Requirements for the design of literary sourcesestablishes GOST 7.1-2003. This is the main regulatory document in force in Russia. At the same time, it is necessary to study extremely carefully how it is better to arrange one or another source. Indeed, in this case, everything will depend on what constitutes a specific resource, how many authors worked on its creation, and how much of the book or magazine was involved in the design of a specific work. Therefore, deciding to issue a list of references in the term paper, be sure to read this document.
It is worth paying attention that directly inthe text of the work necessarily refers to a specific source, or rather indicates its sequence number in the list of references, which is traditionally given in all works after the conclusion. It is also necessary to specify the page number from which specific information was taken. Therefore, when doing a literary review, be sure to carefully note where and when you took certain data. This will greatly simplify the later design of the essay or course work. After all, here, regardless of the student’s specialty, there is always a list of references. It is especially important to do this when writing a research paper. Here the rules for the design of the list of references must be observed especially carefully. After all, the accuracy of the information you receive and the significance of the work as a whole will depend on this.
It should be noted that the rules of registration listliterature allow two possible options for numbering sources. The first and most common is the way in which the sequence number is assigned in accordance with the sequence of appearance of references in the text. If this option is inconvenient for the design of a particular work, then all sources can be arranged in alphabetical order. However, it is worth considering that in this case the linking will have to be performed at the very last moment, as in the case of the appearance of new data, it is likely that the existing numbering will have to be corrected. The most important thing here is not to get confused, as very often when defending a term paper or a thesis, commission members check the link to the source with the information contained in the text of the protected work. And since all of them are specialists in this field, they are most likely well aware of what the particular book is about and will be able to control a student who has violated the rules for creating a list of references.
Mentioned above GOST 7.1-2003 is mandatory. However, in individual academic institutions may issue its own regulatory document, the so-called enterprise standard. That's it, he often sets the rules for registration of coursework. Therefore, before you begin to arrange the work, you should definitely check with the supervisor the availability of this document. If this is absent, then the rules for the design of the list of references and works in general will meet the requirements of GOST, which are valid throughout the country.
