References (see the Reference format file and Manuscripts' formatting and publication guidelines of the “Geosystems of Transition Zones” Journal)
A representative list of references demonstrates the professional horizon and the qualitative level of research.
The list of references does not include:
• textbooks;
• articles from nonscientific journals;
• normative and legal acts;
• statistical compendiums and archives;
• electronic nonpublished sources (online articles, newspaper and any other news sources, reports and various researches on websites, sites of institutions and organizations);
• dictionaries, encyclopedias, other handbooks;
• reports, notes, protocols.
The indicated sources are made out in the form of inline links in parentheses or in the form of page footnotes at the bottom of the page.
Subject to the requirements of international citation systems, references should be adapted for automatic processing in order to identify the links. The machines do not read Russian-language (in Cyrillic) references, so the Journal publishes bibliographic lists not only in the original language, but also in the Latin alphabet. References are compiled by the editors on the basis of the lists given in the manuscript, so they must be clear and accurate. All sources should be easily found by means of search engines (Google, Yandex, etc.)
Important: In accordance with international publication ethics, we strongly recommend the authors to observe self-citation level of no more than 20% (in the reference list).
