Attention! Due to inclusion of the journal into some international bibliography and reference databases, the References of publications should be prepared in two blocks: LITRATURE and REFERENCES (this requirement is also eligible for publications in English):

1. LITRATURE – sources of reference in Ukrainian, prepared in accordance with the Ukrainian standard of bibliography description (Form # 23, approved by the Decree of the State Certification Committee of Ukraine from March 3, 2008 ¹147). Based on VAK.in.ua (http://vak.in.ua) you can quickly, easily and automatically prepare your «LITERATURE» list.
2. REFERENCES – the same list of references transliterated into English (guidelines of international bibliographic standard APA-2010, guidelines of transliterated references at the website section for authors).

The titles of periodic journals in Ukrainian and Russian languages (journals, collectio- ns, etc.) are given in the transliterated form (guidelines of Ukrainian transliteration: decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine from 27 of January,  2010 ¹55, The Government Couri-  er from 10.02.2010 ¹ 5), while they should be accompanied with English translation in brackets. http://www.slovnyk.ua/services/translit.php.
When citing the Journal «Demography and Social Economy», the authors should refer to the transliterated form of the Journal’s name – Demohrafiia ta sotsialna ekonomika.
The references (no more than 15 works) are placed in accordance with the order of citing over the text. To simplify the procedure of citing references in accordance with the requirements of the State Certification Commission of the Ministry of Education of Ukraine, you could use the on-line resource for making automatic references: http://vak.in.ua.
The Journal «Demography and Social Economy» is classified with DOI index since 2009. All manuscripts are subjects for internal and external review by the members of the

GUIDELINES OF MAKING THE REFERENCES IN THE ENGLISH TRANSLITERATION

We recommend the next approach to structuring bibliographic references in the article: authors’ surname and name (transliterated), a title of publication in the transliterated form and translation into English in the brackets [ ], reference in the transliterated form and its translation into English in the brackets [ ], output data with English specifications, or only digital data (depending on the used standard).
There is a detailed description of making the References at the web-site: http//www.dse.org.ua. A free program of transliteration of Ukrainian texts is available at the web-site: http://www.slovnyk.ua, while transliteration of Russian texts is available at: http://www.translit.ru.
