REFERENCE LIST

 In accordance with APA style recommendations, the list of references is placed on a separate page at the end of the scientific work. This is an informational part that allows you to get the necessary primary source at any time, find it and use the data. Each source mentioned in the text is reflected in the bibliographic list and vice versa.

The reference list is directly a list of used sources. The formatting involves placing the title in the centre in ordinary print without inverted commas. Double line spacing is used for the entire volume of such material.

Cited material is given:

- in alphabetical order by the surname of the author or, in his absence, of the editor, compiler;

- by the first letter of the title, if the material has no author;

- in chronological order by the year of publication, if the scientific work several sources of authorship of one and the same person.

Each bibliographic description of the source begins on a new line, aligned to the width without indentation. That is, how many sources, so many items of bibliography. If the description of one item occupies several lines, the first of them is aligned width-wise, without indentation, and the subsequent lines are 1.25 cm.
