The list of used sources in Kazakh or Russian (depending on the language of the article) is followed by References, i.e. a combination of transliterated (https://translate.google.com/) and English-language parts of the used literature, which is arranged in accordance with the APA style (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association): (https://apastyle.apa.org/products/publication-manual-7th-edition), (https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines).

This is followed by information about each of the authors (academic title, institutional address, ORCID, e-mail – in Kazakh, Russian, and English languages).

Roles: Conceptualization; Data Curation; Formal Analysis; Funding Acquisition; Investigation; Methodology; Project Administration; Resources; Software; Supervision; Validation; Visualization; Roles/Writing – Original Draft; and Writing – Review & Editing.
Note that not all roles may apply to every manuscript, and authors may have contributed with multiple roles.
A description of the contributions of co-authors is provided at the end of the article under the heading “Authors` contributions” after “Information about authors”.
- Manuscripts submitted to the editorial office must undergo mandatory Antiplagiat.com (https://antiplagiat.com/) checks, and the originality percentage of the article should be at least 70%. Subsequently, the articles are sent for anonymous double-blind peer review, with a review period of 2-6 months. All reviews of the article are sent to the author. Articles receiving negative reviews are not reconsidered. Revised versions of the articles and the author`s response to the reviewer are sent to the editorial office within the deadlines specified by the editorial board. Articles with positive reviews are submitted to the journal`s editorial board for discussion.
