Articles’ formatting rules

Paper’s formatting rules

1. The paper should be submitted in the electronic format via the journal’s site www.dynvibro.ru. File name is a surname of the first author, for example, Smith.doc.

Along with article you also attach:

• organization referral (if the authors are not employees of SSAU) on company’s letterhead, stamped and signed by its head or deputy on scientific work;

• the electronic copy and a paper original of the publication possibility expert report of the lead author's organization;

• specialist’s review about article’s scientific direction (the specialist should not be an employee of the author’s department);

• contact information: name, surname, patronymic (in full) of each author; Email address and telephone number (not published in the journal).

If the article has several authors, you should sent a first page scan the with the signatures of all authors.

2. The articles are submitted in English in Microsoft Word format (*.doc,*.docx) and should meet the following requirements.

In case all the authors work or study in one establishment there is no need to state each author’s place of work separately. The names of universities and organizations can be stated in abbreviated form (for example, without writing FSBEE HPE, etc.). The adopted transliteration system is given in Appendix 6.

The example of writing a postal address in English:

34, Moskovskoe shosse, Samara, 443086, Russian Federation.
