These elements are then repeated in English in the same sequence. Format: Times New Roman font, size 10 pt, line spacing 1.0 (single line).

4.1. Rules for drawing up the Список Литературы

The list of references includes scientific publications that are mentioned in the main text of the article. References to Internet sites, Internet sources (does not apply to scientific works posted on the Internet), normative-legal documentation (laws, regulations, acts, etc.), reports, reports, statistical publications (including collections, bulletins), reference books, dictionaries and encyclopaedias, textbooks, newspaper publications are not indicated in the reference list, they are located in the text in footnotes.

The list of references should consist of at least 15 sources, including scientific publications not only by domestic but also by foreign authors. In the list of literature the number of publications with participation of the authors of the article should not exceed 20%, the number of publications of Russian sources older than 5 years should not exceed 30% of the number of Russian sources, the number of publications of foreign authors should not be less than 20%. It is recommended to use materials published in journals included in the core of the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI), namely Scopus, Web of Science, including RSCI, and equivalent international databases of scientific citation (Google Scolar, etc.), as well as journals from the VAK list of category K1.The sources included in the reference list are numbered and arranged in the order of their mentioning in the text of the article. All sources included in the reference list should be referenced in the text of the article. References in the text of the article should be enclosed in square brackets with an indication of the serial number of the reference list, for example: [4] or [2, p. 86], [5, pp. 12-14] when referring to a specific fragment of the source text. If the reference contains information about several sources, groups of information in square brackets are separated by a semicolon sign.

In bibliographic descriptions of sources, authors' full names are indicated using the following rules:

- publications of up to three authors: authors' full names are placed at the beginning of the bibliographic record in the sequence surname-name-patronymic.

- publications with four authors: all authors are indicated by a slash under the title, with the first name and patronymic preceding the surname.

- publications with five or more authors: all authors are indicated with a slash under the title, with the first name and patronymic before the surname. Abbreviations are allowed - the first 3 authors may be listed with the designation [et al]. If necessary, all authors may be listed.

When forming a bibliographic record it is necessary to observe the following rules: the authors' full names located at the beginning of the bibliographic record are in italics; no space is put between the name and patronymic of the authors; two-sided spaces are applied to the separating signs (for different elements of the bibliographic description) slash / and double slash //; the separating sign dash (for different elements) is not used; when describing an article from the journal it is necessary to observe a space between the sign № (number of the journal issue) and the numerical value (for example, № 2); in the records of the type № 2(77) in the description of sources it is not applied. The entry [Electronic resource] is not used in the description of sources. Foreign sources are formatted according to Russian standards.

For books indicate the place of publication, publisher, total number of pages (e.g., 50 p.), for articles - the range of pages (e.g., P. 12-25). If available, ISBN for books, DOI and EDN for books and articles should be indicated without applying a colon to the abbreviation. The DOI identifier is in the form of an e-mail address (https://doi.org/...) without the additional abbreviation DOI. The identifiers are arranged in the above-mentioned order, separated by a semicolon when enumerated.

4.2. Rules for drawing References

The list of references in Latin script is given in "References" using the Vancouver style. The numbering of entries in References should coincide with the numbering of entries in the List of References.

Authors. If the publication has an official English translation, the authors' names and surnames from the official source should be given. If the work has no original English translation, the surnames and names of authors in References are written in transliteration according to the BSI (British Standards Institution) standard https://transliteration.pro/bsi. The BSI standard is used for correct translation of Russian letters into Latin letters, which is important for bibliographic description of scientific publications and for entering foreign analytical databases.

All authors are listed at the beginning of the bibliographic description of sources, with initials after the surname. A comma is NOT placed between the surname and initials; a space between the first name and patronymic is NOT used. When listing the authors' full names, they are separated by a comma. In the bibliographic description of the source should be presented all authors, if their number is from one to three. If a publication has more than 3 authors, the abbreviation "et al." should be placed after the 3rd author. A comma separating the name of the last author and "et al." is mandatory.

Punctuation. References do not use separating signs (between different elements of the bibliographic record) slash "/", double slash "//", dash "-", they should be replaced by dots. . Inverted commas are also not used. References do not use separators (between different elements of the bibliographic record) slash “/”, double slash “//”, dash “-”, they should be replaced with periods.

In a book publication, the number of pages is indicated using the lowercase English letter p with a dot at the end (e.g., 50 p.). The following rule applies to journal articles: the year, volume and issue number of the journal, as well as pages are indicated without spaces in the form 2020;33(2):21-43. Here the year is 2020, Volume 33, issue number 2, pages 21-43. The journal issue number is always given in parentheses.

Title of the publication. The title of the publication is separated from the rest of the bibliographic description by a full stop. If the publication has an English translation of the title, it should be indicated. If the work does not have an original English translation of the title, it should not be translated independently. If there is an original title of the publication in Latin, the original version is given in References. In the absence of the original Latin version of the publication title, the BSI transliteration of the title is given in References, using the online transliteration for this purpose (see: https://transliteration.pro/bsi).

Name of the journal (edition). The name of Russian-language journals in References is given in transliteration, followed by an equal sign without spaces and the English title of the journal. The original English version of the journal title is given; if it is not available, transliteration should be used. In References, the title of the journal is italicised.

It should be borne in mind that some non-English-language scientific publications (journals) have an official title in English in addition to the name in their native language. For example, the journal "Уровень жизни населения регионов России" has an official English-language title "Living Standards of the Population in the Regions of Russia". Journal titles should not be translated independently.

Search for published translations of titles of articles, books and websites is carried out on the official website of the primary source (journal), in bibliographic databases (RINC, Kiberleninka, etc.), on the Internet, in other libraries, using DOI (doi.org and https://search.crossref.org).

Place of publication. The place of publication in References should always be indicated in English (not in transliteration) and in full (without abbreviations), i.e. Moscow, not "Moskva" and not "M.:", Saint Petersburg, not "Sankt Peterburg" and not "SPb".

Name of the publisher/publishers. Unlike the place of publication, the name of the publisher in References should only be transliterated (except in very rare cases where the publisher has a parallel official English-language name).

Publication identifiers. If available, ISBN identifiers for books, DOI for books and articles are indicated. They should be identical to those given in the "List of References" for the respective sources. The EDN identifier is not provided in References. For Russian-language sources, at the end of the bibliographic description indicate the language of the article (In Russ.) without a dot after at the end of the bibliographic description. If available, ISBN for books, DOI for books and articles. They must be identical to those indicated in the "List of references" for the relevant sources. The EDN identifier is not given in the references. For Russian-language sources, at the end of the bibliographic description, is indicated the language of the article (in Russian) without a period after the end of the bibliographic description.

Examples of bibliographic description of sources:
