 The journal publishes only the new results of fundamental and applied scientific research on the subjects of the magazine, which had not been previously published in other scientific publications in Ukraine or abroad. 

The editorial board of the journal accepts overview and original research papers on the following topics:

–     electronics, radio engineering and telecommunications

–     power engineering and energy generating technologies

–     information technologies, system analysis and control

–     science of materials and mechanical engineering

–     instrument-making and information-measuring equipment

–     energy saving problems

–     problems of chemical technology

According to the Resolution № 7-05/1 of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated 15.01.2003 articles having exactly the following necessary structural elements may be accepted.

1. Introduction:

a) problem statement in general and its relation to important scientific or practical problems;

b) brief summarizing analysis of the last achievements and publications underlying current research and ones on which the current research was initiated;

c) specification of the yet unsolved parts of the general problem that are covered in the present article.

2. Problem Statement: short statement of the article goals.

3. Presentation of the main research results with a complete explanation of the obtained scientific results. This part could be split into subparts with the appropriate names.

It is recommended in this section the following items to be presented:

a) solid review of the known solutions of the stated problem (if it is necessary);

b) relevance of the stated problem;

c) selection of methods, approaches, models, and instruments in order to solve the stated problem;

d) solution of the problem;

e) adequacy of the theoretical solution and advantages of the practical solutions compared to the existing solutions;

f) application examples of the obtained results.

4. Conclusions:

a) a brief description of the existing solutions of the research problems of the subject area and the specific scientific results established in the course of such research;

b) what new solutions for the research problems of the subject area are proposed, features which they differ from those already existing and which have advantages over the existing ones. Scope of application of the proposed new solutions of the research problems of the subject area;

c) what are the new problems that can be solved by new research. Ways to improve the already existing solutions of the research problems of the subject area. The practical implementation of the proposed new solutions of the research problems of the subject area and/or improvement of the existing ones;

d) the prospects for further subject area research and its practical implementation.

5. References. 

The editorial board would like to point out that the article title has to express nature of the research in a short and accurate manner.

The article together with the abstract is submitted by author in hard copy and in electronic form (font “Times New Roman Cyr”, font size – 14, single line spacing).

The abstract (1800–2500 symbols) has to contain the following information with titles: background, objective, methods, results, conclusions. Each abstract should contain keywords.

The article shouldn’t exceed 15 pages for original research issue, and 22 pages for overview issue.

The manuscript is submitted together with:

– Certificate of examination (for the authors from Ukraine), sealed with a stamp, with conclusion about the possibility of open publication of the article

– extract from the protocol of the faculty council meeting or the correspondent autonomous unit of the Igor Sikorsky KPI (articles of the authors that don’t work in the university are sent for a review to the corresponding departments by the journal editorial board)

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

INFORMATION ABOUT THE AUTHORS

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/

It is recommended to form authors’ teams involving Scopus-cited scientists.
