1 There exists a certain number of citation standards such as MLA style (the Modern Language Association Method) APA style (American Psychology Association style), The Columbia Style, etc. In this book we use APA style as the one of the most commonly used standards. If you want to know more about this style or are asked to use APA style, the book to consult is the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6^th edition). It contains guidelines for every aspect of writing, especially in the social sciences (e.g. how to avoid plagiarism, construct accurate reference citations, etc.).

2 There exist different traditions in presenting structural elements of the university. In particular, such one as a faculty, department, chair. In our book the widest notion is a faculty with a dean as a head of it. Different departments train students in different professions and specialization. Chairs organize the teaching staff for training of the students of their departments and so do faculties. For example, the Faculty of Philosophy and Social Sciences has four departments (philosophy, social communication, psychology, and sociology). There are five chairs – the Chair of Philosophy and Methodology of Science, Philosophy of Culture, Sociology, Psychology, Social Communication. Besides, there are chairs that do not affiliate to faculty directly, such as Chairs of Foreign Languages (English, German, etc.), the Chair of Physical Education, the Chair of Pedagogy. These Chairs train students of different Faculties simultaneously.
