Formatting of Russian and English reference lists

All items in non-Latin script in the English reference list should be transliterated. The English translation of transliterated items is not necessary. For transliterating please use the website http://translit.net/, the transliteration system is LC. If the author’s name in already existing foreign publication(s) is spelt differently than in LC transliteration system, the already existing spelling should be preserved in order to avoid confusion.
