Requirements for the Main Body Sections

The main body of a scientific article must comply with the IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) structure, which is the generally accepted international standard for organizing scientific articles.

1. Introduction

  • 1.1. Research Relevance This subsection should explain why it is necessary to conduct scientific research on this topic under current conditions and what practical benefits the results can provide. The subsection should conclude with a summary of arguments supporting the relevance of the topic, for example: "Therefore, studies devoted to... are relevant."
  • 1.2. Literature Review and Problem Statement This subsection must identify the unresolved parts of the problem. It should be based on current scientific periodicals (6–12 articles in scientific journals from the last 5–10 years). Each source must be analyzed separately, answering what issues remain unresolved in that source and why. The subsection concludes by systematizing the identified local problems and formulating the unresolved problem, which should logically lead to the aim stated in the next subsection.
  • 1.3. Research Aim and Objectives The research objectives (from 2 to 5) must not duplicate the aim but should sequentially contribute to achieving it.

2. Materials and Methods

This section should contain a description of the object of study, the main research hypothesis, assumptions and simplifications adopted in the article, methods used, necessary equipment and software, mathematical models, statistical methods, etc. The choice of the selected experimental and theoretical research methods must be explicitly justified.

3. Results

This section should present the obtained results, tables, figures, and graphs. Ensure an objective presentation of the results without detailed interpretation. For each objective set in subsection 1.3, there must be a corresponding separate subsection within this section.

4. Discussion

This section should contain the interpretation and analysis of the obtained results; a comparison with the results of other studies; an explanation of the identified patterns; and an assessment of the advantages, limitations, and practical significance of the results. This section must highlight the practical component of the research: the scope of application, conditions for applying the results, and potentially expected effects from their use (even on a qualitative level). It should also specify how the obtained solutions address the problem defined in Section 1.2, how this is achieved, and how it can be explained. At the end of this section, authors should state the limitations of the conducted research, any shortcomings, and potential directions for the future development of this study.

5. Conclusions

This section must provide a conclusion for each objective addressed in Section 3. Each conclusion should include: specific features and distinctive characteristics of the result; the explanation for this result; and quantitative and/or comparative assessments of the result.
