Documents (archives, GOSTs, orders, regulations, ordinances, federal laws) should be indicated with footnotes in the text, and not in the references.

If you refer to an article from a newspaper, text from a website or blog, then information about the source should be placed in a footnote.

Information from unpublished sources must be marked with the words “unpublished data / documents”, authors must also obtain written confirmation of the use of such materials.

In the latter case, the file name must contain the illustration number and its title.

 Bibliographic references in Russian (Vancouver Style)

Articles without references to the sources and literature used are not accepted.

The structure of the bibliographic reference for Russian-language journal articles is as follows:

• authors (transliteration);

• title of the article in the transliterated version;

• translation of the title of the article into English in square brackets [***];

• source name (transliterated if there is no original title in English)

• output data with notation in English, or only digital;

• original language, you must specify the language in which the full text of the manuscript is written. In the case when the author publishes an article in two languages, it is necessary to indicate double indexation by language (for example, [ru; en]; (in Russian); (in English) (in Italy) (in Arabic) etc.

The titles of journals and conferences are in italics.
