Publication ethics

The detection of plagiarism in the text sent for review makes it impossible to further cooperate with the author. The journal Sociology of the City accepts for publication original texts containing empirical and theoretical research. By offering a manuscript for publication in a journal, the author guarantees that the article (or parts thereof) has not been published (including in other languages). Simultaneously with the submission of the manuscript to the journal, the text is not offered and will not be offered to any other publication until the issue of its publication in the Sociology of the City is resolved.

Review procedure

An exception is made for texts rejected by the editors as not corresponding to the subject of the journal or editorial policy. Reviewers are experts in specific fields on the subject of the reviewed text.

Annotation to the article and gratitude

The volume of the abstract to the article in Russian and English should be in the range from 150 to 300 words. The abstract should contain information about the purpose of the work and the subject of the author's research, reflect approaches to analysis and the main results of the work. If the work was performed with the involvement of grants or other funding, this must be reflected. Also, if you wish, you can express gratitude to colleagues who are not the authors of the text, but made a significant contribution to its preparation for publication, or any other thanks.

Inline links

The author is obliged to indicate the sources of all quotations, figures and other information given in the article. References to sources are given in the main text in parentheses in the following form: author(s), year of publication: page number cited. Examples: (Habermas, 2008: 14), (Garfinkel, 2002: 156–157), (Heath, Hindmarsh, Luff, 2010). If the manuscript contains references to the works of one author published in the same year, the letters a, b, c, d ... are added to the year of publication (for publications in foreign languages ​​- a, b, c, d ...). When referring to several works of the same author, they are separated by commas. Example: (Harvey, 2002, 2003, 2005).

If there are from one to three authors at the source, they are listed in the inline link separated by commas: (Nyqvist, Nygård, Scharf, 2021). If there are four or more authors, the surname of the first of them is indicated and “et al.”/“et al.” is added to it: (Abalakina-Paap et al., 1999) or (Ilyin et al., 2020) Bibliographic description in the list of references must list all authors.

In the main text, in references to collective works, the first or first few words of the title and, separated by a comma, the year of publication are indicated in brackets. For example, a link to the book Domestic Violence in the History of Russian Everyday Life (XI—XXI centuries) looks like this: (Domestic Violence…, 2012).

Page footnotes

Footnotes are drawn up page by page and numbered in Arabic numerals in order. In addition to clarifying information explaining the provisions expressed in the main text, page footnotes may also contain links to sources of non-scientific information: media materials, legal documents, etc. They are drawn up according to the same principles as bibliographic descriptions from the list of references.

Rules for the design of a bibliographic list

The List of References contains only sources of scientific information. Media materials, legal documents, etc. are mentioned in the footnotes. The list of literature should contain only those sources that the author referred to in the text of the article.

Sources are arranged in alphabetical order. Sources in Russian follow first, then in foreign languages. If you refer to several works of the same author (or group of authors), then indicate them in the list in chronological order.
