoretical significance (for review articles);
• practical significance (for research articles and short communications).

The text of the article should be structured into the following sections:

1. Introduction. Contains the general problem statement and justification of its relevance to important scientific or practical tasks.
2. Literature Review. Includes an analysis of recent research and publications (preferably within the last ten years) that have initiated the resolution of the investigated problem and on which the author relies. At the end of the literature review, the unresolved parts of the general problem addressed in the article should be highlighted.
3. Problem Statement. Formulates the main research objective and the tasks that must be solved to achieve the goal.
4. Material and Methods. Describes the primary sources of statistical information and the research methods used.
5. Results and Discussion. Provides a detailed presentation of the main research materials with a complete justification of the obtained scientific results and their comparison with similar results, including a description of possible obstacles and ways to overcome them.
6. Conclusions. Presents the evaluation results of whether the primary research objective and tasks have been achieved, provides recommendations and proposals for improving the research object, specifies the effects obtained from the research (social, economic, environmental, etc.), characterises the scientific novelty, practical significance, and application directions of the obtained results, as well as the prospects for further research in this direction.
7. Acknowledgment. Formulated if there is a need to express gratitude to everyone who assisted in the work on the manuscript, mentions the grant provider, and the title of the research project if the research was externally funded.
8. Appendices. Included if necessary.
9. References. Arranged alphabetically in APA Style: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples; https://www.grafiati.com/uk/info/apa-7/examples/. The names, initials of the authors, titles of sources, and periodicals written in languages based on Cyrillic script must be transliterated into Latin script, with an obligatory translation into English in square brackets.

In the bibliographic description of the source, the website address where it is located must be indicated. Citation without a link is allowed only for printed sources that are not available in a digital online format. Each bibliographic description in the References section must have a corresponding citation in the manuscript text. Most sources should be from the last ten years and have an active DOI. Preferably, references to journal publications indexed in Scopus and/or Web of Science should predominate. The number of sources used should be at least 20.

For citations, APA Style is used. When formatting citations in the text, follow the citation rules regulated by APA Style.

References to literary sources in the text should be exclusively in parentheses: (Douglas, 2023, p. 146). References to 2 or more sources are formatted in reverse chronological order as follows: (Minenko, 2022, p. 126; Maral, 2017, pp. 45, 112–123; Lysyi, 2008, p. 128). Other cases of citation:

– source with three authors: (Muravenko, Marenko, & Lysyi, 2022, pp. 146–150);

– source with four or more authors: (Muravenko et al., 2022, p. 257);

– source authored by an organisation: (The World Bank, 2024);

– source without an author: (Title of the source instead of the author for the first mention in full, can be abbreviated after that);

– edited source: (Muravenko (Ed.), 2022, p. 258);

– sources by one author, published in different years: (Muravenko, 2022, p. 258; 2018, p. 143);

– sources by one author, published in the same year – (Muravenko, 2022a, pp. 146–148; 2018b, p. 113);

– reference to a law or other normative acts (The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, 2022). Here, 2022 is the year the normative act was adopted.

The sources in the list are not numbered but organised alphabetically by author’s last names and chronologically when there are references to more than one work by the same author (by publication year, starting with the earliest).

If citing several works by one author (or a group of authors) published in the same year, they are listed in alphabetical order by the titles in the References section; to the publication year in such cases, a small Latin letter a, b, c, etc. is added.

In the “Literature Review” section of the Ukrainian version of the manuscript, the last names and initials of the authors must be indicated in parentheses and transliterated into Latin with the publication year in the References List. For example: H. Bohrach (Bohrach, 2018), S. Rodrigas (Rodrigas, 1985), J. Bakhwati and K. Ramada (Bakhwati, & Ramada, 1984), H. Vrubel and A. Prescott (Vrubel, & Prescott, 1976).

Author manuscripts with author information (in a single file) and files of graphical objects are sent to the journal’s email address __________.

All submitted materials undergo a mandatory internal and double-masked external peer review process.

Manuscripts that do not meet the publication profile or the basic requirements are returned for revision or rejected.

The authors are responsible for the content of the manuscript and the accuracy of scientific information (names, last names, citations, statistical data).

Opinions and proposals expressed in the articles do not necessarily coincide with the editorial board’s viewpoint.

The editorial board reserves the right to edit the text of the article during typesetting, literary editing, and preparation of the journal issue for publication on the official website.

After submission to the European Journal of Interdisciplinary Issues, the manuscript is prohibited from being submitted and published in other scientific publications.

A procedure for retracting an article is provided at all stages of the publication process.

After peer review and acceptance of the manuscript for publication, the corresponding author is sent a layout of the article for approval.

One author (co-author) can publish only one article in the journal’s current issue.
