CRITERIA FOR TEXT CONFORMITY TO SCIENTIFIC STYLE 

Criteria of text conformity to scientific style were studied. We present the research of repetition rate of keywords and phrases in a text document, percentage ratio of stop words to the total number of words in the text, deviation of the words frequency graph in the text from the ideal Zipf’s chart. The study was carried out involving executable script that checks the text according to several criteria. As a result of an experimental study on a sample of 2500 articles published in HAC/RSCI sources, the distributions of criteria values were obtained and were checked for normality by several criteria, as well as for correlation between them. Based on these data analysis, threshold criteria values were obtained and mathematically substantiated, and then were used on a test sample consisting of the undergraduate works of students in St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University “LETI”, a pseudoscientific article “Rooter: A Methodology for the Typical Unification of Access Points and Redundancy”, technical articles from the Habr Internet IT community, "Capital" by Karl Marx and a number of other texts not related to the scientific style. A necessary but not sufficient condition for the compliance of the article to the scientific style was formulated.
