This section describes how the problem was investigated: detailed information without repeating previously published established procedures; identification of equipment (software) and description of materials are used, with the obligatory introduction of novelty when using materials and methods.

Scientific methodology should include:

- research question (-s);

The list of references is given in alphabetical order, with consecutive numbering.

References in the text to the corresponding source from the list of references are made in square brackets, for example: [1, p. 277]. The use of automatic paginated links is not allowed. The list of references should contain at least 20 sources, where most of them are foreign and for the last 3-5 years. The advantage will be the use of articles published in Scopus databases.

For example, (Saduova, 2001a: 15), (Saduova, 2001b, 22).
