Editorial board of the journal "Bulletin of Cherkasy State Technological University" accepts for consideration and publishes the following types of articles:

• empirical article - an article based on the IMRAD structure, which presents the results of the study of primary sources of information: technical reports, computer codes and software, statistical and analytical data, conference papers, etc. Articles of this type should contain an original interpretation of the analysed data;
• theoretical article - an article whose structure depends on its content and in which, based on the analysis of scientific literature, new theoretical provisions are developed and put forward that contribute to the development of the computer science. Articles of this type may include: original theories, clarification, supplementation and criticism of existing theoretical constructs and concepts, comparison of different theories, criticism and development of methodological approaches in the field of computer science, telecommunications and radio communications;
• review article – a scientific work that systematises and analyses existing research in a particular scientific field in order to provide a comprehensive view of the current state of knowledge, identify unresolved issues and determine the prospects for further research. Review articles are important for updating the scientific community on achievements and trends in the computer science, telecommunications and radio communications, as well as for helping researchers to formulate their own research questions and hypotheses.

The table below shows the difference between these types of articles and makes it easier for authors to choose the category that suits them.

Structural elements of articles

The table below shows the volume of the article, the number of sources and graphics for each type of article.

Technical requirements

Tables, figures, graphs, equations.

• Tables, figures, graphs, and formulas should be numbered and placed after their mention in the text (notes are placed directly below the table/figure/graph). All abbreviations must be spelled out at the first mention in the text.
• Equations must be created in Equation Editor, variable mathematical values in the text according to the formulas are typed in italics.
• Figures and graphs should be centred, text wrapping around the figure is prohibited.
• All dimensions of physical quantities should be submitted in accordance with the International System of Units (SI). There is a space between units of measurement, symbols, and numbers to which they refer.

Article structure

The following information about the authors must be indicated:

• the first and the last names;
• academic degree and position of each author;
• structural units of the institution where the authors work;
• full official names and legal addresses of authors’ institutions;
• contact email addresses;
• ORCID.

Abstract
The section is presented in Ukrainian and English with identical content (200-300 words). The abstract should be informative (not contain general words), structured (relevance, purpose, list of methods used, main results, practical value) and meaningful. The abstract should not contain abbreviations, acronyms, footnotes, and references. Information should not duplicate other sections of the article.

Keywords
5-7 words or phrases related to the subject matter do not duplicate the title of the article and do not consist of common words.

Introduction
This section highlights the current state of the problem under consideration at the global level, justifies the relevance (no references or citations are used in relevance), tasks and issues of the study, and the scientific novelty of the work. The latest research and publications are analysed with references to relevant scientific publications (7-10 publications) for the last 3-5 years. The citation is written in the text of the sentence, initials and surname, followed by the year of publication of the study in parentheses. At the end of the introduction, state the purpose of the study, which should not repeat the purpose from the abstract. 

Literature review
This section is optional and should contain the results of research by scientists who have analysed certain aspects of the topic under study (for the last 3-5 years). Each researcher's name must be accompanied by a corresponding reference from the list of references.

Materials and methods
This section describes the process of conducting the research and justifies the choice of methods, techniques, approaches or actions aimed at obtaining new scientific results. The strategies and criteria for sampling (if the article contains an empirical part) are explained, and the experimental basis of the study is indicated. The methodology described should provide a complete picture of the research in such a way that it can be repeated by other scientists using the same materials and methods. The section "Materials and Methods" is mandatory in the structure of a scientific article.

Results
The section presents the main material of the study with full justification of the scientific results obtained. Tabular or graphical materials are necessarily accompanied by the results of statistical data processing. Sources are placed under tables and figures. Value judgments should be avoided, as well as the elements of the description of the methodology and direct repetition of the data presented in the tables and graphic material in the text of the article. Numerical results should be rounded in accordance with established rules, taking into account the mean research error, confidence interval or distribution of values. Research results must be sufficiently substantiated, methodologically correct, have novelty and practical value.

Discussion
The discussion should be based on the interpretation of the research results. The most important scientific facts established are involved in the consideration, taking into account the previous data and analysis, in accordance with the literary sources on the current state of the problem with references to the works of a similar direction of research (for the last 3-5 years) conducted in other countries. For example: 
The authors A. Abrams et al. (2023) in their work indicated that...

Conclusions
Conclusions should fully and specifically reflect the results of research, correspond to the purpose and title of the study, word-by-word duplication in the abstract is unacceptable. It is important to indicate the prospects for further research on the selected topic.

Acknowledgements

This section is mandatory and expresses gratitude to individuals or organisations for their technical assistance, ideas, and financial (material) support, which made the research possible. If there are no acknowledgements, indicate “None”.

Funding

In this section, the author(s) should indicate all sources of financial support received for the study. In case of absence of financial support, please indicate: "The study was not funded".

Conflict of Interest
All authors disclose any potential sources of conflict of interest. Any interest or relationship, financial or otherwise that might be perceived as influencing an author's objectivity is considered a potential source of conflict of interest. These must be disclosed when directly relevant or directly related to the work that the authors describe in their manuscript. The existence of a conflict of interest does not preclude publication. If the authors have no conflict of interest to declare, they must also state this at submission and include a statement in the Conflict of interest section. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to review this policy with all authors and collectively to disclose with the submission ALL pertinent commercial and other relationships. Discovery of the failure to adequately disclose a conflict of interest at submission or during the review process may result in the rejection of a manuscript or other author sanctions.
If there are no conflict of interest, state “None”.

References
References in the text to sources should be indicated in parentheses "()", еxample: (Smith, 2023). If you need to indicate a reference within a line, you should indicate the year in "()", for example: "T.E. Aitbaev (2021) proposes...".

In this case, the names and years of sources in the text should clearly coincide with the data in the list of references. It is not allowed to mention more than 3 sources in one citation.

No more than two works by the same author may be cited in the list of references. Also, no more than two articles from the same journal/collection of articles, etc. may be included.

The list of references should be in English (transliteration is not allowed), references arranged in alphabetical order, and formatted according to APA 6th Referencing Style (2010).
