FORMAT OF MANUSCRIPT

The journal accepts research (experimental and theoretical), review papers.

Prepare the manuscript text using a Word processing package (save in .doc format). Submission of PDF text files is not permitted.

We recommend using the following templates:

Example of article design

  1. Submission of a review manuscript to Mechanics and Advanced Technologies implies that the paper represents subject review has not published nowhere earlier and is not being considered for publication elsewhere, and if accepted for publication it will not be submitted and published in the same language without a consent of the Editor(s) and Publisher. As a manuscript is accepted for the publication, the Publisher automatically acquires exclusive rights for the copyrighted work.
  2. The abstract (1500–1800 symbols) has to contain the following information with titles: background, objective, methods, results, conclusions. Each abstract should contain keywords.
  3. English or Ukrainian are languages of the publications.
  4. Manuscript Preparation. A paper has to be prepared according to the Microsoft Word paper template and contain a title, an abstract (summarizing main findings and results), and 5–7 keywords (reflecting the content of the contribution). The paper has to be quite comprehensive (however not exceed 10000 words) and arranged as headings (sections), e.g., “Introduction”, “Experimental (Theoretical) Methods”, “Obtained Results”, “Discussion”, “Conclusion”, “References”. Complicated formulae, mathematical expressions or (de)notations are not recommended in the title, abstract, and keywords.
  5. Equations and formulae are typed in the MathType or Microsoft Equation. Vectors (in the text, tables and figures) are typed in bold (without vector heads — arrows over), and variables (except greek-symbol) — italic.
  6. Figures (with 300 dpi resolution and 12.7 cm maximal width in the journal format) and Tables should be embedded after the text and references, numbered with consecutive arabic numbers, and have descriptive captions at the bottom of the figure or top of the table (see Word or PDF paper template). All figures should be also submitted separately as attached files in EPS, TIF, JPG, PNG or other formats.
  7. Figures, table data, and formulae or equations adopted from other articles should obligatory contain corresponding references (in captions to figures or tables or before the formulae or equations in the text) in order to avoid infringement of the copyright and editorial ethics or plagiarism. The editorial board of the journal uses the Unicheck system to check the originality of the material presented in each manuscript. 
  8. References should be numbered sequentially [in square brackets] throughout the text. The full list should be collected and typed at the end of the paper in numerical order. Listed references should be complete in all details. All authors’ initials should precede their names. Examples of references preparation are presented below.
    References should be given according to IEEE Citation Reference. Note that each reference has to be followed by the Digital Object Identifier, DOI.
  9. The journal has no article submission, processing, or publication charges.
  10.  Authors prepare the manuscript strongly according to the above-mentioned rules and submit it via https://journal.mmi.kpi.ua/user
  11.  Along with a manuscript, authors must send

- signed (and scanned) Copyright Transfer Agreement (COPYRIGHT.pdf). The journal allows the author(s) to hold (retain) copyright (publishing rights) without restrictions. Published articles are open-accessed.

- information about the authors (last name, first name, ORCID (orcid.org/registr), academic degree, academic title, affiliation, position, phone number, and email).

ORCID for each author is an obligatory condition of publication in our journal. If you have no ORCID, you can register it here https://orcid.org/
