Writing any scientific article is a labour-intensive process that requires compliance with certain stages, scientific format and clear logic of its presentation. In this section we will talk about frequent mistakes of authors, which we see in the articles attached to our journal.
So, the title of the article should be short and easy to read, while reflecting the main idea of the article as accurately as possible. It should contain the problem and the promise of its solution, which arouses readers' interest and motivation. However, among the frequent mistakes of authors when formulating the title of the article, the following problems can be identified: firstly, the title is too general, which does not make it clear what the text of the article is about; secondly, the title of the article does not correspond to its content; thirdly, when translated into a foreign language, unwanted meanings appear in the title of the article, which should also be taken into account; and lastly, the title of the article lacks the main keywords.
In the abstracts of some articles there is insufficient consideration of the structural requirements for their design, while they should contain briefly stated information about the relevance, purpose, leading methods and (or) techniques, author's results and practical significance of the article materials. There is also insufficiently concise justification of the relevance of the research, clearly disclosing the necessity and timeliness of solving the proposed problem. Another of the most common mistakes of authors in the design of the abstract is the unclear justification of the leading approaches, methods or techniques underlying the study. In some abstracts there is a blurred representation of the author's results.
