This is particularly important in graphics files preparation. Therefore, this template is very simple and determines the basic style of a paragraph. Remember:

no paragraph indentation needed
to prepare mathematical equations and formulas, use the MathType (equation editor – separate software or add-in for Microsoft Word toolbar)
all tables and figures must be numbered with Arabic numerals and provided with a title briefly describing their content
the International System of Units (the 2019 edition), the imperial system, the USA customary units apply; compound units must be express by negative exponent (not with a division sign!); all variables are written in Italics but numbers, physicochemical constants and symbols in Antiqua
all digital graphic materials must meet print quality requirements: in 1:1 scale minimum resolution 300 DPI for color images (CMYK mode)
all photographs should be send as native files (TIFF, PSD, RAW); do not save as PNG, GIF or JPG

The editorial office do not accept differently prepared materials and reserve the right to send them back for correction according to the guidelines. We recommend sending an additional PDF file with the original formatting of your text. This will help achieve the expected format of the article.

Reference formatting

In the Scientific Review Engineering and Environmental Sciences the APA 6th Edition style is used.

In-Text Citations in APA style

The first time you cite the source write, e.g.: Research by Young and Smith (2010) supports... or (Robbins, 2014). In the case of a work by more than one or two Authors (three to five), please list all the authors in the signal phrase or in parentheses the first time you cite the source. Use the word "and" between the authors' names within the text and use the ampersand in the parentheses, e.g.: (Young, Smith, Robbins, Scott, & Burton, 2015). In subsequent citations, only use the first author's last name followed by "et al." in the signal phrase or in parentheses, e.g.: (Young et al., 2015).
