The main text is presented in Russian or English in a specific sequence.

Introduction. The scientific problem is stated, its relevance, its connection to the most important tasks that need to be solved, and its significance for the development of a particular field of science or practical activity. The introduction should contain information that will allow the reader to understand and evaluate the results of the research presented in the article. When writing it, the author should first state the general topic of the research and identify the problems not solved in previous studies that the article aims to address. The introduction expresses the main idea of the publication, which significantly differs from current understanding of the problem and complements or deepens existing approaches.

Materials and Methods. This section should overview the full scope of the research to verify the author’s findings. It may be divided into subsections if necessary. This section should provide a comprehensive understanding that the author is aware of all possible sources of error that could influence the research results.

Results and Discussion. This section covers the author’s systematic analytical and statistical data. The results of the study must be described in sufficient detail to allow the reader to follow its stages and assess the validity of the author’s conclusions. This is the main section, the purpose of which is to prove the working hypothesis (es). Results are supported, where necessary, by illustrations (tables, graphs, and figures) that present the source material or evidence in a condensed form. It is important that the illustrated information not duplicate information already presented in the text. It is advisable to compare the results presented in the article with previous work in this area, both by the author and other researchers. Such a comparison will further highlight the novelty of the work and lend it objectivity. The research results should be presented briefly, yet contain sufficient information to evaluate the conclusions reached. The rationale for selecting these specific data for analysis should also be justified.
Figures and diagrams are created directly in Microsoft Word. Graphs and charts should also be created in this text editor.
Numerical material should be presented in tables. Tables should be submitted in Microsoft Word and numbered sequentially.
Titles, captions, and structural elements of graphs, tables, diagrams, etc., must be in Russian and English.
Scientific terminology, notations, units of measurement, and symbols in the article must strictly comply with state standards.

Conclusions. It’s a brief statement of the research findings. This summarizes the main ideas of the study. Repetitions of the material mentioned above are best to be presented using new phrases that differ from those expressed in the main body of the article. This section should compare the obtained results with the stated aim at the beginning of the article. The conclusion summarizes the results of the study, gives generalizations, and recommendations arising from the work, highlights their practical significance, and identifies key areas for further research in this area. It is advisable to include forecasts for the future development of the issues discussed.

Funding: Indicate the source of funding for the study or indicate that the research has been carried out without sponsorship. It’s provided in Russian and in English.

All manuscripts submitted to the editorial board of the journal "News of the National Grain Center" undergo expert assessment for compliance with the journal scope and a double-blind peer review.
Initial manuscript evaluation for compliance with the journal requirements
Being submitted each manuscript is registered by the editorial board. The editorial board evaluates it for compliance with the formatting requirements.
The editorial secretary checks the article for compliance with the formatting requirements in accordance with the rules for authors, as well as for the borrowed text using the Antiplagiat system. The permissible volume of citations (correct borrowing) is no more than 30% of the total article length. This requirement does not apply to review articles, which for objective reasons require a greater number of citations. Such materials are considered by the editorial board on an individual basis. Texts where content is more than 30% similar to other scientific materials by the author (dissertations, author's abstracts, monographs, previous publications in journals and collections) are not accepted for publication. If multiple incorrect borrowings are detected, the editorial board acts in accordance with the COPE guidelines.
The secretary sends the article to the editorial board members for evaluation of its compliance with the journal scientific scope. The editorial board members decide whether to accept or reject the article. The decision is made within one week. The manuscript is submitted for peer review only if it fully complies with the formatting requirements.

Peer review
1. Articles are reviewed by members of the editorial board. Individuals who are not members of the journal editorial board—leading experts in the relevant field in Russia and other countries—may also be involved in the reviewing process. All reviewers are qualified specialists in the subject matter of the materials being reviewed and have publications on the topic of the article within the last three years. The editor-in-chief decides on the selection of a reviewer to review the article. The review period is three weeks, but it may be extended at the reviewer's request.    
2. Each article is sent to 2 reviewers.
3. Each reviewer has the right to withdraw from their assessment if they have a clear conflict of interests that could influence the perception and interpretation of the manuscript. Following the manuscript review, the reviewer makes recommendations regarding the article future considerations (each reviewer's decision is justified): 
- The article is recommended for publication in its current form;
- The article is recommended for publication after correction of the deficiencies noted by the reviewer;
- The article requires additional review by another specialist;
- The article cannot be published in the journal.
4. If the review contains recommendations for correction and revision of the article, the editorial board sends copies of the reviews to the author of the submitted materials with a proposal to take them into account when preparing a new version of the article or to substantiate their refutation (in part or in full). Revision of the article should not take more than one month from the moment the author receives an email notification about the need for changes. The article, revised by the author, is resubmitted for review. The date of receipt by the editors is considered the date of return of the revised manuscript. Manuscripts received by the editors after revision, taking into account the comments, are reviewed in the general order of priority.   
5. If the authors refuse to revise their materials, they must notify the editors in writing or orally of their refusal to publish the article. If the authors fail to return the revised version within two months of submitting the review, even in the absence of any information from the authors regarding their refusal to revise the article, the editors will remove it from the registration. In such situations, the authors are sent a corresponding notice of the manuscript deregistration due to the expiration of the revision period.  
6. If the author and reviewers have irreconcilable disagreements regarding the manuscript, the editorial board reserves the right to send the manuscript for additional review. In conflict situations, the editor-in-chief makes the decision at a meeting of the editorial board. 
7. If a manuscript receives two negative reviews from two different reviewers, or one review of a revised version, the manuscript is rejected by the editors without consideration. The decision to reject a manuscript for publication is made at a meeting of the editorial board in accordance with the reviewers' recommendations. An article not recommended for publication by the editorial board will not be accepted for re-review. A reasoned rejection will be sent to the author via email.  
8. The editors request notification if the author decides to withdraw from publication. If the author fails to do so within one month of receiving the initial review, the editors will remove the manuscript from their records and notify the author accordingly. 
9. After the journal editorial board has made a decision to accept an article for publication, the editors inform the author of this and indicate the publication deadline.
10. The editors do not accept previously rejected manuscripts for re-review.
11. A positive review is not sufficient grounds for publication of an article. The final decision on publication is made by the editorial board. In case of a conflict, the editor-in-chief makes the final decision. 
12. The order of publication of articles is determined by the sequence in which they are received by the editors. Articles on particularly important scientific issues or containing fundamentally new information may be published out of turn at the discretion of the editor-in-chief. 
13. The original reviews are kept by the journal editorial staff for five years. Upon receipt of a request for a review from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the journal editorial staff will send copies of the reviews.
