The article is typed with font TNR 10 pt, intervals 1.0, lower case letters. Indentation at 6 mm from the beginning of the line is the same across the paper. Align of paragraphs is on the width. Paragraphs are not separated from each other. Titles are typed with font TNR 10 pt, bold, italic type, lower case letters. No first line indent, centered.

6. It is not permitted to place designation for units of measuring along with formula that reflects relationship between variables or between their numerical values in the form of letters.

Editor formulas must have the following parameters – dimensions: overall – 11 pt, large indexes – 8 pt, small indexes – 6 pt, big characters – 17 pt, small characters – 11 pt; style: the text of functions, variables, matrix-vector, the number – the font TNR, for the rest of styles – the font Symbol.

References (double column structure of paper is kept). A list of sources is placed in alphabetical order and is provided with the subtitle REFERENCES (if the article English) – TNR 10 pt, in capital letters, which is separated from the main text and the list of references with intervals: before 12 pt, after 6 pt and placed in the middle of column. The presence of references in the paper is obligatory!

Then by one column are given:

• block in Russian: a full list of (co)authors, information about the (co)authors, title, abstract, keywords – format meets the requirements for design of paper;

Headers and footers are not filled. Headers and Footers and date of receipt of paper are inserted  when typesetting.

In the attached letter it should be indicated in which section of the journal ("Geodesy", "Geology" and "Geophysics") it is proposed to include the paper.
Papers submitted in the journal "Geodynamics" maintain a closed independent review.

For papers related to adjacent to geodynamics issues, the relationship of discovered results of the research should be presented as geodynamic problems in the introduction and conclusion (preferably also displayed in the title)

Papers prepared with deviation from the above requirements of formatting, as well as those that received negative reviews or comments after editorial review, without appropriate corrections and improvements are not accepted for publication in the journal.
