5. THE RULES OF SCIENTIFIC CITATION IN KAZNMU
NAMED AFTER S.D. ASFENDIYAROV
• An obligatory component of any scientific work is scientific citation. In scientific
works, references are made to sources from which materials or individual results
are borrowed, or on ideas and conclusions, which are developed problems, tasks,
questions, the study of which is devoted to the work. Such links make it possible
to find relevant sources, check the accuracy of citation, and obtain the necessary
information about these sources (its content, language, volume).
6. THE USE OF BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES IN
SCIENTIFIC PAPERS IS MANDATORY AND IS USED
IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
• when quoting fragments of text, formulas, tables, illustrations;
• when borrowing provisions, formulas, tables, illustrations, etc. not in the form of a
quote;
• with paraphrased, non-verbal reproduction of a fragment of someone else's text;
• when analyzing the content of other publications in the text;
• if necessary, the reader can be referred to other publications where the material under
discussion is given more fully.
• When evaluating the bibliographic apparatus of the work, attention is paid to the
quality of the cited sources. The main requirements for the sources cited in the work
are their authority and relevance to the topic under study. The most authoritative
sources of information for scientific works are the latest scientific articles and
monographs (including foreign ones). When referring to these sources, one should
pay attention to the scientific qualifications of the authors, as well as to the credibility
of the journal in which the article is published.
7. NOTE!
• - If the same material is reprinted several times, then you should refer to its latest edition. Earlier editions
may only be referred to when they contain material that is not included in the latest editions.
• - Citation in scientific papers of educational and reference publications should be limited. You should avoid
references to popular publications, as well as materials whose authorship cannot be established, even if the
information provided in them corresponds to the topic of the scientific work.
• - The quality and authority of a bibliographic source can be determined by its title, information about the
author and publication, as well as by the style of writing and layout of the text.
• - It is not recommended to refer to materials posted on the Internet if they are available in traditional
publications.
• - Indication of a reference to a bibliographic source in a scientific work assumes that the author of the
work personally familiarized himself with this publication and can, if necessary, support a scientific
discussion (when defending a scientific work) about the content of this source.
• - When using theoretical provisions, ideas, proofs, research results of other authors in scientific work, it is
necessary to provide links to authors and sources of information provided.
• - When borrowing graphic materials (tables, diagrams, figures, photographs, etc.) from the works of other
authors, as well as experimental data (including primary raw materials), a link to the information source is
required!
• - When writing a scientific work, there are cases when it is necessary to draw the reader's attention to a
large section of literary sources, it is not possible to cite references to which in the work due to their large
number. Such cases are separately discussed in the text of the work, a link is given to the latest or most
famous works on the topic, and the reader is recommended, if desired, to turn to an independent review of
the remaining sources.
8. FOR A COMPETENT DESIGN IN SCIENTIFIC WORK OF
REFERENCES TO THE WORK OF OTHER AUTHORS, THE
FOLLOWING RULES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SHOULD BE ADHERED TO:
• 1) When referring to other authors, you should indicate not only the surname, but also the initials
of the author. This recommendation is often ignored in educational and scientific literature, so you
can find references to authors without specifying initials. If in a student work an author is cited
from a secondary source, which does not indicate his initials, information about the author can be
found in the list of references of the secondary source or found in other sources (for example, on
the Internet).
• 2) In scientific texts, it is customary to indicate the initials of the cited authors before the surname,
and not after it.
• 3) When citing references to other authors in the work, one should pay attention to the gender of
the cited author and the correct declension of his surname (even in educational publications there
are often mistakes associated with the incorrect use of surnames).
• 4) When quoting, make sure not to confuse the cited author with a well-known namesake and not
to cite twice the researcher who changed his last name or took a pseudonym.
• 5) Most often, mistakes are made when women-scientists are mentioned in the works, whose
surnames and initials do not allow us to draw a conclusion about gender.
• 6) In scientific works, the most common type of citation is indirect citation, or paraphrase.
9. PARAPHRASE
• Paraphrase is a retelling of a quote (usually a small fragment) in your own words with a mandatory
link to the source of the citation. When presenting information in your own words, distortion of the
original meaning of the text is not allowed.
• Without reference to the source or verbatim copying without quotation marks, the text is plagiarism.
• The use of a paraphrase in scientific work is irreplaceable in the following cases:
• - original quotes are too voluminous for direct quotation;
• - it is necessary to provide generalized information with simultaneous reference to several sources;
• - it is necessary to briefly outline the content of the theoretical concept or the procedure and
research results referred to in the work.
• It is also recommended to use a paraphrase when citing works in a foreign language when the
student is not sure of the quality of the literal translation.
• To confirm your own arguments with a reference to an authoritative source or for a critical analysis of
a particular work of the press, quotations should be cited. Academic etiquette requires accurate
reproduction of the quoted text, since the slightest reduction in the quoted excerpt can distort the
meaning that the author has put into it.
10. GENERAL CITATION REQUIREMENTS
• 1) The text of the quotation is enclosed in
quotation marks and is given in the
grammatical form in which it is given in the
source, while preserving the peculiarities of
the author's spelling.
• 2) Citation should be complete, without
arbitrary reduction of the quoted text and
without distortion of the author's thought.
• 3) When citing, each citation must be
accompanied by a reference to the source, the
bibliographic description of which is given in
accordance with the requirements for the
formatting of the list of sources used.
Note!
- It is not recommended to start
paragraphs with a quotation, as well as to
place one quotation immediately after
another.
- Avoid citations that are unverified or
that contain generally accepted or banal
statements.
Thus, when preparing scientific papers, it
is recommended to refer to the primary
sources of information (monographs,
scientific articles, dissertations, etc.). The
use of secondary sources seems to be
justified, only at the stage of getting to
know the problem of research and
determining the main conceptual and
categorical apparatus of the work.
11. CITING INFORMATION FROM SECONDARY
SOURCES
When citing information from secondary sources in a work, authors most often make two gross
mistakes:
• - cite information as if they themselves found it in the primary source (while the existence of a
secondary source of information is hidden, and bibliographic data of the primary source are
rewritten in student work);
• - cite information as if it belonged to the author of a secondary source (with such citation, on the
contrary, the existence of the primary source of information is hidden, and the work indicates
bibliographic data of the secondary source).
• Both of these errors are equally unacceptable in scientific work. Such citation leads to distortion of
scientific facts and the appropriation of the results of someone else's work. In order to avoid
repeating these mistakes in your works, carefully read the citation rules for secondary sources.
• All citations cited in scientific work must be independently verified against the original sources.
When referring to information that is fundamentally important for the work, it is also advisable to
check this information against the original source, even if it is not a literal quote. Such a check will
allow avoiding duplication of possible mistakes made by other authors when citing the original
source, and will also allow the student to make sure of the correct understanding of the original
author's position and the accuracy of the interpretation of the quoted words.
• Self-familiarization with the quoted texts is also the most important requirement of scientific ethics:
only those texts with which the author is personally familiar can be cited as first-order quotations.
Otherwise, such quotation is considered plagiarism (without referring to the secondary source of the
quotation, the author of the work thereby appropriates the result of the research and analytical work
of another person).
12. CASES WHEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO INDICATE
THE SOURCE
• - The original source is irretrievably lost.
• - The original source is not available or its search is
difficult for objective reasons (for example, it is located in
closed libraries or repositories).
• - The quoted text became known by recording the words
of the author in the memoirs of another person.
• - The original source is written in a rare language,
inaccessible for translation by the author of the work.
• - The quote was found as a result of archival or literary
research by the author of a secondary source (for
example, a successful excerpt from a classic literary work
was selected). If, in this case, the student independently
finds a citation from the specified bibliographic data and
cites it without reference to a secondary source, an
erroneous impression of an independently conducted
archival or literary research may be created. The
quotation is given as an illustration of the argumentation
system of the author who quoted it (in this case, the
interest is not so much the quotation itself as its use in
the text under consideration).
Note!
• When citing a text from a secondary source, it is
necessary to indicate not only the source of the
original text, but also the source from which the
quotation is taken.
• Therefore, it is recommended to mention the source
of the original text and the source from which this text
was taken in the introductory words to the quotation.
In this case, in the list of used sources, the link is given
to the secondary source in which the quote was found.
• The presence in scientific work of references to the
works of foreign authors shows the level of theoretical
development of the problem, indicates the research
activity of the authors. In most cases, the use of foreign
sources is a mandatory requirement for modern
scientific work.
13. MENTION OF FOREIGN SURNAMES AND
INITIALS
• The names of foreign authors are given in the language in which the scientific
work is written. The original spelling of the surname and initials is given in
parentheses. If the work contains a reference to a foreign author widely
known in Russian science, additional spelling of the original name is not
required.
• For the correct use of the surnames and initials of foreign authors, you
should check the tradition of their translation into Russian by referring to
Russian-language publications on similar topics. If the surnames of the
authors have not been previously mentioned in Russian-language sources,
the author's transliteration of the surname and initials should be proposed,
preferably made according to the rules of transliteration of foreign surnames.
Note!
• In the list of sources used, the names of foreign publications, surnames,
initials of authors and other bibliographic information are indicated in the
original language.
14. CITATION OF FOREIGN TERMS
• Foreign terms cited in a scientific work are translated into the language of
the work. When translating foreign terms, you should first check the
tradition of their translation in Russian-language publications. If the
translation is not found or the author of the work seems inaccurate, he can
offer his own version of the translation (at the same time, be sure to
mention the tradition of translating this term in Russian-language studies
and argue for the author's version of the translation).
• If special terms are not well-known or are being translated by the author of
the work for the first time, it is recommended to bring their original
spelling next to the translation in brackets.
15. QUOTING FRAGMENTS OF TEXT FROM
FOREIGN SOURCES
• When citing fragments of the text of foreign sources, citations should be
given in the language of the main text of the work in the author's
translation. If the author is not sure about the correctness of the
translation, it is recommended to use a paraphrase.
• When translating and citing foreign scientific works, it is highly
discouraged to use standard electronic translation tools. In case of any
disputable situations when translating surnames and terms, contact your
supervisor or foreign language teacher for help.
16. SELF-CITATION
• If the work is based on the author's earlier research, the results of which
have been published, it is necessary to provide links to these works in
the work. It is a widespread practice to refer to one's own work and to
list them in the list of used sources. This allows you to avoid self-
plagiarism, duplication of previously published information, and also
allows you to direct the interested reader to familiarize yourself with
other works of the author.
• Self-citation, like citing other authors, must be justified and consistent
with the topic and objectives of the scientific work.
17. CITATION OF LEGISLATIVE AND
DEPARTMENTAL ACTS
CITATION OF WORKS OF FICTION
• Legislative and departmental acts are cited from official publications;
citation from secondary sources is not recommended.
• When citing legislative and departmental acts, make sure that the
citation is carried out according to the latest updates at the time of
writing. Sometimes, expert advice is required to correctly cite such
publications.
• Citation of classical works of fiction is carried out according to the most
authoritative editions of Collected Works, Complete Collected Works, in
which scientific publication of works of fiction is made. If necessary, due
to the topic of the written work (for example, in publications from
publication to publication, the author changed the text of the work, and
in the Collected Works not all versions of the text are given), you can use
the first (lifetime) publications of such works.
18. CHANGE TEXT, COMMENTS, AND
ABBREVIATIONS IN QUOTES
• Despite the strict rule of observance of literalism when citing fragments of
someone else's text, in some cases it is allowed to change the text of the quote.
• Cases in which it is allowed to change the text of a quote:
• - When upgrading the spelling and punctuation of texts published before XX
century.
• - When expanding the abbreviated words of the text into full ones. In this case,
the part of the word, supplemented by the author of the work, is taken in
square brackets. Deployment is only advisable if the reader's understanding of
the quote may be difficult.
• - When changing the case of words in a quote, if the quote is subordinate to
the syntactic structure of the phrase in which they are included.
• - When identifying the found typos and errors in the text of the cited
document. In this case, misprints and mistakes made by the author of the
quotation are not corrected, but after the error a question mark is placed in
