Author Guidelines

Requirements for the design of articles

Manuscripts of articles submitted to university scientific and technical journals must be relevant, understandable, complete, performed at a high scientific and technical level and correspond to the oil and gas profile, contain scientific and practical novelty, arouse interest among readers of the scientific community.

Recommendations for writing an article:

The article does not contain elements of plagiarism (including reprinting the article or its parts, submission to several journals at the same time, use of texts and illustrations without the permission of their copyright holder) and autoplagiarism.

The article does not contain spelling and grammatical errors. The article is written correctly.

The article is complete, not fragmentary, logical, not of an "archival" or "statistical" nature.

The article is aimed at solving specific goals and objectives of oil and gas issues.

The article highlights important regional studies that cannot be conducted in another area and reflect specific geographical, climatic, socio-economic problems.

The article is able to supplement and expand both the Scopus and Web of Science databases, as well as make a new contribution to the oil and gas industry of science, form new discussion topics, and open new prospects for cooperation in the scientific field.

Authors are strongly advised to check the final versions of the article for errors before returning the corrected manuscript to the editorial office, since late corrections are not guaranteed to be taken into account.
The author is responsible for the content of the article and the correctness of the presented material.

To submit an article to the journal on the website, you must:

- register as an author;

- fill out the article template;

- download the text of the article in .doc or .docx format.

The article should be structured according to the following points:

1.The title of the article reflects its content and attracts the attention of the scientific audience, including the international one. Contains no more than 12 words.

2.The abstract (Ukrainian and English) is set out in one paragraph (not divided into subsections), is clear, contains a brief description of the research conducted, reveals the main results of the work; the purpose of the article is formulated correctly.

The volume of the abstract (in each language separately) together with keywords - no less than 1800 characters.

3.Keywords should specify information about the research, but not generalize it. Consist of 3-6 phrases, separated by a semicolon, are not repeated in the title of the article, correspond to the content of the work and are given at the end of the abstract in the appropriate language.

4.The introduction allows you to assess the current state of the problem at the global level (contains no less than 10 references to periodical scientific publications published over the past 5-10 years). The introduction ends with the formulation of the purpose of the work - “to discover…”, “to characterize…”, “to find out…”. The text of the introduction does not contain square brackets with more than 3 sources.

5.Analysis of modern foreign and domestic research and publications, in which the solution of this problem is initiated and to which the author refers.

6.Coverage of previously unresolved parts of the general problem to which the article is devoted.

7.Formulation of the objectives of the article (statement of the problem and methods of the research under consideration).

8.Coverage of the main material of the study with a full justification of the scientific results obtained. The section allows us to see that all possible sources of errors are excluded in the studies, the author has information about all factors that affect the result and avoids them as much as possible.

The number of experiments should be sufficient, the sample size should correspond to similar studies published in international scientific publications. Research data are processed using correct statistical methods (preference should be given to the most modern multivariate ones). The analysis of the results contains sufficient statistical justification and complies with generally accepted standards of the oil and gas industry.

9.The conclusions from this study (scientific novelty, theoretical and practical significance) should be:

- laconic, specific, correspond to the purpose and title of the article;

- not be duplicated verbatim in all language versions of the annotations;

- not begin with “another phrase” (e.g., “As a result of the research, the - following were obtained….”);

- contain generalized information, there is no paraphrasing of any sections of the article;

- the arguments are logical and structured, the data of the article confirm and substantiate the conclusions;

- highlight the prospects for further work in this direction;

- reflect how the results correlate with expectations and earlier studies; - indicate whether the article confirms or refutes existing theories and how the study influenced the process of enriching scientific knowledge.

10.References should be drawn up in accordance with the rules for authors based on DSTU 8302:2015 "Bibliographic reference. General provisions and rules of compilation". The literary sources used by the author, which are referenced in the text, are given at the end of the article in a general list in the order of mention. Only sources that are referenced in the article should be included in it. In the text, the serial number (according to the list) of the literary source to which reference is made is given in square brackets, for example, [4]. For each source in the list of references, it is necessary to indicate: DOI (active link: https://doi.org/10. ...) or a link to a web page (http://…). Form for searching for DOI on the Crossref website: Crossref system or Link References, or simpleTextQuery.

11.It is necessary to submit a transliteration of the References.
