If the publication is not dated, it is recommended to add w.y. " without a year” to the prefix, and at the end of the bibliographic reference specify the date of your access to the material (i.e. the date when you opened and read this Internet resource). The Internet address of the cited resource is specified using the following example:

Dyatlova w. y – - Dyatlova V. A. German settlements of the Yenisei province / / Museums of the Omsk Priirtyshya. http://museum.omskelecom.ru/deutsche_in_sib/BOOK/germ_posel.htm (accessed: 10.15.2014)

After the list of references, REFERENCES to scientific literature must be given, arranged according to a different principle:

 REFERENCES:

1. References include ONLY research and conceptual articles (actually scientific literature) - after 1917. 

2. Dictionaries, encyclopedias, reference books, anthologies, publications of historical, literary, folklore, etc.texts, publications of expedition materials, and archival sources are NOT INCLUDED

3. We recommend using the transliteration Converter on the "Convert Cyrillic" website:

http://www.convertcyrillic.com/Utilities/Convert#/

In the left column (CONVERT FROM), select the option opposite which you see the correctly displayed phrase “Ðóññêèé ÿçûê” – most likely, it will be: Unicode [Ðóññêèé ÿçûê]

In the right column (CONVERT TO), select the second option: ALA-LC (Library of Congress) Romanization without Diacritics [Russkii iazyk]

Copy the list of scientific literature from your article to the window in the left column. Click the Convert button in the middle. In the right window, you will get the transliterated text. Copy it from the window to the file with your article. The main work is done: now you need to fix the typical small errors and make this list according to the examples given below:

 à) references to the” Volume " of the publication must be translated into English. “Vol.” (“Êí.” – “Bk.”, “×.” – “Pt.”)

 á) all abbreviations of cities need to be deployed: Ì. – in Moscow; ÑÏá. – in St. Petersburg; Ë. – in Leningrad; N.Y. – in New York; e t.c.

 â) all other abbreviations must be deployed (“izd-vo” – to “izdatel’stvo”; e t.c)

 ã) In references the digits of centuries should be in Arabic numerals.

 ä) names of foreign authors should not be transliterated, but should be given in the original. If you quote any works based on their Russian translation, the automatic transliterator will turn the surname Ìàðêñ into Marks (need to correct for Marx); Ìîññ to Moss (need to correct for Mauss); Ëåâè-Ñòðîñ to Levi-Stros (should be: Lévi-Strauss) e t.c

 å) Russian letters ß è Þ at the beginning of the word it is preferable to transliterate as Ya and Yu (as opposed to Ia and Iu, which are automatically given by the transliterator); i.e. it is preferred Yurii Yakovlev (and not Iurii Iakovlev)

 æ) only the names of journals (or other periodicals), books, and collections of articles are shown in italics in the romanized list.

 ç) Quotation marks – only “”

 English translations should be provided not only for romanized Russian names of articles and books, but also all other non-English names (i.e. German, French, etc.). The translations are provided for only the titles of articles and books, but not journals and other periodicals. For many titles of articles and books, ready-made English translations are already available. All major scientific journals currently provide English translations of article titles immediately upon publication. For the purpose of unification, it is preferable to use your own versions of magazines (or books).

The main punctuation mark in References is a comma. Put a dot after the title of the article. Pages of the monograph and pages in the article are indicated simply by numbers without the signs P., pp., S., etc.
