b) Referral method
Citations are followed based on localization of the MLA documentation method. The insertion of these references is also in the context of the text and is placed immediately after quoting the material and between the parentheses, and the name of the author's city, the name of the work, the cover and the desired page are expressed according to this pattern: (Tabatabai, Al-Mizan, 35/1). Whenever multiple references are given in a row, the different sources are listed in the text of the article according to the year of their creation or the year of the death of their authors, and separated by semicolons. For example, we write inside the reference parenthesis: (Ibn Hajar Asqlani, Al-Asaba, 4/126; Tabatabaei, Al-Mizan, 1/35). Also, sources that are in Latin languages and other languages, the name of the author and the work are transliterated inside the Persian text, and if the author or the work is unknown to the Persian-speaking readers of the magazine, the title of the author or the work or both is given in the footnote, and the cover and page number It is also inserted with Roman letters and Latin numbers respectively; For example, we write in the text: (Nöldeke, History of the Qur'an, II/154) and then insert the footnote number in front of the translation of the name of the work, and in the footnote we also add: "Nöldeke, Geschichte des Qorâns"
; Or if we want to refer to a Latin article in the text, for example: (Shacht, "Malik b. Anas". Even if the name of the author and the work are not written in Latin, the reader knows from the Latin numbers that he sees in the Persian text that he should look for the details of the work in Latin sources. Latin and similar sources are included after Persian and Arabic sources.
References in the final sources of the article are as follows: author details (author's town name, author's name), work details (book name in bold and italics or article name in quotation marks, commas, name of the book or journal containing that article in bold and italics) The details of the translator or proofreader of the work (exactly with this template: Ahmad Aram's translation, or Ali Akbar Ghafari's effort), and at the end, the publication details (place of publication, publisher, year of publication, or serial number and edition of the magazine). Also, references are listed in alphabetical order. For example:
- Hosseini, Mohammad Reza, "The subject of bodies and bodies", Trathna, 10th year, number 19, spring 1410 AH.
- Siyuti, Abdurrahman bin Abi Bakr, Bughiyyah al-Wooat, with the efforts of Muhammad Abolfazl Ibrahim, Beirut/Sida, Al-Maktaba al-Asriya, 1964.
The names of authors and books should be recognized based on the way the author is mentioned in most of the works or by referring to books and encyclopedias, and the title on the back cover of the work is not necessarily correct. For example, the name of Ashhar Muhammad Hassan Najafi is "Saheb Jawahar", or although the author of the book of jurist Man La Yahzorah al-Faqih is also known as "Sheikh Sadouq" in the later centuries, his name is Ashhar and the recording of works such as the great Islamic encyclopedia "Ibn Babwiyeh", and the name of Ashhar The book itself is also mine.
