Therefore, strict requirements for unification and standardization apply to this section of scientific articles.
The journal uses an adapted version of Vancouver Citation Style, one of the styles recognized by international indexing databases.
References
The list of references includes sources used in the text.
References accepted for publication but not yet published articles must be labeled with the words “in press”; authors should obtain written permission to refer to these documents and evidence that they are accepted for publication. Information from unpublished sources must be marked with the words “unpublished data / documents,” the authors must also receive written confirmation of the use of such materials. The journal adopted the Vancouver style of reference design and citation.
