Mentioning origins and listing the literature

Ideas from the works of other authors should be highlight in the text, not in notes. If you set someone else's ideas, information, results, hypotheses and so forth, and if it is not verbatim quotes, the source is put in brackets and contains authors surname; if in the literature there are several authors with same surname, it should include even the initial, e.g. (Ogorec, 1994.) or (T.N. Dupuy, 1994.). If one work is done by two authors, put both names, for example, (Bešker and Kugler, 1992.). If there are three or more authors, behind the name of first one we put the abbreviation <<et al.>>, <<et alii>> and the rest of the authors we do not state, for example (Tetloct et al., 1991.). If the list of literature referred to several works of the same author published the same year, we divide them by letters (a, b, c, etc.) that are behind the year labels, e.g. (Giddens, 1989b.). If the works of other authors are quoted literally, behind the year label place colon and page number, e.g. (Clausewitz, 1989.: 722). If the alleged anonymous works, take from the title specific words, usually the first or first two (in italic letters) and put year label of releases, for example (Službovnik, 1992.:6) or (Rule brigade, 1984.) or instead the names of the authors put three stars, and then add the first or the first two words from the title and year, for example (*** Obrednik, 1992.) or (*** " Food shortage ", 1994.).

Lists and quotes from the daily, weekly, and similar printing intended for general audience can be cited in two ways. In the event of citing the alleged news, published documents or data, so texts in which authorship is not noted or is unknown, in italic letter state the name and date of print editions, e.g. (Vjesnik, 22.XI.1995.) or (New York Times, 3.V.1991.). If citing exactly authoring articles and lists of their thesis (e.g. comments, columns, etc.), information about the source are placed into the list of literature and the state as well as other articles, for example (Višnar, 1993.). States from the web pages are cited in the same way as the works from the print media.

Notes that are used for additional explanations, comments, or digression, are indicated in the text with the number, and are set out below the line on the page on which are marked (notes below the line, footer, footnotes).

List of references (bibliography) contains all the works referred to in the text and listed in alphabetical order by surnames of authors (or with the names if there are multiple authors with the same surname). Works from the same author referred to chronological order of publication. If claiming more works the same author published the same year, they are different letters behind the label of year of publishing (Weber 1918, Weber 1918b, etc.). In italic letters are written book titles and names of magazines and periodic publications, the titles of articles in periodic are placed in quotation marks. Materials from the internet and web pages are set out in the literature in the same way as a printed source (author, year, title) but with added Internet address (<<can be find on URL http://...>>), and if possible date of accessing the site.
