  Bibliographic references to archival documents are compiled in accordance with GOST R. 7.0.5−2008 "System of Standards on Information, Librarianship and Publishing. References. General Requirements and Rules of Arrangement".

• RULES TO ARRANGE REFERENCE LIST IN LATIN

  Authors should take into account that the presentation of the Russian-language text (Cyrillic) according to different transliteration rules (or no rules at all) leads to the loss of the necessary information in the Scopus analytical system.

  Authors are kindly requested to choose one of the transliteration systems both for transliterating last names and data in other sections where transliteration is used (part of the addresses of authors' organizations, references in the Roman alphabet, proper names of various objects in abstracts, etc.). As an exception, the editorial staff may accept the variant of the last name suggested by the author.

  The reference list is additionally presented in the Latin alphabet (Roman alphabet) using an automatic transliteration system and a translator. The section of translated and transliterated literature sources is titled "References".

  The transliterated list is arranged in the order of citation.

  Bibliographic descriptions of publications are composed in the following sequence: authors (transliteration); translation of the article title into English; article title in transliterated version enclosed in square brackets; source name (transliteration, italic formatting); output data in English. Please note that all words, with the exception of articles, conjunctions and prepositions, are capitalized in the titles of articles, journals and collections of research papers.

  For example:

  1. Тамарченко, Н. Д. Теория литературы: в 2 т. Т. 1. Теория художественного дискурса / Н. Д. Тамарченко ; под ред. Н. Д. Тамарченко. – М. : Академия, 2007. – 509 с.

  After translation and transliteration:

  1. Tamarchenko N.D. Teoriya literatury: v 2 t. T. 1. Teoriya khudozhestvennogo diskursa [Theory of Literature: in 2 vols. T. 1. Theory of Artistic Discourse]; pod redaktsiey N.D. Tamarchenko. Moscow: Academy, 2007. 509 s.

  There are a lot of transliteration systems. Therefore, it is important to choose and stick to one or two of the most common systems. You can use http://www.translit.ru/ for transliterating Russian to Latin for free (by choosing the option of the Board of Geographic Names (BGN) system).
