All the texts should be edited and proofread, texts in English – edited by a native English speaker.

  • A .jpg photo to place in the rubric “AUTHORS” (not less than 300 x 300 pixels)

In case the author uses additional fonts in the text, they should be sent as separate files.

The manuscript should indicate the author(s) name(s) (e.g.: A.I. Petrov, J. Smith), the name of the article (written in the manuscript’s language).

After the main text the following parts should be provided:

  • References
  • List of sources
  • List of abbreviations

The author should also submit as separate files the abstracts (200-300 words) and key words (10-15 words) in two languages.

While formatting the text:

  • do NOT use automatic hyphenation;
  • do NOT use automatic references/notes; they should be provided manually after the text and before ‘References’;
  • Do NOT use additional spacing before and after paragraphs.

Before sending out the files, please unite all the materials (title page, text of the article, additional fonts, illustrations, list of illustrations, etc.) into one zipped file (WinZip or WinRar, e.g. Ivanov.zip or Ivanov.rar).

RULES OF REFERENCES FORMATTING

1) A reference should be done in round brackets – showing the authors’ surnames, then year without punctuation marks, and after a colon note page number, for example: (Dobkin de Rios 2009: 171), (Бахтин 1965: 105).

2) If you refer to more than one of the same author’s publications which were published in the same year, then add Roman alphabet letters (a, b, c) after the year for example: (Леви-Стросс 1994а: 56).

3) If the reference source has no author, then the author should write in brackets the first words of the book title, the year followed by a colon and the number of the quoted page: (AAA Annual Report 2014: 26).

4) If the reference source has more than two authors, the reference should be formatted in the following way:

– for texts in Russian  (Чурикова, Иванов и др. 2013: 27);

– for texts in other languages (Ross, Olson et al. 2003: 824).

5) While citing several resources, do NOT separate them with a semi-colon (Леви-Стросс 1994а; Бурдье 2001).

6) When referring to several publications of the same author, his/her name should not be repeated, while the years of publication are separated by a comma and a spacebar (Батьянова 1987, 2005).

7) If the author does not know the year of publication, he/she should write ‘n/a’, or ‘in print’ for texts accepted for publication: (Ivanov n/a) and (Petrov in print).

8) Range of pages and dates should be given through en dash: 99–102, 1985–1990.

9) Numbers in ranges of pages should be indicated fully: 124–128, not 124–28.

At the end of the text the author should put ‘References’ where he/she lists in the alphabetical order all published works he/she refers to in the text of the article.
