Up ↑ General guidelines for article submission Regardless of how the article was filed initially, once finalized, the Author(s) should provide the entire article revised as a file in Word document format. Text formatting should be very simple. In particular, we do not recommend that you use the text processor's options for aligning text or word hyphenation. However, if necessary, it is appropriate to apply the bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts, etc. The Authors should be aware that regardless of embedded images in the text or not, the source files of figures, tables, and text graphics can be requested separately and/or additionally. To avoid unnecessary errors, all Authors are strongly advised to use the 'spell-check' and 'grammar-check' functions of their word processor. All submissions must be accompanied by a covering letter detailing what you are submitting. Please indicate the Author to whom correspondence should be addressed (in the case of multiple Authors) and include the following:
Please indicate if this is a submission of the revised article. In such a case, you should specify the registration number of the manuscript. Before submitting a manuscript, you should carefully check the text of the article and all sent files. Please note that all Editorial decisions are considered final. Up ↑ The publication space in Digest Finance is limited. In this regard, the processing Editor may limit the length of a paper. A paper should not exceed 20 pages (including a recommended number of images (Eight). Use one-and-a-half-spaced typescript pages, minimum 3 cm (1-inch) margins, and 12 pt font size standard fonts. Preferred fonts: Times New Roman, Arial, Symbol, Courier. On the other hand, extremely short papers (less than 3,000 words) will not be processed. Please ensure that your manuscript is paginated. This will help both Editors and Reviewers to process it promptly. Up ↑
Up ↑ An abstract is required for all papers. The abstract should indicate the following sections:
The abstract should be 100 to 150 words long (not exceed 150 words). Unessential abbreviations (of own making, in particular), any formulas, and references to the Reference list should be avoided. Immediately following the abstract, provide a maximum of five keywords which appropriately represent the contents of the paper. Use the JEL Classification codes to classify the articles (Three codes maximum). See JEL Classification. Up ↑ Define abbreviations and acronyms when they first appear in the article text. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article. Acronyms and abbreviations are not allowed in the graphic materials of articles. See Article Formatting. Use generally accepted and established abbreviations of units, names, etc. For additional information, see List of Title Word Abbreviations. Use standard MS-Word tools (Bullets and/or Numbering) to make a point form. Collate Acknowledgments in a separate section at the end of the article
before the References and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those legal entities and/or
individuals who provided help during the study, work, research, etc. (e.g., sponsoring, grant providing, providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.). Up ↑ SI units should be used throughout the articles. Mathematical Expressions (formulae, equations, functions, etc.) Please submit mathematical expressions, as well as variables in text, in the Microsoft Equation Editor, as editable elements, not as images. Mathematical expressions should be numbered in matching parentheses on the right, if they are mentioned later in the text. There must be an explication (explanation) of all variables specified in the order they appear, under each particular math expression. If the mathematical expressions are shown in graphic elements, the explanations should be placed in a footnote to these graphic elements. Up ↑ Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article. Many word processors can build footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Otherwise, please indicate the position of footnotes in the text and list the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the References list. Footnotes should include brief notes to the text of the article and the sources that are not acceptable to the References list, such as:
Important! Dissertation abstracts and theses are included neither in the References list nor in page footnotes. Up ↑ Graphic elements included in the file of the article should precede the Acknowledgments, if any, and References. Tables shall be followed by Figures. All the graphic elements are to be mentioned in the text. All graphic elements (except geographical maps in high resolution) should be program-accessible for editing (i.e. they should open in the same software program they are created). All graphic elements should be in Bitmap (black and white) images mode. Do not use 3D-format and shading. Use only SI units. Use the preferred font Times New Roman (size 10 to 12 pt.) where possible. Up ↑ Insert Excel charts and graphs into text by using Insert→Insert Object→Microsoft Graph Chart (Microsoft Excel Chart).
Up ↑ Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. (A separate list of figure captions must be included in the main body of your paper, following the references.) A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used. Drawings (figures) are created as follows: Insert→Drawing→Figure→New Drawing Canvas. (MS-Word built-in tools). Use lettering, arrows, lines, and other elements. There should be no items ‘hanging thick in the air’, they must all be interconnected by arrows or lines. Example:
Up ↑ Please submit tables as editable text, not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s) at the end. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules. Tables are created as follows: Insert→Table. (MS-Word built-in tools). A table should have a top-heading and side-heading. Table data should be aligned top left. Please do not use thick or double table borders, avoid using vertical rules. Up ↑ • Titles, Captions, Notes, Annotations Specify each graphic element’s type and number (if there are several of them) over the element. Place the element’s title next below. Place any data source (they maybe a few), notes, legends to mathematical expressions below the graphic element body, for example:
Namings and types of graphic elements, notes and other details shall be in English. Important! Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article and vice versa. Up ↑ All references to other papers, books, etc., must be given at the end of the paper. They should be numbered in sequence starting at the beginning of the paper. The numbers (in brackets) should appear in the text at the appropriate places. As the reference sources, the following materials can be used:
The references should:
The references should not include:
The sources mentioned should be indicated as footnotes at the bottom of the page. See The relevant section ↑. The references are to be compiled in the same sequence they appear mentioned in the text of the paper, rather than alphabetically (use the Vancouver Citation Style). The Authors are responsible for the accuracy and credibility of all information, citations, and links to cited sources. All sources on the Reference list shall be cited or mentioned in the text. Such references shall be numbered as they are mentioned throughout the text. Up ↑ Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the Reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the Reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the Reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal (See Journal In-house Reference Style) and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication. Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text in the order they appear in it. If there are several references, they should be listed in square brackets, separated by commas or dashes. It is correct to refer to the actual Authors using their initials and surname. The reference number(s) must always be given. You can refer to multiple sources, but not all at once. Example:
Up ↑ Journal titles should be abbreviated in accordance with the List of Title Word Abbreviations. Digital identifiers (if any) to cited references, such as DOI, PMID, and other should be indicated in the references. Up ↑ SubmissionAfter AcceptanceDigital Object Identifier (DOI) is assigned to each published article starting from 2017. DOI is the standard of denoting electronic document details on the Internet. DOI gives a direct link to the documents. Even if the document (article) is hosted at a different address on the Internet, DOI will help locate it. This quality prevents articles from being lost in the world wide web, thus breaking any links (citation). That is the reason why major publishers advise to use DOI for precise citation of their materials. Furthermore, such links are compact. For example, DOI for an article looks as follows https://doi.org/10.24891/el.22.2.163 Up ↑ After the Journal issue is released, the corresponding Author will receive the final version of the article via e-mail. The article will be sent as a PDF-file, with the contents of the issue being attached.
