Scientific articles that correspond to the specialization of the conference and have scientific novelty are accepted for publication. It is not allowed to send to the organizing committee already published articles or articles sent for publication in other publications. As a general rule we would advise that an author does not submit more than two articles to a conference. This includes papers that they have co-authored. Our guidance on what constitutes authorship is available here: https://publishingsupport.iopscience.iop.org/questions/ethics-of-authorship/.
By submitting a paper an author and all co-authors are assumed to agree with the terms of the IOP Proceedings Licence.

• Article structure (according to IMRAD). The following sections should be highlighted:

1. Introduction (Introduction);
2. Materials and methods (Materials and Methods);
3. Results and discussion (Results and Discussion);
4. Conclusions (Conclusion);
5. Acknowledgments - an optional element.
The above sections are mandatory. Within these sections, subparagraphs can be highlighted and named at the discretion of the authors. The results presented in the article should be formulated in the form of scientific provisions that clearly define a significant contribution to science.

• The procedure for accepting materials for publication

Before sending an article for translation, you need to send the original material in Russian to the organizing committee. We strongly recommend that you do not translate the article before the end of the review procedure, since in most cases, after it, adjustments are made to the work.
Articles are processed in the following steps:
1. Article registration
2. Check for uniqueness (originality)
3. Peer review (within two weeks after submitting the article to the organizing committee of the EPFS2025 conference).
4. Translation of the article
5. Conclusion of an agreement for the registration fee
6. Sending confirmation of acceptance of the article for publication.
When the status of an article changes, a message is sent to the corresponding author. A positive result of the check for uniqueness (anti-plagiarism) is received by articles with originality of 70% or more. When reviewing, the compliance of the article with the requirements for publication and the subject of the conference, the relevance of the research are assessed. Articles are published only in English. The article should be written in a language understandable to a specialist in the relevant field. Compliance of the English translation with the requirements is carried out by native speakers and professional translators.
