How to Refer to Sources

1. 1. In-text reference

• In-text references should be arranged between two arcs as follows: (Afshar, 1975, vol. 2, p. 200)

In-text reference method: author's last name, comma, year of publication, comma, letter "ج" )v) and volume number [if the work has multiple volumes], comma, letter "P”(ص) , page number.

• In in-text references, if the exact same previous source (i.e. the same author but on a different page) is referenced (i.e., no new source is mentioned between the two references), the word "ibid" (همان) is used instead of repeating the name of that source; For example, in the example of "Afshar", as follows: (ibid., p. 49). Even if the exact same page from the same source is referred to, it is sufficient to mention the word "ibid" inside the parenthesis: (ibid). Of course, the words "ibid" (همان) and "ibidem" (همان­جا) are used only within the scope of one page, and on the next page, if necessary, the original name appears again.

   - If another work by the same author (with a different year of publication) is immediately referred to, avoid mentioning the word "ibid" and treat it as a new independent source; That is, "Mention the name of the author + the year of publication": Example: (Afshar 1965, p. 70);

   - If an author has two or more works in a single year, letters of the alphabet are used to distinguish them. Example: (Salehi 2001 A, p. 38) and (Salehi 2001 B, p. 110).

• In-text references to non-Persian (Latin) sources are also done exactly in the same way as Persian sources; with the difference that "ibid" is used instead of "همان".

2. 2. Referring to the final sources

• In the final reference list of the article, the list of articles and other works should not be separated from the list of books;
• Bibliographical information of Persian and Arabic sources (book/authored work, translated work, article, thesis, manuscripts and documents, encyclopedias and proceedings, and websites) and Latin (with separation of Latin sources from Persian and Arabic sources) in alphabetical order in the end of the article is arranged as follows (it is worth mentioning that, for the ease of the authors' work, in each section, examples (patterns) are given first, then the explanatory form/bibliographic style of the work, and finally some principles and notes are given):

1. a) Book

Example: Hasanli, Kavous (2012), Types of Innovation in Contemporary Iranian Poetry, Tehran, Nashr-e Thaleth.

Another example: Dehkhoda, Ali- Akbar (1982), Amthal va Hekam, vol. 3, Tehran, Amir Kabir.

Book bibliography method: author's last name, author's name (year of publication), book name in italics (Iranian iranic), book subtitle between two brackets, volume number [for multi-volume books], place of publication, publisher's name.

- In mentioning the names of old authors, their famous names and what is written on the book cover or title page are the criteria;

- It is necessary to mention the subtitle of the books and it is written inside the brackets and with non-itanic/Iranian non-iranic letters;

- In the name of the publisher, the word "publisher" or "publications" is not mentioned; Except for the publishers whose names include the mentioned words, such as "Nashr-e Thaleth" and "Nashr-e Markaz" and "Nashr-e Ney".

Bibliographic method of the translated book: author's last name, author's name (year of publication), book name in italics, translator's name and surname, place of publication, publisher's name.

Bibliography style of a single-author article: author's last name, author's name (year of publication), article name in quotation marks, name of the journal in italics (Iranian iranic), year/period of the journal, journal number (with the abbreviation "No.” (ش) + serial number inside bow, month/season of publication, beginning and end page of the article.

Bibliographic method of a two/three-author article: first author's last name, comma, first author's name, vav-e Ataf"و" (and),+ second and third author's first and last name [+ rest of the bibliographic components of the article].

-If the number of authors of the article is more than three, it is enough to mention the name of the first author and after that in Persian articles “"و دیگرانare used and in English articles (et al.).
