Rules for submitting articles (continued)

Before you can insert Excel and Word diagrams into an article, you need to convert them into .jpg figures.

Formulas and equations referenced in the article should be printed on the red line. In formulas, spaces are placed between the signs.

Long formulas must be divided into several lines (taking into account the printing of text in two columns). Hyphenation in formulas is allowed to be made primarily on the signs of ratios, secondly on ellipsis, on signs of addition and subtraction, and lastly on the multiplication sign in the form of a diagonal cross. Hyphenation on the division sign is not allowed. The mathematical sign on which the formula breaks during hyphenation must be repeated at the beginning of the next line.

Formulas and equations are numbered in the order of sequence in the text of the article on the right side. References in the text to a formula or equation are indicated by a number in parentheses: (1), (2), (3).

In the journal, it is customary to use the separating (decimal) sign of the period. Mixed use of Russian and Latin symbols in one article should be avoided. All Greek and special characters are printed through the "Insert" and "Symbol" options.

It is desirable to divide the article into sections reflecting its content. The following standard headings of the article are allowed: "Initial data", "Research methods", "Research results", "Discussion of results", "Conclusions"; you can enter the section "Results and their discussion". Other rubrics necessary for the author are placed at the beginning of the corresponding paragraph. If the work was carried out with the support of any grant, technical support from a teacher or analyst, then this information is given at the end of the article with the "Acknowledgments" section.

At the end of the manuscript, a list of used and cited literature is required, drawn up in accordance with the rules of bibliographic description of literary sources under the heading "Literature" in alphabetical order: first Russian works, then foreign ones. Russian sources are translated into English and placed at the end of the list under the title "Translations into English" (References).

When referring to literature in the text of the work, the author's surname with initials (two authors or the first author in combination with "and others" if the number of authors is three or more) and the year of publication are given in parentheses, for example: "as reported by A.I. Petrov (2016)". If the author of the publication is not indicated in the text, then the reference should have the following form: "according to the data (Petrov, 2016) this is...". References to publications by the same author related to the same year are indicated by letter indexes: (Petrov, 2016a, 2016b, 2016c). When referring to the works of two or more authors, the surnames are indicated in annual-alphabetical order: (Belov et al., 2017; Sidorov, 2016; Hatton, 2014; Peyerl et al., 2018) (see examples in the articles of the last issue of the journal).

In the list of references, the works are not numbered, the initials of names and patronymics are not separated by a space. Each work should occupy a separate paragraph.

Example:

Fedonkin M.A. Two Chronicles of Life: Experience of Comparison (Paleobiology and Genomics on the Early Stages of the Evolution of the Biosphere) // Problems of Geology and Mineralogy. Syktyvkar : Geoprint, 2016. Pp. 331–350.

Markov A.V., Kulikov A.M. Origin of eukaryotes as a result of integration processes in the microbial community // Report at the Institute of Developmental Biology, January 29, 2009. Available at: http://evolbiol.ru/dok_ibr2009.htm. (accessed: 23.10.2023).

References to open reports of geological funds are allowed. An expert report and an official referral from the organization for publication of the article in the journal Geology and Environment on the letterhead of the organization (in electronic form in JPEG format) are required. References to unpublished materials of other authors and organizations are not allowed.

Manuscripts that do not comply with these rules are not considered by the editorial board of the journal.

3. The Editor-in-Chief and the Executive Secretary of the journal send the article for review to a recognized expert in the subject of the reviewed materials, Doctor or Candidate of Sciences, who has publications on the subject of the reviewed article within the last three years.
