Citation

The editorial board of the publishing department of the Institute of Ethnography SASA has chosen to utilize the Chicago bibliographic format of references, which has two variants: notes and bibliography and author-date. The Bulletin of the Institute of Ethnography SASA requires the use of the author-date variant.

The following examples illustrate citations using the author-date system. Each example of a reference list entry (Ref) is accompanied by an example of a corresponding parenthetical citation in the text (T). For more details and more examples one can consult the printed or online edition of The Chicago Manual of Style:  https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-2.html.  References in the list and in the text should always be in Latin script. The list should be organized in alphabetical order. Even when the original reference is written in Cyrillic or some other script, it is recommended to use the ISO 09 standard for transliteration.

The page number is obligatory in parenthesis, except when the author particularly refers to the whole source (book, chapter, article), or if there are no page numbers (e.g. when citing online materials that do not have pages).

If you want to cite the article in the reference list, you can do that in the following manner:

Citing several sources at the same time

When you cite several sources in the same parenthesis use semicolon for separation. The order of references can be either chronological, or by importance.

(Т): (Đorđević 1997, 129; Prošić-Dvornić 2006, 101–103)

Consecutive citation from the same source

If the same source is cited several times consecutively in the text, the reference is cited after each citation.

(T): Pojam nasilja često se vezuje za pojam agresivnosti, ali se autori ne slažu oko toga kakva je priroda njihove veze (Nedeljković 2011a, 68). Moguće je napraviti više tipologija agresivnosti (Nedeljković 2011a, 69). Erih From, na primer, u funkcionalnom smislu razlikuje dva tipa agresije svojstvene gotovo svim životinjskim vrstama: odbrambenu i grabežljivu agresiju (Nedeljković 2011a, 78).

Web site

The title of webpage might be integrated in the text (“As of April 1st 2022, webpage of the Museum of Belgrade City Museum...”). The other option is to put the author and the page in parenthesis. For a source that does not list a page, the author and the date is relevant. If the author is not mentioned, the title of the website and the date of the publication (last revision) is mentioned. For a source that mentions neither the author nor the date, use the website name and n.d. (no date). 

Reference list requires either the date of publiction or the last revision of the website content. If not, use the date when the website was accessed. However, when a website is referenced in the text, it is not necessary to repeat it in the list.

If the other is not mentioned, the title of the website is used:

(T): (Etnološko-antropološko društvo Srbije 2017)

Blog entries or comments may be cited in running text (“In a comment posted by Nebojša Milenković on Blog B92 on November 18 2011 . . .”), and they are commonly omitted from a reference list.

(T): (Milenković 2011)

 

E-mail or text message

E-mail and text messages may be cited in running text (“In a text message to the author on February 29, 2008 . . .”), and they are rarely listed in a reference list. If it is necessary for them to be included in the reference list, one should state the name of the message’s author, the type of message and its date. In parenthetical citations, the term personal communication (or pers. comm.) can be used.
