The same rules apply to articles in a foreign language as to a typical journal article, except that:

  1. the author’s name, the title of the article, and the name of the foreign journal are transliterated (spelled using Latin letters) if the article was originally written in a language using a non-Latin alphabet such as Russian, Arabic or Chinese
  2. no comma (" , ") is used after the transliterated title of the book
  3. the transliterated title of the article is immediately followed by its English translation in parentheses (e.g., [Constitutional status and ethnopolitical processes in Scotland in the 1970s and 1980s], as shown in the example above)
  4. no translation is provided for the title of the journal (just its transliteration)
  5. a DOI assigned to the article is provided after a full stop, where applicable.
