Rules for publicity

When writing a publication in English, one should take into account the established spelling tradition and follow the so-called capitalization rules[1] - writing certain words with a capital letter:

 

The first and the last words of the title and all other words except the following are capitalised.

These words - unless they are the first or last word in the title or follow a colon, ellipsis or an opening parenthesis - are written with a lowercase letter:

 

The articles: a, an, the;

 

conjunctions: and, but, nor, or;

 

prepositions shorter than five letters: as, at, by, for, from, in, into, like, of, off, on, onto, out, over (but: All Over), till, to, unto, up, upon, with.

 

Exceptions.

 

The articles in names are capitalized if they:

 

- At the beginning of a sentence, or after a colon or a ellipsis: Hemingway: A Biography; Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man;

 

- are a traditional compound part (first word) of another title - usually from the field of literature or art: With The Beatles (but: New Genres in the Twelfth Century).

 

Prepositions in titles are capitalised if they:

 

- are at the beginning or end of a sentence, or after a colon, ellipsis or opening parenthesis;

 

- have five or more letters: About, Across, After, Among, Beyond...;

 

- are a part of the following sentence-union combinations: By and By, Down and Out, In or Out, On and On, Over and Over, Up and Down, Up or Out, etc.;

 

- are part of phrasal verbs: Act Out, Add In, Add On, Add Up, Ask In, Ask Out, Ask Over, Ask Up, Back Up, Beat Up, Bend Back, Bend Up, Bind Down, Bind Off, Bind Over, Bind Up, Block In, Block Off, Block Out, Block Up, Bring About, Bring Off, Bring Out, Bring Up, Carry Out, Clear Away, Clear Off, Clear Out, Clear Up, Cool Down, Cool Off, Come By, Come In, Come Off, Come On, Come Out, Come Over, Come Up, Cover Over, Cover Up, Deal Out, Divide Up, Draw Back, Draw Down, Draw In, Draw Off, Draw Out, Draw Up, Dry Off, Dry Out, Drive In, Drive Off, Drive Out, Eat Away, Eat Up, Factor Out, Figure Out, Find Out, Fish Out, Fish Up, Fit In, Follow Up, Get In, Get Out, Get On, Get Out, Get Up, Give Away, Give Back, Give In, Give Out, Give Over, Give Up, Hand Back, Hand Down, Hand In, Hand On, Hand Out, Hand Over, Hang In, Hang On, Hang Out, Hang Over, Hang Up, Keep In, Keep Off, Keep On, Keep Out, Lead In, Leave In, Leave Out, Level Down, Level Off, Level Out, Line Up, Live Down, Live Out, Look Over, Look Up, Make Out, Make Over, Make Up, Mark Down, Mark Off, Mark Up, Move In, Move Out, Paper Out, Point Out, Point Up, Pump In, Pump Off, Pump Out, Pump Up, Put On, Read Over, Read In, Read Out, Read Off, Reason Out, Rule Out, Save Up, Send Away, Send Back, Send Down, Send Out, Show In, Show Off, Show Out, Show Up, Sleep Off, Slice Away, Slice Open, Slice Off, Slow Down, Slow Up, Smooth Away, Smooth Back, Smooth Down, Smooth Off, Smooth Out, Space Out, Split Away, Split Off, Split Up, Stop Up, Store Up, Strip Away, Strip Off, Switch Off, Switch On, Take Away, Take Off, Take Out, Take Up, Think Out, Think Over, Try On, Try Out, Turn Down, Turn Off, Turn On, Turn Over, Use Up, Wash Away, Wash Down, Wash Off, Weigh Down, Work Off, Work Out, Work Over, Write Down, Write In, Write Out, Write Up, etc.

 

The words Also, If, Than, That, Thus and When are always capitalised.

 

 

A list of all references used or cited in the study should be placed at the end of each paper and a full description should be given.

 

The list is divided into two sections Sources and References. If it is not possible to divide it into these two parts, it is called LIBRARY. When manuscripts and archival material are used, the SOURCES section may be preceded by a separate list of MANUFACTURES and ARCHIVE MATERIALS.

 

The bibliographic descriptions are not numbered.

 

The list should be sorted alphabetically by the author's surname from A in Latin to I in Russian.

 

A non-breaking space between the author's initials (Ctrl+Shift+Space)

 

I. Monographs. The author's surname and initials in italics; the title of the work; a colon (a space is not put before this colon) and the subtitle (if any); a colon (a space is put before this colon) and the type of publication (if necessary); oblique stroke, responsibility (with a capital letter), initials and family name of the publisher (editor or translator) if any; full stop; issue number; place of publication; colon; publisher's name; comma; year of publication, full stop; next (if a series), in parentheses series name; colon; number in series; full stop.
