Submission Preparation Checklist
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with each of the following items, and submissions that do not adhere to these guidelines may be returned to the authors.
References:
- Should contain at least 15 sources on the research topic, including sources in foreign languages are desirable.
- NB! A mandatory requirement for the author is to include in the list of references and cite critical studies over the past five years. The editorial board strongly recommends that authors include in the content of articles an analysis of the main scientific literature on the research topic.
- Should be presented in Russian in accordance with GOST 7.1–2003 “System of standards for information, librarianship and publishing. Bibliographic entry. Bibliographic description. General requirements and rules for compilation.” The literature cited in the article (author, title, place, publisher, year of publication and pages “from and to” or total number) is given in alphabetical order, first domestic, then foreign authors.
- Works of one author are arranged chronologically - by year of publication, from earlier works to later ones.
- The list of references includes only peer-reviewed sources (articles from scientific journals and monographs) used in the text of the article. If it is necessary to refer to an article in a socio-political newspaper, text on a website, explanatory dictionaries, then information about the source should be placed in a footnote.
- References to articles accepted for publication but not yet published should be marked with the words "in press"; authors must obtain written permission to refer to such documents and confirmation that they have been accepted for publication.
- It is not recommended to refer to dissertation abstracts and provide them in the list of references.
- When describing a source, its DOI should be indicated, if it can be found.
- References must be verified, the output data checked on the official website of the journals and/or publishers.
- References – a combination of the English and transliterated parts of Russian-language references.
*When transliterating, it is necessary to use the BGN (Board of Geographic Names) system!
The list of references in Latin (References) is given in full as a separate block, repeating the list of references to the Russian-language part, regardless of whether it contains foreign sources or not. If the list contains references to foreign publications, they are fully repeated in the list prepared in Latin.
Bibliographic descriptions of Russian publications are compiled in the following sequence:
- author's surname, initials (transliteration);
- article title in transliterated version;
- [translation of article title into English in square brackets];
- name of Russian-language source (transliteration) in italics;
- [translation of source title into English in italics in square brackets];
- imprint: place of publication in English (Moscow, St. Petersburg); Publisher in English, if it is an organization (Moscow St. Univ. Publ.), and transliteration, if the publisher has its own name with an indication in English that it is a publisher: GEOTAR-Media Publ., Nauka Publ.
NB! The name of the source in the transliterated and translated English versions is italicized. Square brackets are NOT italicized.
