CITATION  AND  BIBLIOGRAPHY  PRINCIPLES

Chicago-style citations in the author-date version are used in the journal “Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae”. The journal uses the Chicago author–date citation style (17th edition). The main reference for in-text citations and the reference list is the Turabian Manual for Writers. Citation Quick Guide. Footnotes may be used for additional explanatory remarks, but not for bibliographic references, which must appear in the reference list. To help authors in arranging the list of cited publications, the editorial team recommends using the Zotero application. Zotero uses Citation Style Language (CSL) to properly format citations and a list of references in many citation styles (Chicago, MLA, APA, Vancouver, etc.).  These tools are only an aid; the journal does not endorse any specific commercial product, and authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all citations and references.

If AI-assisted tools are used to support language editing or formatting, this must be declared in the Acknowledgments section, in accordance with the journal’s AI Policy.

A facility for authors is also a generator of bibliographic items and citations available on the Internet: Free Chicago Style Citation Generator.

When available, DOIs should be included at the end of the reference in the form of a full URL, for example: https://doi.org/10.21697/seb.xxxx.
