Rules for executing references

References are listed individually, doubling the list of literature rendered in a source language according to the requirements of the SAC of Ukraine regardless of the availability of foreign sources. If the literature list doesn’t have non-Latin reference, the author provides one list - References.

The editorial office recommends the following alternate of the structure of bibliographic citations in References (for references in Cyrillic and Oriental languages):

full name of the authors (transliteration);

article’s title (transliteration)

source (transliteration);

output data with English indication of city, volume, issues, pages (publisher is transliterated). You should mark a source language at the end, e.g. (In Ukrainian).

 

Transliteration

Transliteration meets the standards BGN/PCGN (1965). Transliteration of Ukrainian sources from the list of literature is made using: http://www.translitteration.com/transliteration/en/ukrainian/bgn-pcgn/ Insert Cyrillic, etc. text in the box and click “Convert”, then copy the transliterated text.

In order to transliterate the text from another language, see: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/romanisation-systems (you can find the information about the transliteration from a particular language meeting BGN/PCGN) and search for the relevant converter and text translator for rendering one language into Cyrillic meeting BGN/PCGN.

References in our journal are executed following Harvard Style (BSI – British Standards Institution).

Materials from the following web-site are used: http://www.nbuv.gov.ua/node/868

The list is alphabetical.

 

References arrangement

The list of references is arranged alphabetically by author’s name. If there is more than one reference in the list of the same author, they should be arranged in chronological order of publication. If the author has more than one publication in the list in one year, it is necessary to use 2000a, 2000b, etc.:

• two authors, separated by “and” and without commas;
• several authors are separated by commas, but the last surname must be connected with “and” without a comma.
