References in the Roman Alphabet – Guidelines
In accordance with the requirements of international research abstract and analytics databases (Web of Science, Scopus, etc.), Russian-language journals must publish their References in the Roman alphabet. Proper formatting of references to the sources used by the paper makes it possible to provide an accurate assessment of publication activity of both the authors and the institutions they represent.
GOST R 7.0.5–2008 "References" that is used by authors for references in Russian-language publications is not applicable to references in the Roman alphabet, as international standards do not support separating characters included in GOST R 7.0.5–2008 (characters "//" and "-").
Transliteration of Russian-Language References
References can be transliterated using the automated online tool www.translit.ru.
To transliterate Russian-language references:
- Choose BSI system.
- Insert the list of references in Russian in the main box and click "в транслит".
- Edit the result in accordance with the requirements applicable to the publication type.
1. Basic standards for references to journal publications
- a) All authors are listed before the title.
- b) The number of authors is not limited to three. If the Russian-language reference does not list all authors (using "и др.", i.e. "et al."), the Roman-alphabet references must include all authors.
- c) No comma is used before initials in author's names.
- d) No quotes are put around the paper title.
- e) The journal name is followed by the year.
- f) The source name is written in italics.
- g) Transliteration of the Russian-language title is not included in references.
- h) Square brackets are put around an English-language translation of an Russian-language title.
General principle:
Author A.A., Author B.B., Author C.C., Author D.D. Title of article. Title of Journal, 2005, vol. 10, no. 2, pp. 49-53.
Example:
Kontorovich V.A., Lapkovskiy V.V., Lunev B.V. [The model of forming the wedge-like Neocomian complex of the Western Siberian oil and gas province in view of isostasy]. Oil and Gas Geology, 2014, no. 1, pp. 65–72. (In Russ.)
Paper from a Russian-language journal that publishers English-language summaries.
2. References to monograph or books (collections of works)
- a) Author(s) of the monograph.
- b) Title of the monograph (transliterated, in italics).
- c) English-language translation of the monograph title in square brackets.
- d) Imprint: place of publication in English (Moscow, St.Petersburg); publisher in English if it is an organization (Moscow St. Univ. Publ.), or a transliterated name if the establishment has its own name, with an indication that the establishment is a publishing house (GEOTAR-Media Publ., Nauka Publ.).
- e) Number of pages in the publications (500 p.).

If possible, the original name of the book should be written as the name of the translated publication. This approach makes it possible to find the author's publications by their original names. Alternatively, references can describe the translated book and include the original names of authors (making it clear that the book was written by foreign authors and published in Russian).

When the original title and/or author's names cannot be found, the description must use the title of the translated publication.
