  Abstract
  The abstract should not exceed 200 words and must briefly present the overall content of the article. It should cover the research problem, its relevance, the methodology used, the main results, and a short description of the author’s scientific and practical contribution. The abstract must be provided in Uzbek, Russian, and English.
  
  Keywords
  Keywords should concisely reflect the content and purpose of the article. To improve discoverability in search engines (e.g., scholar.google.com, google.com), each keyword is recommended to appear in the main text approximately 5–10 times. Keywords must be provided in Uzbek, Russian, and English.
• Introduction
  The introduction section primarily highlights the research problem, its objectives, and tasks. This part explains the rationale for choosing the research topic, its relevance, and scientific significance. In addition, the introduction provides a brief description of the research object. It also briefly outlines the content of the subsequent sections.
• Literature Review
  The literature review section demonstrates the author’s knowledge and understanding of the problem under study. It serves to assess the existing intellectual landscape and create a conceptual map of the field. Critical analysis of the literature helps to strengthen knowledge within the research topic and clarify the research questions.
  The analysis of the literature is generally carried out on the basis of the most recent journal articles and other sources of information in the field (relevant articles can be found using keywords in the search engine www.scholar.google.com).
• Research Methodology
  The research methodology is one of the most important parts of the study, as it represents the overall map of the research, the path of inquiry, and the roadmap leading to the results. Methodology includes defining the research philosophy and approach (deductive or inductive), designing the research plan to solve the research problem, identifying ways of obtaining the necessary data, and setting ethical standards. It also involves decisions on sampling, the use of primary or secondary data sources, and the selection of the research strategy (observation, experiment, case study, survey, ethnographic or archival research, etc.).
  The quality of the methodology section is reflected in its ability to justify the reliability and validity of the chosen research path.
• Analysis and Results
  The analysis section of the research processes the data collected using the analytical methods predetermined in the research methodology (mathematical models and others). Only the results of the applied methods are presented here; the discussion of these results is the task of the following section of the article.
• Discussion
  The discussion section involves interpreting the results of the analysis by comparing them with the findings and conclusions of the literature review, as well as adding personal reflections. In short, this part explains and interprets the research results.
• Conclusion and Recommendations
  The conclusion and recommendations section summarizes whether the research objectives and tasks have been achieved and whether the research questions have been answered. It highlights the main findings of the study, provides general conclusions about the overall research process, and presents proposals and recommendations. In addition, it may suggest possible directions for future research arising from the present study.
• References
  This part lists all the sources used in the research. All references cited in the article should be presented here in alphabetical order, following the Harvard style requirements:
  - Author(s) full name, (year), Book Title, place of publication (e.g., Russia, Uzbekistan, etc.), publisher;
