The peculiarity of using a non-standard structure of the article is that there is no Materials and Methods section. Instead, a brief and at the same time detailed research methodology is described in the last paragraph of the Introduction section. Another difference is that instead of the Results and Discussion section, this type of article should have at least two separate sections with appropriate subject titles (titles should be at least 5 words long!). The last feature of writing an article with a non-standard structure is the list of references. It should consist of at least 50 literature references (articles, books, dissertations).
