    6. It is not permitted to place designation unit next to the formula that shows the dependence between values or between their numerical values in the form of letters.

  • REFERENCES is given below the main text of the article, after the "Break section (on the current page)." Its are performed in a single column on the page width. The references in the text are placed in square brackets ([1]). The reference list is made in the following order: first, all references in the Cyrillic alphabet from A to Z, then all the Latin alphabet (A ... Z), presented in alphabetical order. Then this list is numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals.

    Each reference record is according to "State Standard 7.1:2006. The standards system on information, librarianship and publishing. The bibliographic record. The bibliographic description. General requirements and rules", which is valid from 01.07.2007.

    Separately, the REFERENCES are done, according to the Harvard style, that does not have stringent canonical requirements for the composition and have a conventional recommender character. Each university chooses for itself. Thus, REFERENCES in journals of different universities have basically a similar design, but the details may differ greatly!

    REFERENCES for "Construction, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering", "Physical Metallurgy and Heat Treatment of Metals" and "Prydniprovij Engineering Science of News" are made as follows:

    There is the tranlating of authors (initials are placed on the right, between the point of the name letter and surname letter the space is not put [Shparber M.E.,]), surname and initials are written in transliteration in the beginning. If there are no authors, it is indificated an editor. If there is more than one author before the last author instead of "," is written the word "end". After the last author and his initials is set ".", are written the transliterated name of the article, journals, books (in the general reference) in italics.

After "." in the end in "()" is written the original language of the article. (Stroitelstvo, materialovedenie, mashinostroenie - [Construction, materials science, mechanical engineering]. PDABA Dnipropetrovsk, 2013, no. 69, pp. 242-246. (in Ukrainian).)

    There are four types of dash: dash (long) «—»; short (average) dash «–», minus; «–» and dash «-».
