The period is not placed after the title of the article and section headings, table titles, dimensions (s – second, g – gram, min – minute, day – day, deg – degree).
The period is placed after footnotes (including tables), table notes, brief annotations, abbreviations (mon. – month, y. – year, mln. – million).
The abbreviation of variables is performed by using -th (for example, i-th).
Multiple word abbreviations are separated by spaces (for example, 760 mm Hg), except for the most common ones (for example, etc., i.e.). A space is placed between the number or paragraph sign and the number (for example, No. 1; § 5.65). The dimensions are separated from the number by a space (for example, 100 kPa, 77 K, 10.3 A), except for degrees, percent: 90°, 20° C, 50%. Quotation marks and parentheses are not separated by spaces from the enclosed words.
When listing, as well as in numerical intervals, the dimension is given only for the last number (18-20 J/mol), with the exception of angular degrees. Angular degree icons are never skipped: 5°-10°, not 5-10°. Degrees Celsius are indicated as 5°C, not 5°.
All units and dimensions must be given in the International System of Units (SI). Numbers less than 11 are written in words, and larger ones and smaller ones combined with them in one phrase are written in numbers. For numbers written with units, only numbers are always used. All numbers are written in numbers when used in a mathematical sense. The integer and fractional parts of numbers are separated by a dot. A decimal fraction less than one must always be preceded by zero (for example, 0.123). It is advisable not to start sentences with numbers.

Each position in the list should be preceded by a number with a parenthesis or with a period or a hyphen for an unordered list. If the elements of the list continue the sentence, then they are separated by a semicolon, a colon is placed before the list after the generalizing word, and each element is started with a small letter. If the elements of the list are separate sentences, then each of them begins with a capital letter and ends with a period.

If figures contain texts, then they should not be typed in italics or bold, and all texts should be in the same style.
Figures must be submitted in JPG format.
When zoomed in, the picture should retain the image, should not be displayed in pixels. Figures should be full-color, since the magazine is published in both print and electronic versions.
If the figure shows graphs, then the figure caption must contain all designations, including the coordinate axes. If a separate figure consists of fragments, then they should be designated by letters without brackets (a, b, c,…) and located on the same page, and references to them are given in the text with a lowercase letter next to the figure number without spaces and brackets; figure captions should contain explanations for each part. The size of the picture should not exceed the width of the page (17 cm) or the width of the column (8 cm).

If the table is broken into several pages, there is no need to repeat the header on a new page.
A table containing graphics (such as arrows in a flowchart) is probably best thought of as a figure, although sometimes figures can be embedded in a table. Tables typed as text (using a large number of spaces, tabs, not using cells) cannot be included in the text of the article.
