The periodic scientific professional publication “Optoelectronics and Semiconductor Technology” / “Оптоелектроніка та напівпровідникова техніка” accepts for publication original research articles, short communications, review articles, and scientific-practical materials covering current issues in optoelectronics, semiconductor physics and technology, photonics, sensorics, electronic instrumentation, micro- and nanoelectronics, information-measuring technologies, LED and laser systems, functional materials, and related areas of technical sciences.
Materials that have not been previously published and are not under consideration for publication in other journals at the time of submission are accepted for review. All original articles undergo professional peer review by leading Ukrainian and/or international specialists in the relevant scientific field. The review process involves at least two independent reviewers who assess the scientific novelty, relevance, reliability of results, methodological correctness, compliance with the journal’s scope, and adherence to the principles of academic integrity. The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject a manuscript, return it to the authors for revision, or recommend it for publication based on the results of peer review.
Articles are published in Ukrainian or English. Each article must include the title, author information, abstract, and keywords in both Ukrainian and English in accordance with the journal’s requirements.

Agreement on copyright transfer to the Publisher. Copyright transfer forms may be obtained from the Editorial Office. These are accessible on the Internet page above.
Title Page:
1. UDK - Universal Decimal Classification code (for authors from FSU). Several comma-separated codes are allowed. If no classification codes are indicated, the code(s) will be assigned bythe Editorial Board.
2. Title of the paper and name(s) of the author(s).
3. Name of affiliated institution, full address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail addresses (if available) for each author.
Abstract: which must be at least 1,700 characters long, must be submitted in both English and Ukrainian. The title of the article and the last names and initials of all authors must be listed in the same language before the text of the abstract.
Keywords: their amount must not exceed eight word units. In the specific cases it is acceptible to use two- or threeword terms. These words must be placed under the abstract and written in the same language.
Text should be printed double-spaced on white paper (A4 format) with a 12-point font. Titles of the paper and sections should be typed with bold capitals.
Equations should be entered using MS Equation Editor. Papers with handwritten equations are not accepted. Notations should be defined when first appearing in the text.
Tables should be submitted on separate pages in the format of appropriate text processors (see above), or in the text format (with columns separated by periods, commas, semicolons, or tabulation characters). Use of pseudographic characters is not allowed.
List of references should be double-spaced, with references numbered in order of their appearance in the text. The format for references is as follows: Books: Author(s) (initials, then last names), book title (in italics), publishers, city and year of publishing. (If reference is made to a particular chapter, indicate chapter title, book title in italics, and page numbers). Example: J. A. Hall, Imaging tubes, Chap. 14 in The Infrared Handbook, Eds. W. W. Wolfe, G. J. Zissis, pp. 132–176, ERIM, Ann Arbor, MI (1978). Journals: Author(s) (initials, then last names), paper title, journal name in italics (use abbreviated names only for well-known journals), volume and issue numbers, page numbers, year of publishing. Example: N. Blutzer and A. S. Jensen, Current readout of infrared detectors. Opt. Eng. 26 (3), pp. 241–248 (1987).
Captions for figures and tables should be printed in the manuscript double-spaced after the list of references. Footnotes should be avoided if possible.
Pictures will be scanned for digital reproduction. Only highquality pictures can be accepted. Inscriptions and symbols should be printed inside. Negatives, slides, and transparencies are not accepted.
Figures: each figure should be printed on a separate page of the manuscript and have a size not exceeding 160×200 mm. For text in figures, use 10-point fonts. Measurement units should be indicated after a comma (not in parentheses). All figures are to be numbered in order of their appearance in the text, with sections denoted as (a), (b), etc. Placing figure numbers and captions inside figures is not allowed. On the back side, write with a pencil the paper title, author(s) name(s) and figure number, and mark the top side with an arrow.
Photographs should be submited as original prints.
Open Data Policy
The Editorial Board of the scientific collected papers “Optoelectronics and Semiconductor Technology” supports the principles of open science, research transparency, reproducibility of scientific results, and proper management of research data. Authors are encouraged to deposit research datasets related to published articles in institutional, national, or international research data repositories that ensure long-term storage, open access, persistent identification, and citation of data.
Where possible, research data should comply with the FAIR principles: they should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. Such data may include experimental results, measurement datasets, spectral, electrophysical, optical, thermophysical, or computational data, software code, models, images, tables, supplementary materials, and other digital objects necessary for verifying, reproducing, or reusing the research results.
If a research dataset is deposited in a repository and assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), authors must indicate the DOI of such dataset in the article metadata, in the “Data Availability” section, or in the list of references. In this section, authors should briefly specify where the data are deposited, under what conditions they are available, and whether there are any restrictions on their use.
