IN-TEXT CITATION RULES

References to normative legal acts, historical documents and newspaper articles are made in the text of the paper in the form of page-by-page footnotes and are NOT INCLUDED in References.

References to scientific literature (monographs, scientific articles) are given in parentheses within the text of the article: firstly, a surname of an author or authors (no more than the first three on the list), (or, where appropriate, title of publication or last name of an editor) for Russian literature in Latin transliteration and then, after a comma, year of publication of the cited source of this author.

The general format is as follows:

(Last name, year of publication)

Example:

  • (Fedorov, 1999) - if the whole work is meant.

When specifying pages:

(Last name, year of publication, colon, page number)

Example:

  • (Fedorov, 1999:987) - if there is a link to only one page.
  • (Ivanov, 1975:33-34) — if there is a link to several pages, an extensive fragment of the text.

When specifying a volume or part:

(Last name, year of publication, volume, colon, page number)

Example:

  • (Fedorov, 2015, II:44)

It is allowed to include the author's name in the text itself, indicating in parentheses only the year of publication and the page (s):

Example:

  • In this context, Ivanov (1975:40) drew attention to the fact that...

When quoting directly from a source, the quote in the text is enclosed in quotation marks and followed by a link to the original source:

Example:

"The points that make up the content of the law are, on the one hand, the individuality itself, and, on the other hand, its universal inorganic nature, i.e., the circumstances, situation, customs, mores, religion, etc., that have appeared, and from them it is necessary to understand a certain individuality. They contain the definite as well as the universal, and at the same time they are what is present, what appears to the observer and is expressed on the other side in the form of individuality" (Hegel, 2000:157).

If there is a link to several works by different authors, the sources are listed alphabetically, separated by semicolons:

Example:

  • Many researchers have paid attention to this problem (Fedorov, 1975; Watson, 2008).

If there is a link to one work with several authors, the link should be presented as follows:

Example:

  • If authors of the work are from 2 to 3: (Fedorov & Watson, 2008) or (Barros, Read & Verdejo, 2008).
  • If authors of the work are 4 or more: (Arrami et al., 2007).

It is allowed to indicate a reference to a separate paragraph or section of the source, if a reference is not to a specific fragment of the text, but to some idea or approach developed by the author of the paper.

No abbreviations are allowed to replace a reference to the source, for example: Ibid, Op. сit.
