Articles are accepted continuously throughout the year and are included in the press plan in the order of receipt of materials. The author submits the article in electronic form to the e-mail of the editorial office municipality-ui@ranepa.ru. Other options for submitting articles are not provided.
Requirements for the Article Structure
  • introduction (should be short enough and not contain unnecessary information. In this section, it is appropriate to indicate why the study was conducted, what is the background and context of the issue under study, what terms and abbreviations will be used in the article).
  • methods (what exactly was undertaken to collect information, how exactly they were analyzed and presented. Here, it is also necessary to list the methods that were used for the study. If a new method was created for the work, it must be described in detail);
  • results (presentation of new data that became available due to the study. The previous sections should describe the reasons and means that led the authors to certain results. The value of the article depends precisely on the content of this section. It also most often presents illustrative materials: tables, graphs and drawings, etc.);
  • discussion (the main goal of the section is to show why the results obtained are important and to convince the reader that the work carried out is valuable. Abstracts from the introduction and discussion should correspond to each other).
Requirements for Article Formatting
The volume of the article should be 20–40 thousand characters with spaces. The volume in this case refers to the text of the article itself—from introduction to discussion; other parts of the article (abstract, keywords, references, authors’ information, etc.) are not taken into account in this volume.

Figures (drawings, graphs, diagrams) must be made using graphic electronic editors. These materials must be consecutively numbered and accompanied by a Russian translation. The size of figures submitted should not exceed Letter Paper format. The page must be in portrait orientation.

Numerical data are drawn up in a table. Tables should not be bulky (no larger than Letter Paper format, portrait orientation). Abbreviations of words in tables are not allowed, with the exception of units of measurement.

In-text references are made in square brackets in the article, indicating the number of the reference according to the list at the end of the manuscript and the pages to which the author refers (for example: [9, p. 36], [18, p. 4]). The list of references must contain at least 15 items. No more than 10% of self-citation is allowed.

The list of references is formed at the end of the article as sources are mentioned in the text (not alphabetically and not according to the hierarchy of sources). Duplication of titles, as well as indication under one number of several titles of sources or literature used, is not allowed.

The references list may include the following types of sources:
  • articles in a peer-reviewed academic journal;
  • monographs;
  • articles in the proceedings of the scientific-practical conference.

Each of the references must be accompanied by the surname and initials of the author(s). Other sources (Internet sites, newspapers, legal documents, legal reference systems, articles without attribution) should be in the form of page footnotes or, as far as possible and legible, mentioned directly in the text.

A mandatory requirement is the presence of DOI or EDN codes in each Russian-language source. For English-language sources, only the DOI code is required. The EDN code can be found on the publication description page of the eLibrary. In the absence of these codes, the source should be indicated as a footnote.
Information in English and Russian
In addition to the text of the article, the author submits in English and Russian:

а) abstract. Should correspond to the structure of the article and include sections: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. The volume of the abstract should be from 2 to 2.5 thousand characters. Its text should not repeat the title and text of the article. The abstract is intended to serve as a source of information independent of the article.

b) keywords. Keywords express the main semantic content of the article, serve as a guide for the reader and are used to search for articles in electronic databases, therefore they should reflect the field of science in which the article is written, the topic, purpose and object of study.

Both single words and phrases in the singular and nominative case can be used as keywords. The recommended number of keywords is 6–9, the number of words within a key phrase is no more than three.

c) references list.

d) authors’information as the following:
Full name – academic degree or academic title (in full); place of work or study (postal address of the place of work or study) — position held; e-mail. IDs: ORCID (mandatory); SPIN-code in the RSCI, ScopusID, ResearcherID (Web of Science) (if available).

The responsibility for the accuracy of the specified information lies with the author of the article. Articles sent to the editor without fulfilling the requirements of these conditions of publication are not accepted.
