For Authors

Reference List Preparation

1. Reference list entries should be numbered in the order they are first mentioned in the text, i.e. the source referred to first is numbered “1”, the second “2”, etc.

2. Each reference is listed once only, since the same number is used throughout the paper. However, page numbers may change. In-text citations are put in square brackets. For example: [6, p. 2].

3. The absence of page numbers within square brackets implies that the reference is made to the entire work. Several references to one and the same thing are indicated within square brackets, the reference numbers are separated from one another by a semicolon followed by a space. For example: [5, p. 3; 6; 9].

4. A reference entry includes key elements allowing one to easily identify the source. There is no need to overburden the reference with elements necessary for electronic or card catalogues of libraries.

For books:

• The author’s or editor’s (compiler’s) name (or names)
• The title of the book
