The sources are not numbered and are listed alphabetically. The following rules apply to the list of references with Cyrillic characters: authors' names are given in transliteration, and the source name (books, articles, etc.) is in the original language, followed by English brackets. The title of the periodical, monograph or text is italicized. The name of the publisher is given in transliteration (if there is no English version of it); the name of the publisher's location is given completely without abbreviations. Finally, parentheses indicate the language of the edition, for example:

  1. Yung, G. (1991). Архетипы и символы[Archetypes and Symbols]. Moscow: Renessans. (in Russian)
  2. Bondarenko, F. (2014). Этический персонализм. Методическое пособие по психологическому консультирванию, сообразному русской культуре. [Ethical personalism. Methodological manual on psychological counseling, in accordance with Russian culture]. Kyiv: Alfa Reclama. (in Russian)
  3. Bulan, A.A. (2015). Психоемоційні стани комбатантів в умовах бойових дій [Psychoemotional states of combatants in combat situations], Aktualni problemi sotsiologiyi, psihologiyi, pedagogiki, 4(29),9-12. (in Ukrainian);

The links in the text are in parentheses and contain:
author’s name (editor, compiler, etc.; if there are four or more authors, the name of the first one and the abbreviation "et al." or "et al." are given) / comma / space / year of publication. If necessary (in case of direct citation), after the year of publication go: comma / space / "p." In English-language publication / space / page number (or range of pages with reference mark) is put after the year of publication. If you want to link to multiple sources at once, they are separated by a semicolon;
link format sample: (Тейлор, Спенсер, 2013), (Тейлор, 2013; Робінсон, 2017), (Іванова, 2018, с. 214), (Taylor, 2007, pp.17-18);

if there are several works of the same author in one year cited in the article, then in the list of references such sources are given in alphabetical order, and after the year of publication (including in the reference), the corresponding letters of the Latin alphabet should be put, starting with "a" (e.g., 1990a, 1990b, 1990с etc.);
link format sample: (Тейлор, 2013а), (Taylor, 2007c, pp.  47-48);

references to works listed in references without attribution (collections, encyclopedias, etc.) should include the name of the cited publication instead of the author's name; and if the phrase is too large or unacceptable for other reasons, the abbreviation can be introduced in the first citation and described in the note so that later the abbreviation itself is used; notes are provided at the bottom of the page or after the main text before the reference list;
link format sample: (Релігієзнавчий словник*, 1996, сс. 234-235) onwards (РС, 1996, сс. 271-272);

if the publication does not have an author but the author, editor, etc. is listed on the official page, they can be listed instead of the author by resorting to the appropriate APA style markings: (On), (Ed), etc.;

citation should avoid double translation; it is advisable to refer to the originals of the cited foreign-language sources or at least to compare the translations used with those originals.

Illustrations

If the authors submit pictures, charts, or other artwork to illustrate their texts, their overall number should be no more than four. It is not recommended to create charts that consume more than one page of the text. All illustrations are to be numbered. Pictures and charts are numbered irrespectively. (Chart 1. PIC 1.)  Each illustration must have a name (a title). Chart titles are placed above and picture titles – under the illustrations. Illustrations are placed in the text after they are first mentioned.   

All elements of illustration texts, if possible, must be in a font Тimes New Roman.

All illustrations must be accurate and clear. Except for cases when illustrations reproduce the “primary material”, it is not recommended to use scans, internet illustrations, or material from the works of other authors. 

Image fragments created in MS Word are to be grouped together; they should represent one graphic object. If the images are created in Excel, they should be sent along with the manuscript text in a separate file.

Formulas are created with the help of the built-in equation editor MS Equation and are numbered on the right side.
