A representative list of literature characterizes the relevance and qualitative level of research conducted by the author. These recommendations are compiled in accordance with global trends and contribute to greater openness of scientific publications as well as improve the performance of articles and their authors in databases.
Recommendations on completeness and representativeness
- Volume. It is recommended to include references to scientific articles, monographs, collections of articles, conference proceedings, electronic resources indicating the date of application, patents in the list of references. The recommended volume of the list of references is 20–40 sources, for short communication is 8–10 sources, not counting hard-to-access and regulatory sources, as well as links to Internet resources that are not scientific periodicals. Hard-to-access sources include reports, albums of standard solutions and other similar sources that are not available in the catalogues of the leading Russian depository libraries (GPSTB, RNB, RSE). Regulatory sources are understood as laws, GOST standards, SNiPs, joint ventures, as well as their foreign counterparts. Internet resources are websites on the Internet that publish information without scientific review. It is recommended to mention hard-to-reach and regulatory sources in the text of the article. We strongly recommend that you do not include references to textbooks, teaching aids, lecture notes and other educational literature in the list of references.
- Relevance. For a representative review of the literature, it is necessary that the sources are relevant. We recommend that you have at least 8 publications published in the last 10 years in the list of references, 6 of them are no older than 3 years. So that at least 6 of the foreign and at least 6 of the Russian sources are included in one of the leading citation indexes (Web of Science, Scopus, RSCI).
- Geography. According to the requirements of the journal, the literature review should confirm the absence of a solution to the set goal in world literature, and therefore we recommend that you have not only Russian but also foreign publications in the list of references. The recommended volume is at least half of the total number of sources in the list of references.
- Self-citation. The permissible number of publications of authors and co-authors of an article in the reference list should be no more than 10%.
Requirements for the list formating
The correctly written description of the source is a guarantee that the cited publication will be taken into account when assessing the author's scientific activity and, as a consequence, the organization. It is highly appreciated to use DOI if it is available.
General recommendations
· Please use this style for formatting references. References are formatted as follows: Author A.A., Author B.B., Author C.C. Title of article. Title of journal, 2005, vol. 10, no. 2, pp. 49-53. DOI: 10.18721/JCSTCS.10112
· Non-latin sources that have no translation into English are transliterated in the English-language reference list, with an approximate English translation given in square brackets. Sources are transliterated in accordance with the Library of Congress system (ALA-LC). (References are transliterated automatically once the manuscript is uploaded into the E-submission system).
· References are given at the end of the text and in the order they appear in the text. Each reference number is enclosed in square brackets. The number of citations in the text should correspond to the number of sources in the reference list.
· References to unpublished work are not allowed.
