Differences between footnote and bibliography:

• For the footnotes: we will first write the surname, then the author’s name, and page numbers must be indicated.
• For the bibliography: we will first write the name, then the surname of the author, and the indication of pages is required only for articles published in journals or chapters in books.

Titles:

• Titles of books, articles, etc. should be written first in the original language and then translated into English and placed in square brackets (ex: Alin Popescu, Introducere în sociologie [Introduction in sociology] …).
• For books: title is in italics Alin Popescu, Introducere în sociologie [Introduction in sociology] …
• For chapters in books: chapter title in quotation marks and book title in italics (ex: Alin Popescu, “Sociologia. Definiții și teorii” [“Sociology. Definitions and theories”] … in Alin Popescu, Introducere în sociologie [Introduction in sociology] …).
• Articles (in journals or online): title in quotation marks “Sociologia. Definiții și teorii” [“Sociology. Definitions and theories”] …

op. cit.: is used to quote a single paper of an author; first enter the complete source, and then use op. cit. plus the page/pages; is used if other sources of the others authors have been inserted before this reference.

Idem/Eadem: is used if the author is the same as in the previous note, but is cited with another work; Idem/Eadem replace only the author’s name.

Ibid.: is used when there are consecutive references to the same author and the same work: Ibid., p/pp.

In Romanian the quotation marks are: „ …” (These will be used in the footnotes when the quotations are in Romanian). If we have quotation marks within quotation marks, we will proceed as follows: „« … »”.

In English the quotation marks are: “…”. If we have quotation marks in quotation marks, we proceed as follows: “this is our ‘house’ for today”.
