There are several general rules:

  • In the case of a repeated reference to the same unit of used literature, information about the place and year of publication is omitted. The title may be quoted in full or abbreviated to a few words followed by an ellipsis. If such a reference is in a row, it is necessary to use the designations: Ibid or Ibid.
  • References to sources are indicated inside the text in brackets in accordance with the tradition: a comma-separated abbreviated author’s name, title, chapter (in Roman numerals), paragraph line (if available, in Arabic numerals). For ancient Greek texts and other rare languages ​​(Akkadian, Hebrew, etc.), Latin names or Latin transcriptions are used.
  • no italics is used
  • Commas are used only to delimit several authors, publisher, the year of publication and several places of publications.
  • In other cases use full stop marks.
  • Use // as “in”-mark
  • Use / to give comments about editor, translator or publication numbers.
  • Series and volume of the series in given in brackets after the bibliographical description.
  • To mark editors use the following abbreviations: Ed. by (English), Éd (French), Hrsg. von (German), Ed. (other languages)
  • To mark pagers us S. for German and Р. for English and Roman languages.
  • To mark volumes use the following abbreviations: Vol. (Enlish, Latin), T. (French), Bd (German)
  • For periodical volumes and numbers of journal go after the year, for non-periodical this information is put before the place of edition.
  • All titles of non-latin alphabet should be translited according to BGN standard with translation to English given after in square brackets. Literature in Russian could be given in original language.
  • The use of abbreviated titles of journals (VDI, ZDA) is not allowed.
  • Places of publication are separated from each other by a semicolon.

List of references

The design of the list is based on the principles of a brief bibliographic description and is generally similar to the design of footnotes.

The bibliography is compiled in alphabetical order. First there are items in Russian, then in European languages, then languages of other alphabets (Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, etc.).

N. B.: 

  • Sources are not included in the bibliography.
  • The list must be numbered (use the automatic numbering of the list in Word).
  • A dot is placed after each item in the bibliography.
  • The list cannot contain research papers not mentioned in footnotes.
  • The list does NOT contain information about publishers and the total number of pages (in monographs).
  • For articles, the page range of the entire article is specified.
  • Literature in Russian and other rare languages ​​(i.e., non-European languages ​​(French, German, Italian, Spanish) is formatted separately. The description in the original language must be duplicated in transliteration, according to BGN standards, which is given in square brackets. It is recommended to use automated servers https://translit.net/ru/bgn/ After the transliterated title of the article or monograph, the translation into English must be indicated in square brackets.
  • The Russian names of the cities – Москва, Санкт-Петербург, etc. – are transmitted in transliterated form without abbreviation, according to the rules of the English language (Moscow, Saint-Petersburg).
