1. Scope and article types

The manuscript must fall within the journal’s fields: pedagogical sciences (13.00.00), philological sciences (10.00.00) and economic sciences (08.00.00); see Aims & Scope. Manuscripts outside the scope are not reviewed.

The journal publishes original research articles, review articles and short communications. The work must be original, must not be published or under consideration elsewhere, and you must hold the rights to all material in it.

2. Length

A typical article has 3,000 to 7,000 words, not counting the abstract and references. Short communications are shorter. Every study should be reported clearly enough to be repeated; use the reporting standard that matches your method (for example the APA Journal Article Reporting Standards, or PRISMA for systematic reviews).

3. Preparing the file

• Format: one Word (.docx) file. Do not send PDF.
• Page and font: A4, margins 2.5 cm, Times New Roman 12 pt, line spacing 1.5, no columns, no headers or footers.
• Title: in CAPITAL LETTERS, concise, descriptive and accurate.
• Headings: clear heading levels with numbered main sections.
• Figures and tables: inside the Word file, numbered in order, each with an English caption (and a caption in the second language if the text is not in English). Figures must be at least 300 dpi. Do not put text in images; describe every figure in the text so that readers who cannot see it can follow.
• Supplementary material (data, questionnaires, code) may be uploaded as separate files.

4. Title page and authors

The title page contains: the article title; the full list of authors with full names in Latin letters; for each author the affiliation (institution, city, country) separated from academic degrees and titles; the ORCID iD of every author; and the e-mail of the corresponding author. The affiliation is the institution where the research was done.

All persons who meet the authorship criteria must be listed at the time of submission, and all authors must agree to the submission. See the Authorship Policy.

5. Abstract and keywords

Provide an abstract of 150 to 250 words, in one paragraph, structured as aim, methods, results, conclusion, without references or undefined abbreviations. Provide 4 to 7 specific keywords after the abstract. If the article is in Uzbek or Russian, give the title, abstract and keywords in English as well.

An optional plain-language summary (about 150 words, no jargon) may be added below the abstract to help non-specialist readers.

6. Structure of the article

Introduction → Literature review → Methods → Results → Discussion → Conclusion. Every article must have a clearly marked introduction and conclusion, even when it does not follow this exact scheme. The conclusion must not repeat the abstract.

7. Statements and Declarations

Place the following headings after the conclusion. If a heading does not apply, keep it and write “Not applicable”; the editors may ask you to explain.

• Author contributions, using the CRediT roles (conceptualization, methodology, investigation, formal analysis, writing – original draft, writing – review & editing, supervision, and others).
• Ethical considerations: studies with human participants or data must state that the ethics committee or institutional board approved the study (give its name and the approval number), or explain why approval was not required. See the Research Ethics Policy.
• Consent to participate and Consent for publication (written or verbal). See Consent for Publication & Identifying Information.
• Declaration of conflicting interests. If there is none: “The author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.”
• Funding: name of the funder and the grant number, or “None”.
• Data availability: where the data can be found, or why it cannot be shared. See the Research Data Policy.
• Use of AI tools: declare any use beyond language editing (tool, version, purpose). See the AI Use Policy.
• Acknowledgements: contributors who are not authors, and any writing or editing help from a third party.

8. References

• Use the APA 7th edition style for every reference and every in-text citation. Every citation must have a reference and every reference a citation, with identical spelling and year.
• Give the DOI of each source when it exists; otherwise the URL.
• Prefer recent, peer-reviewed sources (at least half from the last 5 to 10 years). Textbooks, dissertations and reference books should be few.
• Transliterate Uzbek and Russian sources into Latin letters, translate their titles into English and add the language of the source in brackets: (In Russ.), (In Uzb.).
• Do not cite the journal or any author unless it is scientifically justified; see the Citation Manipulation Policy. Cite preprints only when no peer-reviewed version exists.

9. Accessibility

Use real headings and tables, descriptive link text and clear figure descriptions; see the Accessibility guidelines.

10. Language

Write clearly and consistently. If you need help with English, use a professional language-editing service before you submit; any such help must be declared in the Acknowledgements.

11. How to submit

1. Register on the journal website once and open your account.
2. Choose the journal, accept the submission requirements and enter the metadata (title, abstract, keywords, authors with ORCID iD, funding).
3. Upload the manuscript file and any supplementary files, and add a short cover letter that states the preprint DOI, if any, and any previous related publication.
4. Submit, and follow the status in your account. You will be e-mailed when a decision is made.

Questions: info@reandpub.uz. Submissions must be made by the authors themselves; see Third-Party Submissions & Submission Limits.

12. After submission

The editorial office first checks the scope, structure, language and similarity (see Plagiarism Policy). Suitable manuscripts go to at least two independent reviewers; the editor decides on accept, minor revision, major revision or reject (Peer Review Policy). After acceptance the article is prepared, the author checks the final proof, and the article is published in the current monthly issue with a DOI. Authors agree to the Author Agreement & Licence.

13. Proofs and corrections

Before an issue is opened, the final PDF of each accepted article is prepared by the editorial office. Authors may request the proof from info@reandpub.uz and report errors in names, affiliations or text within the time the issue is still scheduled. After publication, substantive errors are corrected by a published correction notice, in line with the Publication Ethics & Malpractice policy; the author list cannot be changed without the agreement of all authors.
