Bibliographic references are listed in alphabetical order according to the year of publication.
"For rendering Arabic proper and common names the system of transliteration erlaborated for the Encyclopaedia of Islam (New (2nd) edition) should be used with only two variations:
1. The character qāf is to be represented as q, not as ḳ;
2. In the symbols for the characters thā , djīm, khā’, dhā’, shīn and ghayn two letters (th, dj, kh, dh, sh and gh) are not to be underlined".
Since the journal is going to be placed into international databases, the list of references must be DUPLICATED. After each reference in the list, one must indicate the language of publication in brackets. Non-latin references in the list must be duplicated with transliteration using non-latin symbols. Half-codes (last name of the author and the year of publication) are not used in references. Names of monographs and journals/digests where articles are published must be written in italics. Name of an article must be written in quotes.
If an article is published in a digest or a collective monograph, then insert “In:” before the digest’s name.
Names of periodicals are written in italics and without “In:”.
The transliteration of Russian letters must follow the following rules: я – ia, е – e, ю – iu, э – е, й –i, ы – y, х – kh, ц –ts, ч – ch, ш –sh, щ – shch, ж – zh.
The automatic transliteration is possible, for example, via
http://www.convertcyrillic.com/EncodingInformation.aspx#/
In the left window choose Unicode [Russian], in the right one – ALA-LC (Library of Congress) Romanization without diacritics. Copy the Russian text to the left window, press Convert and get the Latin transliteration in the right window that one can copy and insert into one’s article.
