• Introduction.
• Goal.
• Materials and methods.
• Results.
• Discussion.
• Conclusions.

Introduction. It highlights the state of the problem under consideration at the global level (not only within a given city or country), provides a brief overview of relevant data, critical evaluation of the literature relevant to the problem, justification of novelty and significance of the study, identifies unresolved questions and clear goals and objectives are set, which explain further research. Each of these keywords should be reflected in the introduction. It is recommended to avoid long analyzes and historical excursions. The introduction should contain at least 15 references to articles in periodicals published over the past 5-10 years.

The purpose of the study is formulated in a separate paragraph, corresponds to the title of the article and the content of the section “Results”.

Materials and methods. Quantitative and qualitative characteristics of patients or other objects of research, criteria of their inclusion and exclusion, description of research method (cohort, prospective, randomized drug trial, retrospective, series of observations), detailed description of new drug, method, modification, experiment, surgical intervention in a certain sequence. A brief description of the protocol (Standard Operating Protocol, SOP) is given. The section allows us to see that the study excluded all possible sources of error, that the author knows about all the factors that affect the results, and eliminated as much as possible the influence of these factors. At the end of the section, be sure to describe the methods of statistical data processing, indicating the company and country of manufacture of the programs used. It is necessary to indicate the nature of the sample distribution, parametric and / or non-parametric criteria used in the study. The section also provides information on the approval of the study by the local or central ethics committee, indicating the availability of written informed consent from patients to participate in the study. This section should be larger than the Results section.

The results should be clear and concise. The section includes a description and explanation of all data obtained with the results of their statistical processing, the level of evidence (I or II). The results should be presented in a logical sequence in the text, tables and figures. The text should not repeat all the data from the tables and figures, mention only the most important of them. The figures in the tables should not be duplicated in the figures. Measurement values must be in accordance with the International System of Units (SI), except for indicators traditionally measured in other units. The names of medicines must correspond to the international nomenclature of drugs. All letter designations and abbreviations must be explained in the text when first used. У цьому розділі відсутні посилання на літературу, немає інтерпретації даних і порівнянь з аналогічними результатами.

The discussion contains references to similar works (10-15 articles in international journals of the Scopus database for the last 5 years); new and important aspects of research results are highlighted and compared with already known data of other researchers. The information already provided in the Introduction section and the details in the Results section should not be repeated. The discussion can include sound recommendations for the implementation of the results or the need for further research on this topic.

The conclusions correspond to the purpose and title of the article. Conclusions should not be verbatim duplicated in the relevant part of the summary. Розділ повинен коротко описувати основні підсумки роботи.

Rubrication of reviews, lectures, discussion articles, observations from practice, methodological reports can be arbitrary. However, it is desirable that the comparison of reviews comply with international guidelines for systematic literature search methods and standards. Detailed information on comparing reviews can be found in the PRISMA guidelines. Recommended reporting elements for systematic review and meta-analysis are available at http://prisma-statement.org in the Key Documents section. Clinical observations designed in accordance with CARE recommendations are a priority. CARE recommendations can be found at http://care-statement.org

Tables are a self-sufficient element of the article and allow you to briefly and accurately present important information, thereby reducing the volume of the main text of the manuscript. Tables should contain only the necessary data and be generalized and statistically processed materials. Tables are placed in the text according to their first mention. Each table must have a title and serial number according to the first mention of it in the text. Do not use horizontal or vertical lines in middle tables. Each column in the table must have a short name. Each column in the table must have a short name.

«Матеріали і методи», у тому числі статистичні методи, використані для наведення варіабельності даних і вірогідності різниці. The abbreviations used in the table should be deciphered at the end of the legend in alphabetical order. References to tables in the text of the manuscript are made as follows: table. 1 (2, 3, etc.).

Illustrations (drawings, photographs, diagrams)

Each illustration should be a self-contained element of the article, have a common title and transcript of all abbreviations, so that the reader does not have to refer to the section “Materials and methods” or read the title of the article to understand it. In the text of the article, the illustrations are placed according to their first mention. References to the figure in the text of the manuscript are made as follows: fig. 1 (2, 3, etc.). The caption to each figure consists of its name and legend (explanation of parts of the figure, symbols: arrows and other details). An explanation of the content of the figure should be given in the legend, not in the figure itself. At the end of each legend it is necessary to indicate (in alphabetical order) and decipher all the abbreviations present in the figure, indicating the statistical criteria (methods) and parameters of statistical variability (standard deviation, standard error of the mean, etc.). It is recommended to indicate the statistical probability / probability of the difference of the data given in the tables with superscript symbols *, **, †, ††, ‡, ‡‡, etc.

The letters, numbers, and symbols in the pictures must contrast with the background, be clear, uniform, and large enough to remain legible after the picture is published. Identical illustrations must be the same size, scale, nature of information.

Diagrams must be drawn up correctly (signed names of axes, units of measurement in the SI system). Columns of charts that are probably different from each other are marked with *, **, ***. The subheading indicates n =… and the data comparison method. It is explained what “±” means near each data point (m, SD, SE, first and third quartiles, maximum and minimum data, etc.).

The captions to the graphs indicate the explanations for the abscissa and ordinate axes and units of measurement, explanations are given for each curve. Captions to microphotographs indicate the method of color and scale (degree of magnification).

Photographs of potentially identifiable people (patients whose face is not covered by a mask) must be accompanied by a written permission to publish. If the drawing (table, photograph) has been previously published somewhere, the original source must be indicated and written permission must be obtained from the copyright owner for the reproduction of the drawing, except for publicly available documents.

General recommendations

Each source should be placed on a new line under the serial number indicated in the text in Arabic numerals in square brackets. In the list all works are placed in the order of citation, NOT in alphabetical order. The optimal number of cited works in original articles and lectures is 20-30, in reviews – 40-60. It is desirable to cite original works published in the last 5-7 years in foreign periodicals, highly cited sources, including Scopus and Web of Science. Try to minimize or avoid self-citation. Also try to minimize references to abstracts of conferences, monographs. The list of literature does not include unpublished works, official documents, manuscripts of dissertations, textbooks and reference books.

Additional information about articles – DOI, PubMed ID, etc. should be provided. If less than half of the sources on the list have DOIs, the article cannot be published in an international scientific journal. Links should be verifiable. Before completing the bibliography, check each source at http://www.crossref.org/guestquery or https://scholar.google.com/

ALL AUTHORS must be listed in the bibliographic description of each source. Only in the case of 7 or more authors is the instruction “etc. (et al.) ”after the first three surnames. If the authors are 6 or less, “etc. (et al.) ”is not used. It is not allowed to shorten the title of the article. The title of English-language journals can be abbreviated. Usually this form of writing is accepted by the publication itself, you can find it on the website of the magazine, publisher, in the Journal List, on the ISSN website, or you must specify its full name without abbreviations. The names of domestic magazines cannot be shortened.
