 English-language paper block preparation

   We draw the attention of our authors that, in connection with the planned preparation of the journal for inclusion in the international databases, the bibliographic description and scientific citation of Web of Science and Scopus since 2014, the rules for processing the manuscripts submitted have been substantially changed. The main goal of the changes is to make the main provisions and conclusions of the papers published in the journal accessible to a broad overseas audience who does not speak Russian. Of particular importance now are the English abstract to the papers and the list of references used by the author, because it, and not the text of the paper itself, are reflected in the Scopus and Web of Science systems. In its content and informative Abstract and References should draw the attention of foreign readers to the topic of the paper. As a consequence, it is in the author's interest to be scrupulous about the preparation of these paper blocks and ensure their highest quality.
   The English-language part of the paper is prepared on the next page, immediately after the Russian-language list of literature and includes:
• Title, translated from the Russian language. In translation of the title of the papers into English there should not be any transliteration from the Russian language, except untranslated proper names and other objects having its own names; untranslatable slang, known only to Russian-speaking specialists, is also not used. This also touches on the author's annotations and keywords;
• Affiliation.
For each author the following information is indicated: Family name and first letter of the Name and Patronymic, degree, rank, position, e-mail, address data [the organization official name in English, which the author represents, the full postal address of the organization (including the street name, city, postal code, country)]. To indicate the degree, rank, position, the following reference materials should be used;
• Abstract – should contain more words than abstract in Russian and includes at least 250 words, it is recommended to follow the chronology of the paper, use the English-language special terminology, not include non-essential details and use an active rather than passive voice, avoid complex grammatical constructions (not applicable in scientific English);
• Keywords;
• References. References to sources in the English-speaking list should coincide with the references presented in the Russian-language list of used literature.
A list of all the literature used in the paper is given in Latin (sources in English, French, German, and other languages - in the original, Russian sources need to be translated (the rules of translation see below)). For automatic transliteration into the Latin script it is recommended to contact http://translit.ru (transliteration standard - BSI, pre-transliteration setting).
Information on the sources of funding for the study (grants, if necessary).
Attention! Authors are not allowed to provide translations of papers headings, abstracts, keywords and information on the sources of funding prepared with the help of electronic translation systems (errors and incorrect translation will be rejected).

 Rules for preparation a list of literature in the English-language block*

*Based on the works of O. V. Kirillova:
1. Editorial preparation of scientific journals for inclusion in foreign citation indexes: methodological recommendations. M., 2012, 68 p.;
2. Editorial preparation of scientific journals on international standards. Recommendations of the expert DB Scopus. M., 2013. Part 1. 90 p.
 
 
Lists of literature in Russian journals include a wide variety of Russian-language sources: journals, conference proceedings, collections, monographs, patents, dissertations, reports, laws, regulations, etc. Therefore, there are constant questions about how to prepare descriptions for these publications for References.
To prepare a description of these types of documents, it is necessary to take into account the fact that these publications are not available in the system and are not intended to establish the correspondence between publications and references to it. However, it should also be necessarily represented in the Roman alphabet. Therefore, its descriptions can be made rather short. The exception is translated books, mostly monographs.
If one prepares links in References with an understanding of the purpose of its presentation in the system, then there are a number of rules, obey which one can get the maximum number of publication-related links in the journal. Such rules include:
1) a description of a translated version of a journal, which is likely to be or has already been submitted to Scopus should be presented in References instead of its Russian-language ones;
2) since it is known that the descriptions of citations included in foreign citation indexes and other publications databases are given by its English block, in the most ideal case, in References it is possible to include the translated title of the paper in the form indicated in the journal (and then in database). In this case, the transliteration of the paper title is not required, but the language of publication (in Russian) is indicated in round brackets after its description;
3) a description of an original version of the book (monograph) should be presented in References instead of its translated publication because citation indexes increasingly include books in its resources, including Scopus. A translated version can also be described as additional information (in round brackets). See the example below;
4) it is prohibited to present only transliterated (without translation) description in References, since it makes such description completely unreadable. Therefore, if it is necessary to shorten the description, it is better to give its translation description with the indication in round brackets (in Russian). This refers more to anonymous works: legislative, normative documents, as well as to patents, dissertations, reports and other documents not typical for citation indexes;
5) in the description of publications without authors (collected papers, multi-authored monograph) it is allowed to write one or two editors instead of authors;
6) for unpublished documents, it is possible to make the shortest name with an indication in brackets (unpublished), if it has authorship (to account for the author's references), or simply “Unpublished Source” or “Unpublished Report”, etc., if there is no authorship in the document;
7) since Russian-language sources are difficult to identify by foreign experts, it is recommended to italicize the original source name, as in most foreign standards;
8) if the described publication has doi, it should be indicated in the References, since this identifier is the most accurate source of information about the paper and a link with publication is made on it;
9) it is undesirable to make arbitrary abbreviations of source names in the references. This often leads to a loss of link, since the name may not be identified.
10) all major publishing imprint (in the descriptions of the journal: volume, number, pages; in the descriptions of the books: the place of publication – the city, the publishing house (except proper name of the publishing house, it is transliterated)) should be presented in English.
11) in the descriptions of Russian-language textbooks and teaching aids it is not necessary to indicate the type of publications. This information in the references is redundant.
12) the publications imprint in the references (papers, books) should indicate the number of pages of publication: the range of pages in the publication is indicated by “pp.” before the pages; the number of pages in the full edition (book) is indicated as “p.” after the number of pages;
13) the translation of the paper title or the source is taken in square brackets; round brackets are sometimes used, however, if square brackets are used for other purposes in the descriptions of publications, round brackets may have a different use, so using it may cause confusion in the descriptions;
14) one publication is described in the References once only, no matter how many times the source is mentioned in the text of the publication;
15) if the book in the References is described in its entirety, then the full volume of the publication should be indicated in the bib-bipisation, regardless of which pages of the publication were cited in the text; exceptions are cases where separate chapters are used from the book; In this variant, the description of the chapter is given in the list of references, with the indication of pages "from-to."
16) use the system of automatic translation of Cyrillic alphabet into the Roman alphabet; do not do transliteration manually. This will avoid transliteration errors.
For the transliteration of Russian words, it is advisable to use the site: http://translit.net/
One need to enter the Translit.net program, turn on the Russian language, select the variant of the BSI standard(British Standard Institute), insert the text of the link in Russian into the required field and click “to translit”.
The last two paragraphs of the “rules” refer to the process of writing bibopanies in general. Some examples of links to different types of publications are presented bellow.

The last description is not complete. It is not clear whether the book as a whole (monograph), published in the series of works of the institute, is described, or this paper (in the description without the title of the paper). In this case, there is no indication of the pages. If it is the monograph, then total amount of pages should be indicated (235 p.), If it is a paper – a range of pages or one page should be indicated (pp. 220-222). However, in any case, this link will be found when searching for authors publications.

If the original, by which the translation of the book was made, can be identified then it is useful to describe it as the main name, instead of the translation one. This variant of the description makes it possible to find the authors' publications in the real representation of their surnames, and the differences from the translated version (by all rules, when translating the description into the Latin alphabet, the names of the authors are transliterated, which significantly distorts its writing - the example above shows it well).
When it is not possible to reveal information about the original version of the book, or the translated version is, for example, a collection of several foreign publications, a translation edition should be used.

Historical references, if they do not constitute the main content of the document, a description of previously published works and well-known provisions in the author's abstract should not be given.
   In the text of the author's abstract the syntactic structures inherent in the language of scientific and technical documents should be used, complex grammatical constructions should be avoided. In the text of the author's abstract meaningful words from the text of the paper should be used. The text of the author's abstract should be laconic and clear, free of background information, superfluous opening words, general and insignificant formulations. The text should be coherent, disjointed statements should logically follow one another. Abbreviations and symbols are used in exceptional cases or its decoding and definitions should be given when first used in the author's abstract. The author's abstract does not refer to the publication number in the list of references to the paper.
   The volume of the text of the author's abstract is determined by the content of the publication (the amount of information, its scientific and/or practical value), but should be not less than 250 words, a larger volume is preferable).
 
Example of an author's abstract  in Russian:
   Значительная часть инновационных планов по внедрению изменений, содержащих в своей основе нововведения, либо не доходит до практической реализации, либо в действительности приносит гораздо меньше пользы, чем планировалось. Одна из причин этих тенденций кроется в отсутствии у руководителя реальных инструментов по планированию, оценке и контролю над инновациями. В статье предлагается механизм стратегического планирования компании, основанный на анализе как внутренних возможностей организации, так и внешних конкурентных сил, поиске путей использования внешних возможностей с учетом специфики компании. Стратегическое планирование опирается на свод правил и процедур, содержащих серию методов, использование которых позволяет руководителям компаний обеспечить быстрое реагирование на изменение внешней конъюнктуры. К таким методам относятся: стратегическое сегментирование; решение проблем в режиме реального времени; диагностика стратегической готовности к работе в условиях будущего; разработка общего плана управления; планирование предпринимательской позиции фирмы; стратегическое преобразование организации. Процесс стратегического планирования представлен в виде замкнутого цикла, состоящего из 9-ти последовательных этапов, каждый из которых представляет собой логическую последовательность мероприятий, обеспечивающих динамику развития системы. Результатом разработанной автором методики стратегического планирования является предложение перехода к «интерактивному стратегическому менеджменту», который в своей концептуальной основе ориентируется на творческий потенциал всего коллектива и изыскание путей его построения на основе оперативного преодоления ускоряющихся изменений, возрастающей организационной сложности и непредсказуемой изменяемости внешнего окружения.
This is the same author's abstract in English:
A considerable part of innovative plans concerning implementation of developments with underlying novelties either do not reach the implementing stage, or in fact yield less benefit than anticipated. One of the reasons of such failures is the fact that the manager lacks real tools for planning, evaluating and controlling innovations. The article brings forward the mechanism for a strategic planning of a company, based on the analysis of both inner company’s resources, and outer competitive strength, as well as on searching ways of using external opportunities with account taken of the company’s specific character. Strategic planning is based on a code of regulations and procedures containing a series of methods, the use of which makes it possible for company’s manager to ensure prompt measures of reaction to outer business environment changes. Such methods include: strategic segmentation; solving problems in real-time mode; diagnostics of strategic readiness to operate in the context of the future; working out a general plan of management; planning of the business position of the firm; strategic transformation of the company. Strategic planning process is presented as a closed cycle consisting of 9 successive stages, each of them represents a logical sequence of measures ensuring the dynamics of system development. The developed by the author strategic planning methods result in the recommendation to proceed to “interactive strategic management” which is conceptually based on the constructive potential of the collective body, on searching ways of its building on the basis of effective overcoming accelerating changes, increasing organizational complexity, and unpredictable changeability of the environment.
An example of a structured author's abstract from a foreign journal in Scopus database:
Purpose: Because of the large and continuous energetic requirements of brain function, neurometabolic dysfunction is a key pathophysiologic aspect of the epileptic brain. Additionally, neurometabolic dysfunction has many self-propagating features that are typical of epileptogenic processes, that is, where each occurrence makes the likelihood of further mitochondrial and energetic injury more probable. Thus abnormal neurometabolism may be not only a chronic accompaniment of the epileptic brain, but also a direct contributor to epileptogenesis.
Methods: We examine the evidence for neurometabolic dysfunction in epilepsy, integrating human studies of metabolic imaging, electrophysiology, microdialysis, as well as intracranial EEG and neuropathology.
Results: As an approach of noninvasive functional imaging, quantitative magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) measured abnormalities of mitochondrial and energetic dysfunction (via 1H or 31P spectroscopy) are related to several pathophysiologic indices of epileptic dysfunction. With patients undergoing hippocampal resection, intraoperative 13C-glucose turnover studies show a profound decrease in neurotransmitter (glutamate-glutamine) cycling relative to oxidation in the sclerotic hippocampus. Increased extracellular glutamate (which has long been associated with increased seizure likelihood) is significantly linked with declining energetics as measured by 31PMR, as well as with increased EEG measures of Teager energy, further arguing for a direct role of glutamate with hyperexcitability.
Discussion: Given the important contribution that metabolic performance makes toward excitability in brain, it is not surprising that numerous aspects of mitochondrial and energetic state link significantly with electrophysiologic and microdialysis measures in human epilepsy. This may be of particular relevance with the self-propagating nature of mitochondrial injury, but may also help define the conditions for which interventions may be developed. © 2008 International League Against Epilepsy.
Extracts from the recommendations of the authors of the Emerald publishing house journals
   The author's abstract is a brief summary of a larger volume of work of a scientific nature that is published in isolation from the main text and, therefore, in itself should be understandable without reference to the publication itself. It should state the essential facts of the work, and should not exaggerate or contain material that is not available in the body of the publication. The author's abstract serves as a reference tool (for the library, abstract service), allowing the reader to understand whether he/she should read or not read the full text.
   The author's abstract includes:
1. Purpose of the work in a concise form. Background (history of the matter) can be given only if it is context-related to the goal.
2. Summarizing the main facts of the work, it is necessary to remember the following points:
- follow the chronology of the paper and use its headings as a guide;
- do not include non-essential details;
- you write for a competent audience, so you can use the technical (special) terminology of your discipline, clearly stating your opinion and also having in mind that you write for an international audience;
- the text should be coherent with the use of the words “"Because", "addition", "for example", "the benefits of this study", "as a result" etc., or the disjointed statements should logically follow one another;
- it is necessary to use an active, rather than passive, voice; “The study tested”, but not “It was tested in this study” (a frequent mistake of the Russian annotations);
- the style of writing should be compact (dense), so the sentences are likely to be longer than usual.
