Requirements for creating a list of references (References)

1.The structure of the bibliographic reference to the Cyrillic source:

 surname(s) and initials of the author(s) (transliteration);

  • the transliterated title of the publication or its title in English;
  • the transliterated name of the source or its name in English (journal, conference, year of publication, volume, number);
  • digital DOI identifier for references that have it (required);
  • if the publication does not have a digital DOI identifier, it is necessary to specify the full Internet address (URL);
  • for a monograph, indicate the source data (place of publication, publisher, number of pages).
  1. Algorithm for creating a list of references:

 2.1. If the scientific work is written in a language that uses the Cyrillic alphabet without an English translation, then its bibliographic description must be transliterated in Latin letters;

2.2. Transliterate descriptions of Cyrillic sources using automatic transliteration systems:

Ukrainian transliteration: http://ukrlit.org/transliteratsiia

You can manually structure each transliterated source (as shown in the sample and requirements) or automatically using the APA site's citation system.

2.3. Edit the reference list according to the APA standard

2.4. After each source it is MANDATORY to add its digital identifier DOI

2.5. References must contain at least 5 sources with mandatory citation in the text of the article

2.6. References to author's works or articles (self-citations) should not exceed more than 10% of the total number of sources.

  1. List of references arrangement:

The list of  sources referred to is placed at the end of the work on a separate page. It provides the information necessary for finding and retrieving any source cited in the text of the document. Each source cited in the work must appear in the list of referred sources. Besides, each entry in the list of sources referred to should be mentioned in the text of the work.

The name of the list sources referred to according to the language of the article - Literature (References)

Sources are organized in an alphabetical order.

 4.Rules of bibliographic description for the reference list

 The sources referred to in the work are drawn up in accordance with the international rules of citation and references in scientific works - the APA standard

If one to six authors are listed in the publication, all their names shoud be separated by commas in the reference.

Must abbreviate month names in application/publication dates, etc. (according to language rules of a particular country).

 REFERENCE LIST SAMPLE

Before sending, the authors should self-check the scientific text on:

  • Plagiarism, which is a necessary condition for submitting an article for further review. The level of individuality of the research should not be lower than 80%.
  • Scientific style of presenting the material.
  • Tautology - repetition in the text.
  • Universality of presentation of the material (readability). The text of the article should be easy and simple to understand, not be overloaded with abbreviations, special narrow-profile terminology or such that has not acquired international adaptation. Sentences should be simple, concise and have a complete meaning.
  • The number of references to articles and scientific materials with a DOI identifier (at least 80%).
  • Compliance with the requirements of the publication.

Common mistakes in manuscripts:

1.Using "extra" words and expressions in sentences. All “extras” should be avoided. Be guided by the rule: "If a word can be omitted from a sentence without losing meaning -the word must omitted." It also applies to larger text fragments.

2.The units of measurement are not correctly specified. System units of the SI system are given without a dot (m, g, ha, mole), and non-standardized units are given by abbreviations.

3.The symbols "—", "–" and "-" must be distinguished. The first of them is not used in the manuscripts.

4.Most editorial changes are due to the incorrect use of the words "in", "at", "and", "both", "from", "by", "with".

5.The articles do not use the expressions "worse" - we replace them with "inferior", "needed" - "necessary", "in case" - "provided", etc.

  1. You should try to avoid expressions that are too informal, unsophisticated, vague, exaggerated, or subjective, as well as those that are generally unnecessary or incorrect.

7.Abbreviations of scientific terms in the article should be kept to a minimum.

8.Titles of tables and figures (and notes to them) should be "exhaustive". The reader should not re-read the Materials and Research Methods or the title of the work to understand the content of the table or figure.

9.Articles are most often rejected by the editorial board due to the lack of statistical processing of primary data (general requirements for professional publications).

  1. The use of passive voice in research papers has traditionally been favored; however, in recent years, more journals have started to prefer the use of active voice in research papers. This is because scientific articles should be simple to read and comprehend, and most sentences written in the active voice are succinct, straightforward, and vigorous. It does not imply that sentences in the passive voice have no place in your research articles.

11.If there are questions about the design or presentation of certain data in the article, you can take a sample of the latest issue of the magazine.

12.It is not possible to edit the figures, tables, formulas given in the article. It is necessary to enable the editors to edit them, that is, not to use non-standard programs.

Please note that papers not following the guidelines are not accepted.
