Guidelines

The journal is a periodical that accepts submissions from researchers in the multidisciplinary field of education or in other related interdisciplinary fields.

Manuscripts submitted to our journals must not have been submitted simultaneously, be under review elsewhere, or have been previously published in another journal. The following categories of previously published manuscripts benefit from special consideration and are published with a descriptive note in a footnote on the first page:

– papers presented at conferences, seminars, etc.;

– previously published papers that have been updated, improved or revised, and parts of theses may be submitted;

– papers that are parts or chapters of theses, dissertations, book chapters, etc.

Authors must ensure that the submitted manuscript, or any part of it, does not infringe existing copyright or the rights of third parties.

A. Accepted languages: manuscripts written in Uzbek, English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of the two), Russian and Tajik are accepted. A bilingual title is required. Bilingual abstracts and keywords are strongly recommended.

B. Content: a full research paper (depending on its type and purpose) should contain the following sections:

6. Literature review, materials and methods: the literature review section is devoted to the important literature sources that contributed to, were consulted for or were used in the research. It examines scientific articles, books and other sources (for example, dissertations and conference proceedings) relating to a specific issue, research area or theory, giving a description, summary and critical assessment of each work. The aim is to provide an overview of the significant literature published on the topic. The materials and methods section contains a detailed description of all methods, materials, partners and participants in the study. The protocols, techniques and procedures used to collect the data, the parameters studied, and the measurement methods and instruments must be described in enough detail to allow other scholars to understand, analyze and compare the results.

This section may include a separate subsection with explanations of the abbreviated terms used in the study.

Results and discussion: a comparative or descriptive analysis of the research based on the results, previously conducted studies, etc. The results should be presented in a logical sequence, first addressing the most important findings and the stated objectives. The number of tables and figures should be limited to those strictly necessary to support or challenge the basis of the research. The authors should deal only with new or significant aspects of the results obtained. Material in the results section should not be repeated and no new material should be introduced. The relevance of the findings in the context of the existing literature or modern practice should be considered. This section also contains theoretical and practical recommendations, ideas for further research, new approaches, and proposals and concerns regarding potential social and cultural impacts.

8. Conclusion: this final section briefly restates the main information. Only conclusions supported by the research results should be included.

9. Acknowledgments (optional): persons who contributed to the work in some way in preparing the manuscript but who do not meet the criteria for authorship should have their contributions noted in the acknowledgments section.
