In the case of references to chapters in a book, articles that are part of a collective work and journal articles, the first and last page of the work must be cited in full.

For editing and indexing purposes, it is extremely important to provide complete information in all bibliographical references (author, year, title, city and publisher). These references are to be listed at the end of the article and should be cited in a footnote within the text, pursuant to the order in which the citations appear therein. When citing a work published in a foreign language, the author's name, the title of the book, the city and the publisher are listed in the original language. Possible additional literature not mentioned in the text should be listed in keeping with the rules for references, unnumbered and in alphabetical order, according to the surname of the first author.

All references must be complete.  This is indispensable. Otherwise, the article will not be sent for peer review and will be returned immediately to the author so the references can be perfected. Inaccuracies or errors in references can halt the publishing process for an article.
