When citing a work or a source in a footnote the following (abbreviated) format is used: author's surname, a short title of the cited work (written in italics, it should not exceed three words), and page number (abbreviated) (i.e. Grafenauer, Mesto Simona Rutarja, p. 11). The same format is used for the citing of archival, published, and online sources.
Alphabetical listing of all references should be placed at the end of the text, with sources (archival, published, oral, newspaper, etc.) and literature listed separately (titles of each type of references should be written in lowercase letters, bold). Within each reference type, material should be listed alphabetically according to the surname of the author (editor, fund, etc.); several works of the same author should be listed chronologically. The listing of references should contain only complete citations of cited works or material:

• Archival sources: archive name, fund name, and (when necessary) number of fi le storage folder or box.
• Monographs: author's surname and name, title of monograph (and subtitle) in italics. Title of the series in which the monograph has been published (when necessary). Place of publication: publisher, date (i.e. Gestrin, Ferdo, Slovenske dežele in zgodnji kapitalizem. Ljubljana: Slovenska matica, 1991.).
• Articles: author's surname and name: title of article. Title of periodical or miscellany (in italics); in case of periodicals, the title should be followed by volume number, date, cited page(s) (i.e. Grafenauer, Bogo, Mesto Simona Rutarja v slovenski historiografi ji. Goriški letnik 3, 1976, pp. 9–19.). In an edited miscellany the title of the article should be followed by: (surname and name of editor – when necessary). Title of miscellany. Place of publication, date, cited page(s) (i.e. Janša-Zorn, Olga: Turizem v Sloveniji v času med vojnama (1918–1941). Razvoj turizma v Sloveniji. Zbornik referatov. Ljubljana, 1996, pp. 78–95.).
