Requirements for the design of the list of used sources
The list of references should consist of two blocks: “List of used sources” for Ukrainian versions of the article and “References” for English versions of the article:
- Each source in the list of used sources should be referenced in the text. Sources are listed in the order of references and are formatted in accordance with the requirements approved by the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine in the field of citation and formatting of lists of used literature (Bulletin of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine No. 6, 2007 (with changes - Bulletin of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine No. 3, 2008)). These requirements are based on the provisions of DSTU Derzhstandart 7.1:2006 “System of standards for information, library and publishing. Bibliographic record. Bibliographic reference. General provisions and rules of compilation (DSTU 8302:2015).
- References – the same list of literature, but transliterated in the Latin alphabet (recommended by the international bibliographic standard APA-2010 (APA standard – http://www.bibme.org/citation-guide/APA/book)). Cyrillic titles of the bibliographic description of scientific works must be transliterated (in accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 01/27/2010 No. 55 “On the Systematization of the Transliteration of the Ukrainian Alphabet into the Latin Alphabet”), and in brackets – in English.
For example:
At least half of the sources must have a DOI.
To automate the process of transliterating Ukrainian text, it is recommended to use widely used online services (for example, translate.google.com.ua).
To ensure compatibility with the international DOI system, it is advisable to check References for the presence of DOI identifiers. To do this, you must first copy the References text (without numbering!), go to the web page https://search.crossref.org/references), paste the copied text into the "Match references to DOIs using Crossref Metadata Search fuzzy matching" field and perform the "Match to DOIs" operation. If DOI identifiers are found for some items, they must be checked (visited) and, if correct, added as an Internet link in the form "DOI: ". DOI identifiers can also be added if you know them.
