The second block of References contains the same sources, but in English, formatted according to the international bibliographic standard APA [requirements for making References], we recommend using a free online service https://www.citethisforme.com. We remind you that the titles of books, articles, and other scientific sources written in a non-English language (non-Latin) are translated, and the names of authors, names of journals, and publishing houses are transliterated. It is best to take the titles of articles in English and the transliterated surnames of the authors directly from the articles - in most journals they are given together with abstracts in English. We recommend using a free online service to transliterate literature from the Ukrainian language https://slovnyk.ua/translit.php

The recommended number of references in a scientific article is from 3 to 15.

We recommend making references to publications published in the last 5 years, as well as included in the SCOPUS or Web of Science scientometric databases. In no case should you add links to publications that are not related to your article to the list of references. We also recommend referring to the articles in this journal.

Self-citations should not exceed 10% of the total number of references.

The editors will give preference to scientific publications that take these wishes into account.
