Each article must contain a bibliography listing all references mentioned in the article, according to APA 7th Edition (https://apastyle.apa.org/).

The “Bibliography/References” section begins with Russian-language sources, the title of each one is translated into English and duplicated under the original (see example below). It is necessary to use the translation of the names of Russian-language journals that was recommended by the publications themselves (for example, Sociological Review = Russian Sociological Review). The names of foreign authors in article translated into Russian should not be transliterated, but written in original language (for example, Weber, not Veber). The title of a book, magazine or collection should be written in italics.
