The text of the article must be structured by sections:

Introduction

The section "Introduction" analyzes the state of the problem under study according to publications of domestic and foreign sources, on the basis of which the relevance of the study is justified, the purpose and objectives of the study are formulated. 

Research methods

The section describes the research methods used in the work, provides information about research objects, measuring equipment, describes experimental conditions, etc. It is possible to indicate references to works with a more detailed description of the methods, but the description given should be sufficient to understand the progress of the study.

When using standard (or known) methods and procedures, it is better to make references to relevant sources, without forgetting to describe modifications of standard methods, if any. If you use your own new method, the description of which has not been published anywhere before, it is important to provide all the necessary details. If the description of the method was previously published in a well-known journal, you can limit yourself to a link.

Another name of the section is also allowed, due to the specifics of the study
and articles prepared on its basis, for example, "Materials and methods of research", "Models and methods of research", "Theoretical foundations and methods of calculation".

Research results and their discussion

The section presents the results of the study in a logical sequence, which are confirmed by tables, graphs, figures. It also analyzes and interprets the results obtained, describes the revealed patterns, confirms the reliability of the results, compares its own results with the data of other researchers.

Conclusion

The section outlines the main conclusions, summarizes the work done, substantiates the scientific novelty of the results obtained, recommendations for their use, defines the main directions of further research in this area. The conclusion contains the main ideas of the main text of the article, but should not repeat the formulations given in the previous sections.

The list of references should contain at least 10 sources (of which at least 30% are foreign).

For REVIEW analytical articles, a different structure of the article is allowed:

However, manuscripts may be rejected without review if the editor believes that they do not correspond to the profile of the journal.

5. The editor and members of the editorial board should not provide other persons with any information related to the content of the manuscript under consideration, except for persons who participate in the professional evaluation of this manuscript. After a positive decision of the editor regarding the manuscript, the article is published in the journal and posted on the appropriate electronic resources.

6. It is allowed to distribute any articles from the journal or excerpts from them via electronic networks, but with such distribution, a link to the original source is mandatory. It is prohibited to publish and/or distribute the materials of the journal by third parties or organizations on paper and hard electronic media.

7. In accordance with international legislation regarding the observance of copyright on electronic information resources, the materials of the website, electronic magazine or project may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any form (electronic or printed) without the prior written consent of the authors and the editorial board of the journal. When using published materials in the context of other documents, a reference to the original source is necessary.

8. The editor must respect the intellectual independence of the authors.

9. The responsibility and rights of the editor of the journal in relation to any submitted manuscript, the author of which is the editor himself, must be delegated to some other qualified person.

10. Unpublished information, arguments or interpretations disclosed in the submitted manuscript may be used in the editor's own research only with the author's consent. If the manuscript is so closely related to the current or past research of the editor that a conflict of interest may arise, the editor should take measures to ensure that some other qualified person assumes editorial responsibility for this manuscript.

11. If the editor is presented with convincing evidence that the main content or conclusions of the work published in the journal are erroneous, the editor should facilitate the publication of an appropriate message indicating this error and, if possible, correcting it. This message can be written by the person who discovered this error, or by an independent author.

12. The author may request that the editor not use some reviewers when reviewing the manuscript. However, the editor may decide to use one or more of these reviewers if he feels that their opinions are important for an impartial review of the manuscript. Such a decision can be made, for example, in the case when there are serious contradictions between this manuscript and the previous work of a potential reviewer.

Ethical obligations of authors

1. The main responsibility of the author is to provide an accurate report on the conducted research, as well as an objective discussion of its significance.

2. The authors of the articles bear full responsibility for the content of the articles and for the fact of their publication. The editorial board of the journal does not bear any responsibility to the authors and/or third parties and organizations for possible damage caused by the publication of the article. The editorial board has the right to withdraw an already published article if it turns out that someone's rights or generally accepted norms of scientific ethics were violated during the publication of the article. The editorial board informs the author who submitted the article about the fact of withdrawal of the article.

3. The journal volume is a limited resource, therefore the author is obliged to use it wisely and economically.

4. The initial report on the results of the study should be sufficiently complete and contain the necessary links to available sources of information.

5. The author should cite those publications that have had a decisive influence on the essence of the presented work, as well as those that can quickly introduce the reader to earlier works that are essential for understanding this study. With the exception of reviews, it is necessary to minimize the citation of works that are not directly related to this message. The author is obliged to conduct a literary search in order to find and cite original publications that describe research closely related to his article.

6. When preparing a manuscript for publication, the author must inform the editor about the author's related manuscripts submitted to the press or accepted for publication. Copies of these manuscripts should be submitted to the editor, and their links to the manuscript submitted for publication should be indicated.

7. The author should not submit manuscripts describing essentially the same results to more than one journal in the form of an initial publication, unless this is a re-submission of a rejected journal or a manuscript withdrawn by the author. It is acceptable to submit a manuscript of a full article expanding on a previously published short preliminary report (message) on the same work. However, when submitting such a manuscript, the editor should be notified of an earlier message, and this preliminary message should be quoted in this manuscript.

8. The author must explicitly indicate the sources of all cited or submitted information, with the exception of well-known information. Information obtained privately, in the course of a conversation, during correspondence or during discussions with third parties, should not be used or reported in the author's work without the express permission of the researcher from whom this information was obtained. Information obtained during the provision of confidential services, such as reviewing manuscripts or projects submitted for grants, should be treated in the same way.

9. Experimental or theoretical research can sometimes serve as a basis for criticizing the work of another researcher. Published articles, where appropriate, may contain similar criticism. Personal criticism, however, cannot be considered appropriate under any circumstances.

10. Co-authors of the article should be all those persons who have made a significant scientific contribution to the presented work and who share responsibility for the results obtained. Other contributions should be noted in the notes or in the "Acknowledgements" section. Administrative relations with this research are not in themselves grounds for the qualification of the relevant person as a co-author (but in some cases it may be appropriate to note significant administrative assistance in the work). Deceased persons who meet the criteria formulated above should be included among the authors, and the date of their death should be indicated in the note. Fictitious names cannot be specified as an author or co-author. The author who submits the manuscript for publication is responsible for ensuring that all those and only those persons who meet the criterion of authorship are included in the list of co-authors. In an article written by several authors, one of the authors who submits contact information, documents to the editorial office, and conducts correspondence with the editors, assumes responsibility for the consent of the other authors of the article to its publication in the journal.

11. Authors should inform the editor of any potential conflict of interest, for example, consulting or financial interests of any company, which could be affected by the publication of the results contained in this manuscript. The authors must ensure that there are no contractual relations or proprietary considerations that could affect the publication of the information contained in the submitted manuscript.

Ethical obligations of reviewers

1. Since the review of manuscripts is an essential stage in the publication process and, thus, in the implementation of the scientific method as such, each scientist is obliged to perform a certain proportion of the work on reviewing.

2. If the selected reviewer is not sure that his qualifications correspond to the level of research presented in the manuscript, he must immediately return the manuscript.

3. The reviewer must objectively assess the quality of the manuscript, the experimental and theoretical work presented, its interpretation and presentation, and also take into account to what extent the work meets high scientific and literary standards. The reviewer must respect the intellectual independence of the authors.

4. The reviewer should take into account the possibility of a conflict of interest in the case when the manuscript under consideration is closely related to the current or published work of the reviewer. If in doubt, the reviewer should immediately return the manuscript without a review, indicating a conflict of interest.

5. The reviewer should not evaluate the manuscript with the author or co-author of which he has personal or professional ties, and if such relations may affect the judgment of the manuscript.

The editorial board of the journal "Vestnik Saint-Petersburg university of State fire service of EMERCOM of Russia", published by the Saint-Petersburg university of State fire service of EMERCOM of Russia, maintains a high level of requirements for the selection and acceptance of articles submitted to the editorial office. These standards are determined by the scientific direction of the journal and the quality standards of publications adopted in the scientific community.

When developing the provisions of the publishing policy, the editorial board was guided by the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics, United Kingdom) and the experience of foreign professional communities, scientific organizations and editorial offices of periodicals, as well as the declaration of the Association of Scientific Editors and Publishers.

An essential feature of the professional scientific community is the adoption by scientists and specialists of the code, which establishes the basic norms of behavior and responsibilities of community members in relation to each other and to the public. Such a code is determined by the desire to ensure maximum benefit for the professional community and limit actions that could serve the interests of individuals, as well as ensure the right of each author to intellectual property.

The editorial board of the journal presents a set of ethical standards that should guide the persons involved in the publication of research results corresponding to the profile of the journal (editors, authors and reviewers).

The editorial board believes that the presented rules are understood and approved by the majority of qualified researchers, they can also provide significant assistance to students, graduate students and young scientists who are to some extent new to research. Recognized scientists may welcome the opportunity to revisit issues that are of great importance for scientific practice.

However, the editor may decide to use one or more of these reviewers if he feels that their opinions are important for an impartial review of the manuscript. Such a decision can be made, for example, in the case when there are serious contradictions between this manuscript and the previous work of a potential reviewer.

Ethical obligations of authors

1. The main responsibility of the author is to provide an accurate report on the conducted research, as well as an objective discussion of its significance.

2. The authors of the articles bear full responsibility for the content of the articles and for the fact of their publication. The editorial board of the journal does not bear any responsibility to the authors and/or third parties and organizations for possible damage caused by the publication of the article. The editorial board has the right to withdraw an already published article if it turns out that someone's rights or generally accepted norms of scientific ethics were violated during the publication of the article. The editorial board informs the author who submitted the article about the fact of withdrawal of the article.

3. The journal volume is a limited resource, therefore the author is obliged to use it wisely and economically.

4. The initial report on the results of the study should be sufficiently complete and contain the necessary links to available sources of information.

5. The author should cite those publications that have had a decisive influence on the essence of the presented work, as well as those that can quickly introduce the reader to earlier works that are essential for understanding this study. With the exception of reviews, it is necessary to minimize the citation of works that are not directly related to this message. The author is obliged to conduct a literary search in order to find and cite original publications that describe research closely related to his article.

6. When preparing a manuscript for publication, the author must inform the editor about the author's related manuscripts submitted to the press or accepted for publication. Copies of these manuscripts should be submitted to the editor, and their links to the manuscript submitted for publication should be indicated.

7. The author should not submit manuscripts describing essentially the same results to more than one journal in the form of an initial publication, unless this is a re-submission of a rejected journal or a manuscript withdrawn by the author. It is acceptable to submit a manuscript of a full article expanding on a previously published short preliminary report (message) on the same work. However, when submitting such a manuscript, the editor should be notified of an earlier message, and this preliminary message should be quoted in this manuscript.

8. The author must explicitly indicate the sources of all cited or submitted information, with the exception of well-known information. Information obtained privately, in the course of a conversation, during correspondence or during discussions with third parties, should not be used or reported in the author's work without the express permission of the researcher from whom this information was obtained. Information obtained during the provision of confidential services, such as reviewing manuscripts or projects submitted for grants, should be treated in the same way.

9. Experimental or theoretical research can sometimes serve as a basis for criticizing the work of another researcher. Published articles, where appropriate, may contain similar criticism. Personal criticism, however, cannot be considered appropriate under any circumstances.

10. Co-authors of the article should be all those persons who have made a significant scientific contribution to the presented work and who share responsibility for the results obtained. Other contributions should be noted in the notes or in the "Acknowledgements" section. Administrative relations with this research are not in themselves grounds for the qualification of the relevant person as a co-author (but in some cases it may be appropriate to note significant administrative assistance in the work). Deceased persons who meet the criteria formulated above should be included among the authors, and the date of their death should be indicated in the note. Fictitious names cannot be specified as an author or co-author. The author who submits the manuscript for publication is responsible for ensuring that all those and only those persons who meet the criterion of authorship are included in the list of co-authors. In an article written by several authors, one of the authors who submits contact information, documents to the editorial office, and conducts correspondence with the editors, assumes responsibility for the consent of the other authors of the article to its publication in the journal.

11. Authors should inform the editor of any potential conflict of interest, for example, consulting or financial interests of any company, which could be affected by the publication of the results contained in this manuscript. The authors must ensure that there are no contractual relations or proprietary considerations that could affect the publication of the information contained in the submitted manuscript.

Ethical obligations of reviewers

1. Since the review of manuscripts is an essential stage in the publication process and, thus, in the implementation of the scientific method as such, each scientist is obliged to perform a certain proportion of the work on reviewing.
