Author Guidelines

The journal publishes original papers on current scientific developments and achievements. Paper should be submitted solely to the Editorial board of the International research journal “Information and Telecommunication Sciences”. Manuscripts submitted should be written in a clear-cut manner.

The paper title should be brief but informative enough to represent the essence of the research. Terminology and symbols should meet international standards and requirements. Other terms and special names and symbols should be clearly explained and defined. Authors should use the International System of Units (SI), rules and style conventions. The paper manuscript should be structured as follows: introduction, statement of objective, main part, conclusion, and references.

In the introduction, the problem within the framework of present-day research and applications is stated. Latest developments in the area of research, as well as unresolved issues, and the relevance of the problem under consideration are indicated.

In the main part of the paper, the solution of the problem is carried out. The relevant methods, approaches, models, and algorithms concerning the solution of considered problem are specified. The results of research undertaken are presented. Also, the feasibility of theoretical results and benefits of suggested solutions over the currently existing ones are stated. The relevant examples and recommendations for research outcome application are provided.

Conclusions should summarize the results obtained and suggest prospects for future research in the area.

Please, submit an electronic copy of the paper with figures formatted according to these guidelines by e-mail. The electronic copy of the paper should be in Microsoft Word (*. doc) version. Use A4 (210x297 mm) white paper. Apply the following margins: 15 mm (left), 30 mm (top and bottom), 15 mm (right). The paper should be single-spaced. Type your text in Times New Roman, font size 11 pt, full justification, no empty spaces on pages. Size of the paper including figures for reviews should not exceed 20 A4 pages, for regular papers 14 pages, for letters 4 pages. Please, attach to the manuscript: a scanned request for publishing the paper in the journal “Information and Telecommunication Sciences”, author(s) information (last name, first name, middle name, the scholarly degrees, affiliation, job position, postal and e-mail addresses, phone numbers) and figures originals as separate files.

Paper structure. Paper Title. Block paragraph, capital letters, font size 16 pt, bold-faced type, Times New Roman, center justification, single line spacing, no abbreviating or hyphenating. Empty line, 11 pt, single space.

Authors. Block paragraph, lower-case letters, font size 14 pt, Times New Roman, center justification, single line spacing. Empty line, 5 pt, single space.

Affiliation, city, country. Block paragraph, lower-case letters, font size 12 pt, Times New Roman, center justification, single line spacing. For several affiliations, use superscript characters^{1, 2} for respective authors. Empty line, 11 pt, single space.

Abstract. Block paragraph. Do not type the word “abstract”. The abstract should not exceed 15 lines. Use Word for Windows (Microsoft), font size 10 pt, Times New Roman, full justification. Empty line, 11 pt, single space.

The body of the paper should be in Microsoft Word for Windows version (*doc). Format your text as two columns, with an inter-column interval of 5 mm. Use 11 pt Times New Roman font size, regular line interval, full justification, automatic hyphenation, 5 mm paragraph indention, no empty spaces.

Illustrations to the paper are submitted as *.TIF files or *.JPG (black-white color, 400 dpi resolution, scale 1:1). High quality illustrations are required to ensure their readability. Figures size should not exceed the size of a column or a page. Units of measurement are separated from the text by a comma. The figures should be numbered (for example, Fig. 1). Figures with a, b, ... etc. parts should be of the same height and horizontally aligned. Each figure should be captioned below with a relevant figure number.

Captions should be in 10 pt Times New Roman font size, one interval (5 pt) below the figure, single spaced. A short caption (one line) is center justified to figure center. Longer ones (exceeding one line) are formatted as block paragraph, with full justification. The figures, as well as caption, are separated from the text with empty lines (5 pt): one on top and one below.

Tables should also be numbered, e.g. Table 1, Table 2, etc. The table title should start with a capital letter. Use 10 pt Times New Roman font size. Short captions should be center justified (one line). Longer captions (more than one line) should be block paragraph, with full justification. Use single space. The information in tables should not overlap with data presented in figures.

Formulas are typed with the help of MathType software. The length of a typed formula should not exceed 80 mm. In the text, as well as in tables, Greek letters should be in upright letter font, Roman letters in italics. Exceptions are upright letter font for operator symbols, e.g. grad, div, rot, p-Laplace operator, real part of a complex number Re, imaginary part of a complex number Im, bases of the natural logarithms e and standard functions, e.g. max, min, cos, arctan, exp, ln, log, sign etc. Vectors are typed in bold-faced font. In decimal fractions, the integer part is separated by a point. A formula should be center justified (block paragraph). Continuous numbering should be employed. Only formulas with references in the text should be used. Formulas numbers (in parentheses, font size 11 pt) are justified right of a column or page at one level with the formula. A semicolon should be used between the formulas running one after another. Very complex formulas should be divided in smaller parts not exceeding 80 mm, coming on next lines. Formulas should be divided at “=”, “+”, “–”, or “x” symbols. The formula coming on the next line should start with a relevant symbol by which it was separated. Each part of the compound formula should be taped in the formulas editor separately and should be center justified (block paragraph). Explaining symbols and numerical coefficients should come right under the formula, following a formula sequence. The first row of explanations starts with a word “where” (block paragraph). Any subsequent explanation is separated from a previous one with a semicolon and comes right after it. Formulas are separated from the text with a single space line (5 pt), one above and one below.

Titles of paper sections are typed in bold-faced Times New Roman, font size 12 pt, center justified (block paragraph). Titles of paper sections are separated from the text with a single space line (5 pt).

References should list sources on recent developments in a research area. It is also recommended for authors to use for literature references sources, registered in the international database of scientific and telemetry systems (SCOPUS). Number citations must be consecutively in square brackets [1]. Dissertations, unpublished papers, minor local publications are not included. The reference list starts with a key word “References” typed in bold-faced lower-case 12 pt Times New Roman font size, center justified (block paragraph). The word “References” is separated from the text with a single space line (5 pt), one on top and one below. The papers, monographs, books titles are fully presented. Please, provide the paper title, the periodical title, the publication year, the volume, pages details for a paper; the title, the year of publication, publishing house details, and number of pages for a book.
