The list of works cited appears at the end of the article, under the heading ‘Literature’. The list is alphabetized. It must contain only works cited directly in the paper. Literature must be cited using not numeric but parenthetical citations – by listing the author’s last name and the work’s publication date in parentheses and separating these from the page number with a colon (Degtyarev 2014: 12). When citing a collection of articles, list, in lieu of the author’s last name, either the last name of the collection’s executive editor (or compiler) or one or two words from its title. Likewise, when citing a work whose author or compiler is unknown (e.g., a newspaper item), list one or two words from the beginning of the work’s title (Letters and Telegrams 2009). Abbreviate a name that conveniently lends itself to abbreviation as an acronym. For instance, substituting ACAC for ‘Acts of the Caucasian Archeographic Commission’ will result in ACAC 1881: 55-56. When citing articles or books by two authors, list both authors (Volosnyk, Onatskyi 2016: 36). When citing articles or books by three or more authors, list the first author’s last name followed by ‘et al.’ (Ivanov et al. 2009 or Smith et al. 2001). To differentiate between two or more works by the same author in the same year, add the Latin letters a, b, c, etc., to the publication year (Petrov 2006a), (Petrov 2006b).
