A Russian GOST reference list: rules, templates and examples
Russian universities format reference lists to GOST R 7.0.100-2018. A book by one to three authors reads “Surname, I. O. Title : type / I. O. Surname. – City : Publisher, year. – 320 p. – ISBN …”; a journal article is joined to its journal with a double slash; a website needs “URL:” and the access date.
