for monograph / collected articles, and the like:

Author(s) / editor(s) / compiler(s) (transliteration, surname separated from initials by comma). Title (transliteration in italics) [Translation of the title into English in square brackets]. Output data (city, publisher – in transliteration), digital data (year, pages).

for articles

Author(s) (transliteration, surname separated from initials by comma). Title (transliteration in italics) [Translation of the title into English in square brackets]. The title of the source (transliteration in italics) [Translation of the source title into English in square brackets]. Output data (city, publisher – in transliteration), digital data (year, pages).

! Please note – the elements of the bibliographic description are separated only by dots and commas, other characters (//, ; :) not used (see the examples below). It is also necessary to disclose abbreviations in the indication of the place of publication (Moscow, St. Petersburg, London, etc.).

! If the publication is printed in the publishing house of a scientific or educational institution, the name of the institution in English should be indicated in the bibliographic description. The names of other publishers are transliterated.

! In the Russian-language bibliographic list, titles of publications in other languages should be given in Cyrillic; in the transliterated list – in Latin with obligatory translation into English in compliance with all the above requirements.

! Surnames of foreign authors do not need to be transliterated, they should be written in the language of the author.

! It is mandatory to use systems for automatic translation of Cyrillic into the Roman alphabet, not to do transliteration manually. This will avoid transliteration errors. Correct transliteration of the bibliographic list is necessary to get into foreign analytical databases. Transliteration of the text according to the BSI (British Standards Institution) standard used for the correct translation of Russian letters into Latin when making a bibliographic description of scientific publications. To transliterate the Russian text into Latin in accordance with the BSI standard, you can use the link https://translit.net/ru/bsi/. In the list of suggested actions, select "In translit" ("В транслит").
