Online first (OF) is the advance electronic publication of accepted articles that will be posted in upcoming issues. OF articles cannot be changed (including title, authors, etc.) or withdrawn (without regard to violation of publication ethics). Such an online publication differs from a traditional one in that it does not have fixed page numbers and is not tied to a specific journal issue. However, each such publication has a digital DOI identifier or EDN number for correct citation and is indexed by databases in the usual manner. That is, the article can be fully used in the lists of references and indicated in the reporting documents.
After the formation of the printed version of the volume, the missing information is added to the articles, but the URL address of the article and DOI or EDN number are not changed.
Advantages of Online First:
Online First articles are posted in Russian and English as they are approved by the editor-in-chief and as the editorial process is completed.
When citing an Online First article, you must include the author's name, article title, journal title, year of publication, and DOI or EDN number. Example of the citation format:

The article presents the results of experimental and methodological work on the use of magnetotelluric sounding in the area of the Russian Progress Station (Princess Elizabeth Land, East Antarctica). The research was accomplished by a field team from the Saint Petersburg Mining University in the course of the 71st Russian Antarctic Expedition (2025-2026) and is a continuation of the comprehensive geological and geophysical studies of East Antarctica. The main focus is on the practical application of the method in high polar latitudes. Issues related to ensuring the operability of the equipment, fieldwork logistics, and the influence of physiographic conditions on measurements are considered. The study of the geological structure of the Antarctic continent is complicated by the occurrence of a thick ice sheet which ensures the leading role of geophysical methods in solving this problem. The article presents the results of practical application of the Russian Nord electrical prospecting hardware-software measurement system and the Canadian MTU-5A together with preamplifiers designed to compensate for a high grounding contact resistance. The experimental and methodological survey line is laid across the Amery lineament, a large linear magnetic anomaly extending sublatitudinally for over 500 km. A comprehensive interpretation of magnetotelluric data and the anomalous magnetic field was accomplished. A resistivity section was constructed using a two-dimensional inversion, and a direct problem for the magnetic field was solved. As a result, a model is proposed for the structure of the Proterozoic suture zone, the rocks of which create a positive anomaly in the magnetic field. In the resistivity section, the anomalies with increased conductivity at depths below 10 km correspond to this structure. The obtained data create new opportunities for studying the deep structure and geodynamics of the East Antarctica.
This paper presents a methodology for conducting scientific experiments involving well drilling in the Timan–Pechora petroleum province, confined to the marginal foredeep zone of the northeastern part of the Russian Platform. The research concept is grounded in the metageology of the deep genesis of hydrocarbons in this province and the influence of tectonics on this process - which may not only actively govern the entire cycle, from hydrocarbon generation in source strata to their migration and accumulation in traps, but also effect the reconfiguration of existing accumulations. The planned detailed geochemical and geodynamic analysis of Silurian and Ordovician rock units is aimed at refining the role of high-temperature fluxes in subduction zones, which, owing to the immense endogenic energy of the Earth and vortex structures of energy and mass transfer, may facilitate plume and fluid mobilization, promote hydrocarbon remobilization, and establish a system of replenishment and accumulation. The acquisition of additional and more reliable information on the deep structure of subsilurian (pre-Devonian) strata through drilling, together with the examination of Silurian and Ordovician core material, will provide a rich and essential downhole "food for thought" regarding the hydrocarbon occurrence in the deep zones of conventional petroleum provinces.
