RECOMMENDATIONS ON REFERENCES PREPARATION

Underarticle cited literature in Roman alphabet entitled as REFERENCES, is made in the order identical to the Russian variant with analogous numeration. References are placed after cited literature with Cyrillic alphabet.

References must be arranged in accordance with the following rules:

  1. The authors (transliteration), translation of the article title into English in square brackets, the title of the Russian-language source (transliteration) [translation into English – paraphrase (can be omitted for the journals), dataout with indication in English.
  2. The signs “//” and “–” are not allowed to use for division of structural elements of bibliographical description.

Requirements and rules for References design

-      while making the description of publishing without authors (collections, collective monographs) it is allowed to write one or maximum two editors of the publication instead of authors;

-      if the described publication has doi, it should be pointed out in the description in References;

-      it is not advisable to make voluntary shortenings in the citations of the sources titles. It often leads to the loss of connection, as the title may not be identified;

-      all main publishing particulars as to date and place of publication (in the description of the journals: denoting volumes, numbers, pages; in books description: place of publication – city, denoting publishing (except for own non-translated name of the publishing, it is transliterated)) must be presented in English;

-      in the description of Russian-language course books, study guides, the type of publication should not be pointed out;

-      in dataout of these publications, in citations (articles, books) it is necessary to point the amount of pages of the publication: the range of pages in publication is pointed as “pp.” before pages; the amount of pages in full publication (book) is pointed as “p” after pointing the amount of pages;

-      one publication is described in cited literature only once, despite the amount it was cited in the literature;

-      if the book in cited literature (in every variant – basic or in References) is described fully, then the full volume of publication should be marked in the description, despite the pages cited in the text; the exception are the cases when certain chapters from book in this variant, in cited literature the description of the chapter is given with pointing the pages “from-to”;

-      for transliteration it is necessary to use systems of automatic transmission of Cyrillic alphabet in Roman alphabet; do not transliterate by hand;

-      for journals published in Russian and English the reference is given to the English version of the journal.
