Format of bibliographic items
In the main text and in footnotes:
- use Latin forms (e.g., cf., ibidem);
- divide subsequent descriptions with a semi-colon;
- titles of papers, articles and series are written in italics;
- in case of Eastern Slavic items (e.g. Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian), no transliteration or transcription is allowed: the original name in the Cyrillic script is to be provided, along with designation of volumes, numbers and pages proper for a foreign language. This principle is applied to any items in foreign languages.
