INFORMATION FOR AUTORS AND ARTICLE FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS
All submitted manuscripts to the ICON BEST 2022 should contain original research not previously published and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should be sent by e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Manuscripts may come from any country but must be written in English. All submissions must be accompanied by abstracts of the authors' manuscripts on related subjects that are in press or under editorial review. Papers are subjects to the anonymous peer review at least by two independent referees in one of the following categories: Original scientific papers, Preliminary communications, Subject reviews and Technical papers. Papers without positive classification of the referees will be not accepted in ICON BEST 2022.
Text:
Manuscripts (text with all supplements) must be written in the English language (Latin letters) using Microsoft Word (*.doc or *.docx). The scope of submitted text should not exceed more than 15 pages, which are typed according to the below instructions.
Text should be written in neuter gender, concisely and in correct orthography. The author is responsible for language-edit. Emphasis should be on results, their interpretations and conclusions, and for already known data, experimental methods and apparatus, sources should be mentioned.
Font: text—Times New Roman, size 10; abstract—Times New Roman, size 8. Line spacing: single; Use A4 Format (297x210 mm). Page Setup: Margins: top 5 cm, bottom 5 cm, left 4.4 cm, right 4.2 cm, gutter 0 cm. Layout: header 4 cm, footer 4 cm.
Manuscript should be arranged in the following order of presentation:
Author’s name (the name and surname of all authors)—their titles, name and full addresses of their institutions, full postal address and e-mail address.
Title of the paper should be concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
All papers should start with the abstract—between 100 and 150 words. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, but be consistent, and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, "and", "of"). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
The article must be clearly defined and numbered sections and subsections (1., 2., 2.1., 2.1.1., 2.1.2., ...)—the abstract, conclusion and references are not included in section numbering. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
Formulae and equations in text should be given separate numbering: Eq. (1), Eq. (2), etc. Similarly for tables and figures: Table 1. ... ; Figure 1. ... , etc.
Referencing style:
The author should follow Chicago Style (author-date system) for referencing—Citation in text. Every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list—and vice versa. Unpublished results, encyclopedias and dictionaries are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text.
