- Practical significance (including the scope of the results)
The purpose and the name of the Article should correspond.
The purpose of the work should be formulated as intended result (relationship establishment, device, material, etc.) rather than as the process (research, analysis, etc.).
The results should correspond to the purpose.
The Article and the Abstract are individual documents relating to one and the same work, so the formulations of the purpose in the Article (in Introduction) and in the Abstract should correspond, and the formulations of the main results, including the scientific novelty and practical significance, in the Article (in Conclusion) and in the Abstract should not significantly differ.
The purpose can be divided into several problems, that are also indicated in the introduction and are solved step by step in the main part of the Article.
Shortcuts and abbreviations in the Abstract are unacceptable.
