Submission Preparation Checklist
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
- Language Editing
Електроніка та інформаційні технології/Electronics and information technologies is a bilingual journal. However, all experimental works should be submitted in English that will facilitate the spread of information with researchers from other countries in the region and beyond, and strengthen the research and academic collaboration. Submitted manuscripts should meet international English language standards to be considered for publication. It is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that their manuscripts are substantively edited and corrected. Please, improve the grammar, syntax, and flow of your manuscript prior to submission. The Journal editors will check readability of the submissions; they may suggest either editing by the authors/their editors prior to sending to the reviewers or reject outright based on poor readability. No substantive editing services will be offered by the Journal.
Editorial decisions on the scientific content of a manuscript are independent of whether it has received language editing or proofreading by any service. The following should be submitted on-line or sent to the address of the Editorial office (elit@lnu.edu.ua):
- Electronic version of the manuscript, doc; docx format (file name by the first author of the article in English, for example, Bolesta.doc)
- Illustration material – color (for the online version) and grayscale (for the printed version), separated files in one of the standard graphic formats (Bolesta1.svg, Bolesta2.eps, Bolesta3.png, or Bolesta4.tif).
- Author information in Ukrainian and English (auth_Bolesta.doc) required for correct indexing that includes: 1) the names of all authors, 2) e-mail of all authors indicating the corresponding author, 3) ORCID, 4) full names and postal addresses of the institutions where the work was conducted.
- When submitting an article, authors should propose the names of four independent reviewers for their work, as well as the names of reviewers (not more than two) with conflicts of interest. The editorial board appreciates these suggestions but reserves the right to select potential reviewers.

Research article. A research article should contain the results of original scientific research (in English only!). It should be as concise as possible and written in a style accessible to a wide scientific audience. The total length of the article should not exceed 20 pages. At the editor's discretion, additional illustrative material may be published online as appendices.
Review article. A review article should contain an in-depth, comprehensive review of a specific experimental, theoretical, or methodological scientific topic, thereby providing information on the current understanding of the scientific problem. The total length of the article should not exceed 30 pages.

Manuscript Structure
All manuscripts must contain the essential elements: Cover page with structured Abstract; Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgments and data on the financial support; References; Abstract (in Ukrainian for the English language articles and in English for the Ukrainian language articles); Artwork and Tables with Captions. If your article includes any Videos and/or other Supplementary material, this should be included in the initial submission for the peer review purposes. Please, divide the article into clearly defined sections. Please, ensure the text of the paper is double-spaced and has consecutive line numbering - this is an essential peer review requirement.Cover page:
UDC Index (Universal Decimal Classification);
Title;
Authors: surname and initials and e-mail of all authors;
The names and full postal addresses of the institutions where each author is affiliated;
E-mail of the corresponding authorAbstract of the article (in Ukrainian for the English language articles and in English for the Ukrainian language articles). Text of the Abstract for Research articles should include between 1.800 and 2.000 characters without intervals, structured into Background, Materials and Methods, Results, Conclusions. It should include a description of the fundamentally important results and be intelligible to the non-specialist readers in a specific field, therefore should avoid specialized terms and abbreviations.
Keywords. All article types require a minimum of five and a maximum of eight keywords.
Registration number and the Funding source (if none, state so).Title. The title should be concise, omitting terms that are implicit and, where possible, be a statement of the main result or conclusion presented in the manuscript. Abbreviations should be avoided within the title.
Witty or creative titles are welcome, but only if relevant and within measure. Consider if a title meant to be thought-provoking might be misinterpreted as offensive or alarming. In extreme cases, the editorial office may veto a title and propose an alternative.
Authors should avoid:- titles that are a mere question without the answer
- unambitious titles, for example starting with “Towards,” “A description of,” “A characterization of” or “Preliminary study on”
- vague titles, for example starting with “Role of”, “Link between”, or “Effect of” that do not specify the role, link, or effect
- including terms that are out of place, for example the taxonomic affiliation apart from species name.
For Errata, General Commentaries, and Editorials, the title of your manuscript should have the following format:
- “Errata: [Title of original article]”
General Comments:
“Comments: [Title of original article]”
“Response: Comments: [Title of original article]”Sections
The manuscript is organized by headings and subheadings. The section headings should be appropriate for your field and the research itself. For original research articles, it is recommended to organize your manuscript in the following sections or their equivalents for your field.Introduction
Succinct, with no subheadings. The Introduction should provide the background information needed to understand the presented study, and the reasons why experiments were conducted; what problem was studied. Citation of strongly related to research problem publications, no more than 10 years old, if possible, is recommended. At the end of the section, clear and exact aims of the study should be stated.Materials and Methods
This section may be divided by subheadings and should contain sufficient detail so that when read in conjunction with cited references, all procedures can be repeated.
Materials and Methods should describe all the details of how the study was conducted. Subheadings may be used to separate different methodologies. New methods should be described in sufficient detail so that other researchers can reproduce the experiment. Established methods should be presented briefly with a reference where readers can find more detail. All statistical tests and parameters should be stated. Manuscripts may also be sent to review statistics.Results and Discussion
In this section, as in the Materials and Methods section, use subheadings to separate the results of different experiments. Results should be presented in a logical order. Do not duplicate data among figures, tables, and text. The text should summarize what the reader will find in the table, or mention one or two of the most important data points. It is usually much easier to read data in a table than in the text. The results of statistical analyses should be included in the text, usually by providing P values for statistically significant differences.Conclusion
Acknowledgements and Funding Sources
All research articles should have a funding acknowledgement statement included in the manuscript. The funding agency should be written out in full, followed by the grant number in square brackets, see following example (the text in bold is mandatory, unless specified otherwise by the journal):
The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This work was supported by the Medical Research Council [grant number xxx].
Multiple grant numbers should be separated by comma and space. Where the research was supported by more than one agency, the different agencies should be separated by semi-colon, with “and” before the final funder. Thus:
This work was supported by the Trust [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Natural Environment Research Council [grant number zzzz]; and the Economic and Social Research Council [grant number aaaa].
In some cases, research is not funded by a specific project grant, but rather from the block grant and other resources available to a university, college or other research institution. Where no specific funding has been provided for the research we ask that corresponding authors use the following sentence:
The author(s) received no financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.
Important note: If you have any concerns that the provision of this information may compromise your anonymity dependent on the peer review policy of this journal outlined above, you can withhold this information until you submit your final accepted manuscript.Compliance with Ethical Standards
Conflict of Interest: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
