Article formatting requirements

REQUIREMENTS

FOR ARTICLE FORMATTING, PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL

We would like to draw your attention to the necessity of clear structuring of your work:

1. IRSTI (International Rubricator of Scientific and Technical Information) – placed at the top left corner of the first page.
2. Author information– after the IRSTI, in the center of the first page provide the initials and last names of all authors, place of work in italics; city and country in italics (in parentheses) (see Appendix 1).
3. UDC Classifier - placed after the author information.
4. Title – centered on the page. The title should be brief (no more than 10 words), but informative, reflecting the main result of the study. The title is to be in bold uppercase letters, font size 14. Abbreviations are not allowed in the title, except for commonly accepted ones.
5. Annotation – 8-10 sentences. It should reflect the topic of the article, its practical value, novelty, key points, and research conclusions.
6. Key words - up to 5-7.

 The title of the article, author information, annotation and key words must be given in three languages: Kazakh, Russian and English. The corresponding author is listed first and marked with the symbol 1.

7. The main text is published with double spacing and should include the following sections:

Introduction. The introduction must outline the research problem. Its practical significance should be highlighted. Furthermore, the article should elaborate on the stated relevance throughout the text.

Materials and methods of research. Describe the organization of the experiment, the methodologies used, and provide detailed information about the research subject. The types of research methods (most common) include: observation, survey, testing, experimentation, laboratory work, analysis, modeling, study, and synthesis.

A review of the literature on the topic. The literature review should include 8 sources that the author relied upon during their research. It is important to conduct a detailed analysis of these works, highlighting both similarities and differences in the authors' approaches, as well as critically evaluating their concepts. To enhance the quality of the research, it is recommended to include both domestic and international publications. Additionally, some of the sources should be in English, which will not only broaden the research context but also integrate international experiences and approaches within the relevant field.

Particular attention should be given to works published in high-ranking scientific journals indexed in international citation databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, SpringerLink, JSTOR, and others. Publications from these databases hold a strong scientific reputation and adhere to rigorous peer-review standards, making them a priority for use in academic research.

The results of the study. The purpose and objectives of the research. A description of the study. Emphasize your innovative reflections. Be sure to demonstrate the scientific novelty (justify findings that are significant for the development of global science). This is the most detailed part of the research.

Discussion of Results. Provide an interpretation of the data obtained. It is important to compare the results with previous studies, highlighting similarities and differences, and discuss their theoretical and practical significance. Do not forget to indicate the limitations of the research and suggest directions for further studies.

Funding Information (if applicable).

Conclusion. In the conclusions, summarize the article. The conclusions should not repeat the provisions of the article. An analytical summary of the results and discussion of the article should be given.

8. After the main text, the list of references is provided with two spaces. The journal Arts Academy uses the Chicago Manual of Style (author–date, 17th edition) for formatting bibliographic references.
9. A brief biography of the authors follows after the list of references (see Appendix 2).

The technical formatting of the article should comply with the following requirements:

• Font — Times New Roman, 14-point (main text), 12-point (annotations, footnotes, notes, captions for figures and tables).
• Footnotes — placed at the bottom of each page using the "footnote" function (Ctrl+Alt+F) in Microsoft Word. Endnotes should not be used.
• Line spacing — single.
• Margins — 2 cm on all sides.
• Paragraph indentation — 1.25 cm, without using spaces or tabs.
• Article length — 20,000–30,000 characters without spaces.
• File format — Microsoft Word (*.doc, *.docx, *.rtf).
• Quotation marks — typographic “”, inside quotations — regular “”.
• Dates are written in numbers: centuries in Roman numerals, years and decades in Arabic numerals.
• Ballet terms are written in French (e.g., Endedans, Tendue, Leve).

TRANSLITERATION (LAT.)

• The GOST 7.79-2000 system is used for transliteration of Cyrillic sources.
• Sources written in Cyrillic must be duplicated in References in transliterated form without translation.
• When transliterating the names and surnames of foreign authors, they should be written in their original spelling (e.g., E. Fischer-Lichte, P. Pavis, F. Nietzsche), rather than transliterated (E. Fisher-Likhte, P. Pavi, F. Nitsshe).
• References in articles written in Kazakh and Russian must be placed after the Bibliography List (Пайдаланылған әдебиеттер тізімі / Список использованных источников) and formatted entirely in Latin script.
• Sources in languages that use non-Latin scripts must be transliterated according to System A of the ISO 9-95 standard (ISO 9-95 standard link).
• Automatic transliteration is allowed (e.g., via Transliter). When using automatic transliteration for non-Slavic sources written in Cyrillic, special attention should be given to the correct transliteration of special characters.

Examples of transliteration and proper formatting of the References:

The authors are solely responsible for the accuracy and reliability of the information, citations, references and list of the sources used.

Articles that are not relevant to the issues of the scientific journal and to the above-mentioned requirements will not be considered by the editorial Board.

The article file should be named after the surname and initials of the first author (e.g., Жұматов А.И.doc, Жуматов А.И.doc, or Zhumatov A.I.doc). Articles are subject to general editing. Submitted articles are not returned to the authors.

Articles submitted to the journal undergo a double-blind review process, ensuring objectivity and confidentiality in the evaluation of the scientific materials. Reviewers, who are experts in the relevant field, are selected by the editorial board from among domestic and foreign specialists.

The editorial board independently determines the reviewers, eliminating the possibility of author influence on the review process. Reviews are not provided to authors, but the main conclusions and recommendations of the reviewers are shared with the authors in a summarized form for making necessary revisions or improving the quality of the work.

Authors are requested to submit all materials in a single document (one file) and strictly adhere to the Article formatting requirements.  

The article text should be submitted in either electronic or paper form via the website https://artsacademy.kz or to the following address: 010000, Astana, 43 Uly Dala Street, Kazakh National Academy of Choreography, office No.470.
