Captions to tables and illustrations are centered. Figures and photos (b&w, with grey gradations) are inserted in the basic text and are provided additionally in separate files in one of the following formats: TIFF, PCX, JPG, BMP, CDR.

Bibliography and References are designed in line with the APA style (American Psychological Association).

References. At the end of the article, there is a separate block of transliterated and translated English version of literary sources. After the transliterated name of the source, its English translation is additionally provided in square brackets. The publisher’s name (journal, collection, etc.) is presented in the same way. At the end, the source language is indicated in square brackets in Latin, e.g., [in Ukrainian]; [in Chinese]. DOI is mentioned if any. The references list fully duplicates the Ukrainian-language bibliography list regardless of whether it contains English-language sources.
