Procedure for Submitting Materials to the Editorial Office

The editorial board of the journal Electronic Modeling accepts for publication articles that correspond to the journal’s scope and scientific level and have not been previously published. In accordance with Part 2 of Article 22 of the Law of Ukraine “On Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as the State Language,” manuscripts may be submitted in Ukrainian or English.
Co-authorship with researchers from other institutions is encouraged.

Materials should be submitted to the editorial office via e-mail (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and must include:

For articles written in English, a Ukrainian translation must be provided, along with an abstract and keywords in Ukrainian. The length of the article (including references, tables, and figures) must not exceed 15 pages; review articles — 20 pages; short communications — 5 pages.
2. A separate file containing figures prepared in formats *.TIF, *.EPS, *.JPG, *.GIF, *.PNG, as well as photographs (resolution of at least 300 dpi; color images are allowed if necessary). Graphs and charts are permitted. Figures created in Microsoft Word are not accepted. If figures are created in software such as MathCad, MATLAB, AutoCAD, etc., they must be converted into *.EPS format or, exceptionally, *.TIF with a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
3. A copy of the first page signed by all authors.

Manuscript Formatting Requirements

The submitted manuscript must include:

1. A concise and informative title. Abbreviations in the title are not allowed.
2. An abstract in Ukrainian and English (800–1000 characters) clearly presenting the essence of the problem, methods, and main results. The abstract should be understandable and informative for the international scientific community. Since the English abstract may be the only accessible source for foreign readers, it may exceed the Ukrainian one (but should contain at least 1000 characters).
3. Keywords (no more than five), commonly used in the scientific community, in Ukrainian and English.
4. An introduction (literature review) that provides a general assessment of the problem, its relevance, and an analysis of recent publications. A sufficient number of relevant references increases the scientific value and citation rate of the article.
5. The main body with a clear problem statement, methodology, and justification of the obtained results.
6. Conclusions summarizing the theoretical and practical significance of the results without duplicating the abstract.

After the main text, the following information must be provided in English:

• authors’ names (transliterated if originally in Cyrillic);
• title of the article;
• abstract;
• keywords;
• list of references (References) formatted according to the Harvard style.

References originally written in Latin script should be provided without translation. Sources in Cyrillic must be transliterated or translated, with the original language indicated (e.g., in Ukrainian). Authors’ names should be transliterated according to international passport standards. If available, the DOI must be included in the reference.

Length and Formatting

The manuscript length, including references, tables, and figures, must not exceed:

• 15 pages for research articles;
• 20 pages for review articles;
• 5 pages for short communications.

The text should be prepared in Microsoft Word using Times New Roman, 11.5 pt, with 1.5 line spacing. File format: *.doc or *.docx.

First Page Structure

6. keywords (3–5 words, italic);
7. main text.

Formatting of Elements

The manuscript should use standard scientific terminology. Physical units must comply with the International System of Units (SI).

Mathematical formulas must be prepared as separate objects using MathType (not as images), centered, and numbered if referenced in the text. Equation numbers should be placed in parentheses on the right.

Tables and figures must be numbered in the order they are cited in the text. They should be clear, informative, and not duplicate information from the text. All graphical materials must be editable (vector format preferred). Photographs must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
