Economics of Development

Abstract

The Abstract should be informative (not contain general words), structured (follow the logic of the article presentation), meaningful (clearly formulate the relevance, goal, scientific methods of problem analysis, disclose the main research results, as well as the practical value of the study) and be from 200 to 300 words. The Abstract should not contain abbreviations, footnotes, and references.

Keywords

5-7 words or phrases related to the subject matter do not duplicate the title of the article and do not consist of common words.

Introduction

The section highlights the current state of the problem under study at the global level, analyses the latest research and publications (7-10 works of other researchers) with links to scientific publications over the past 3-5 years. The relevance, purpose, objectives and the novelty of the study are substantiated. References to literature must be presented in round brackets. One citation should not include more than 3 sources.

Literature Review/Theoretical Overview

This section is optional and should contain the results of research by scientists who analysed certain aspects of the subject matter. Each name of the researcher must be accompanied by a corresponding reference from the list of references.

Materials and Methods

The section describes the main stages of the study and justifies the choice of the methods, techniques, approaches, or actions used to obtain new scientific research results. The strategies and criteria for sampling (if the article contains an empirical part) are explained, the experimental basis of the study is noted. The stated methodology should provide a complete picture of the research progress so that it can be repeated by other scientists with the use of the same materials and methods. Materials and Methods are required in the structure of a scientific article.

Results and Discussion

The section presents the main material of the study with full justification of the scientific results obtained. Tabular or graphical materials are necessarily accompanied by the results of statistical data processing. Sources are placed under tables and figures. Value judgments should be avoided, as well as the elements of the description of the methodology and direct repetition of the data presented in the tables and graphic material in the text of the article. Numerical results should be rounded in accordance with established rules, taking into account the mean research error, confidence interval or distribution of values. Research Results must be sufficiently substantiated, methodologically correct, have novelty and practical value.

The Discussion should be based on the interpretation of the research Results. In the Discussion section, it is important to compare your Results with the results of other scientists on chosen issue: what is common in the results obtained, what are the differences, who considered other aspects of the problem, etc. The most important scientific facts established are involved in the consideration, taking into account the previous data and analysis, in accordance with the literary sources on the current state of the problem with references to the works of a similar direction of research conducted in other countries. When analysing publications on the topic, it is necessary to mention the authors’ names and summarise the content of their work.

Conclusions

Conclusions should fully and specifically reflect the results of research, correspond to the purpose and title of the study, word-by-word duplication from the abstract is unacceptable. It is important to indicate the prospects for further research on the selected topic.

Acknowledgements

The section is for expression of gratitude to individuals or organisations for all possible technical assistance, ideas, financial (material) aid, which made the research possible, etc.

If you have no acknowledgements, state “None”.

Funding

In this section, the author(s) should indicate all sources of financial support received for the study. In case of absence of financial support, please indicate: “None”.

Conflict of Interest

Authors should disclose any potential sources of conflict of interest. Any interest or relationship, financial or otherwise that might be perceived as influencing an author’s objectivity is considered a potential source of conflict of interest. These must be disclosed when directly relevant or directly related to the work that the authors describe in their manuscript. The existence of a conflict of interest does not preclude publication. If the authors have no conflict of interest to declare, they must also state this at submission and include a statement in the Conflict of Interest section. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to review this policy with all authors and collectively to disclose with the submission ALL pertinent commercial and other relationships. Discovery of the failure to adequately disclose a conflicts of interest at submission or during the review process may result in the rejection of a manuscript or other author sanctions.

If you have no conflict of interest, state “None”.

References

References in the text to sources should be indicated in parentheses “()”, еxample: (Ivanov, 2023). If you need to indicate a reference within a line, you should indicate the year in “()”, for example: “M. Ivanov (2023) proposes...”. In this case, the names and years of sources in the text should clearly coincide with the data in the References.

It is not allowed to mention more than 3 sources in one citation.

No more than two works by the same author may be cited in the list of references. Also, no more than two articles from the same journal/collection of articles, etc. may be included.

The list of references should be in English only, references arranged in alphabetical order, and formatted according to APA 6^th Referencing Style (2010).
