Abstract: An abstract is a shortened version of the paper and should contain all information necessary for the reader to determine: (1) what the objectives of the study were; (2) how the study was done; (3) what results were obtained; (4) and the significance of the results. The abstract is important because many journal readers first read the abstract to determine if the entire article is worth reading (Avenir Next LT Pro, font size 11 pt, justified).
An abstract can be 100 words.
Keywords: keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword (3-10 words.).
Introduction (Avenir Next LT Pro, font size 11 pt, justified).
The introduction needs to relate to the problems or issues being recognised and eventually leading the research questions. The structuring of the introduction part may vary.
This section discusses the results and conclusions of previously published studies, to help explain why the current study is of scientific interest.
Research Aim and Research Questions (Avenir Next LT Pro, font size 11 pt, justified).
The purpose is formulated concisely, it should accurately express the main thing that the researcher is trying to do. The goal is specified and developed in the research objectives.
The introduction needs to relate to the problems or issues being recognised and eventually leading the research questions.
Research Results (Avenir Next LT Pro, font size 11 pt, justified).
Theoretical analysis should not be limited by references to authors who studied the raised issue. It should contain a brief summary of received data with the allocation of directions, trends, approaches to the problem. It is not allowed to list names of scientists! It is characterized by presenting a careful bibliographic review of at least 10 references. The description of empirical results should contain specific data confirming the statistical accuracy of obtained results. They can be presented in the form of tables, graphs, diagrams with further interpretation. Most of the sources should reflect the current state of scientific research (5 recent years). The theoretical framework will establish the theories on which the study is based. The literature review will establish the most relevant investigations of the object of study. The relevance, purpose, objectives and the novelty of the study are substantiated. References to literature must be submitted in round brackets, example: Wales (2022) mentioned…. One citation should not include more than 3 sources. Tables and figures should be numbered in order of appearance, have their positions clearly marked within square brackets (e.g., [Table 1], [Table 2], [Table 3], [Figure 1], [Figure 2]).
Table 1

Figures should be carefully explained in the text and cited in numerical order.
Figure 1
Worldview Dimensions of Culture
Source: author (s) own development
Conclusions
Text of the Conclusions (Avenir Next LT Pro, font size 11 pt, justified). Conclusions should fully and specifically reflect the research results, correspond to the purpose and title of the article, while verbatim duplication of the text in the abstract is unacceptable. It is important to indicate the prospects for further research on the selected topic.
