Correctly composed source includes the following information:

  • Surname and initials of the author;
  • Name of the book;
  • City in which the book is published;
  • Name of publishing house;
  • Year of edition;
  • Total of pages;
  • If in paginal footnotes the link leads to a concrete place in the source, instead of total of pages the particular page is specified. Thus in the References the total of pages is specified in the source.

Layout of collections, articles in magazines, materials of conferences has its specific features.

In scientific articles it is accepted to draw up footnotes instructions on the used sources. It is better to include abstract discourses, explanations of terms in the text.

For example, instead of:

The first way is the criticism (denial) of the thesis. Its purpose is to show the inadequacy (falsehood or an inaccuracy) of the thesis exposed by the proponent1 of the 1st thesis. Denial of such thesis can be direct or indirect.

___________________
[1] Participants of discussion have their names: the one who put forward and defended the thesis is called proponent, the one who argues to the contrary is called the opponent.


It is required to write:

The first way is the criticism (denial) of the thesis. Its purpose is to show the inadequacy (falsehood or an inaccuracy) of the thesis exposed by the proponent of the 1st thesis. Proponent is the one who put forward and defended the thesis. The other participant of the discussion is called opponent.


There are two types of footnotes: paginal and end. End footnotes, in fact, are indexes on sources in the list of References.

End footnotes are digits in square brackets with number of the source in the list of References and, if necessary, number of the page in this source. Between number of the source and number of the page a comma is put. If a footnote indicates several sources, between digits the semicolon is put.

Example

When using end footnotes it is important to pay attention that in the list of sources there are no repetitions.

When using paginal footnotes it is important to pay attention that in one place of the text, only one footnote mark is placed. In case it refers to several sources, they are listed through a semicolon in one footnote.

For example, it is incorrect to draw it up like this:


It is required to do it like this:

If the same source repeats several times on one page, instead of its complete description is written In the same place.

If you follow these simple rules your publications will look accurately and professionally, and at modification the text won't "fall to pieces". We wish you further success, and also a lot of new interesting and useful publications.
