The DIN standard DIN 1505-2 has the "title information of documents " and " citation rules " as its content and is available in the January 1984 edition. The standard is aimed at authors, publishers and editors and should be used for literature compilations, bibliographies and footnotes. It defines the necessary components of a literature citation, the form and the order.

In October 2013 the successor standard DIN ISO 690: 2013-10 was published. It replaces DIN 1505-2: 1984-01, which is no longer valid.

Background and structure

The standard was created in connection with the Committee for Patent Documentation , the German Library , the German Patent Office and the Society for Documentation and Information (today "DGI"). It uses the norms for the design of norms (DIN 820-2), for transcribing foreign alphabets (DIN 1460 Cyrillic, DIN 31634 Greek, DIN 31635 Arabic, DIN 31636 Hebrew), for country codes ( ISO 3166 ) and international recommendations for bibliographic documents and patents ( WIPO ST.9 and WIPO ST.16).

This German standard expressly refers to international standards on documentation rules (ISO / DIS 4, ISO / DP 30, ISO 690 , ISO 3388) and, since the GDR still existed in 1984 , to its relevant TGL .

The standard is essentially divided into four parts:

  1. Definition of descriptive symbols,
  2. Structure of quotations  - first in general, then with specific sources
  3. Structure of bibliographies
  4. Transliteration of information in foreign alphabets.

In the appendix there is a table of the codes of foreign patent offices.

Essential regulations

Descriptor

In order to separate the components of a quotation, certain characters that are otherwise used in the normal character set are defined as descriptive characters .

  • Point ". "And a comma", "in combination with trailing space - in the standard Spatium called - defined.
  • Dash “-”, slash “/” and semicolon “; "Are specified together with a leading and trailing space.
  • The colon is kept as a normal punctuation mark “:” only with a trailing space, but is also used as a descriptor “:” with a space before and after.

Description characters can also appear at the beginning or the end of a line. Then the respective space on the outside should be omitted.

Structure of a quote

Basically, a quote should be structured as follows: 

Name1, Vorname1[; Name2, Vorname2; …]: Titel: Untertitel.
[Bandangabe, ][Auflageneigenschaften, ]nächster Verlagsort: Verlagskurzbezeichnung,
Jahr der Auflage[ (Gesamttitel, Hausangaben)].[ - ISBN #####][ S. #–#]

The information in square brackets is optional in some cases.

  • The order is family name with all components and prefixes, then first name written out with further first names as initials.
  • If no authors are known, they are replaced by either the publisher or corporate author with explanatory information in brackets and abbreviated. For example: REFA (Ed.)
  • Editors (editing), employees (employees), translators (translators) or interviewers (interviews), etc. can also be included in the list of authors. Ä. be included.
  • Title and, if applicable, addition are separated by ":" (space colon space).
  • The title may be followed by an indication of the volume, followed by an indication of the edition. If there are several volumes, different editions are combined.
  • Only the first name of the publisher, publication or, if neither is known, the place of printing is given after the point.
  • After the place, the first-named publisher is given as briefly as possible after the colon.
  • The year of publication is after the comma.
  • Additional information follows in brackets.
  • Finally, the ISBN may follow “. - ISBN ".

Contributions published independently

DIN 1505-2 defines contributions in journals, monographs, conference proceedings, etc. as contributions that have been published independently. First of all, the contribution itself is included here 

Name1, Vorname1[; Name2, Vorname2 ; …]: Titel: Untertitel.

to specify. If a property title is missing, the beginning of the quotation may alternatively be specified. The source itself is then introduced with "In:". In the case of a monograph , this is specified according to the rules described.

The following rules apply to magazines: 

Titel[, Unterreihe] [Bd.-Nr.](Jahr)[, Nr. #], S. #-#

this means:

  1. Title of the magazine or newspaper,
  2. if necessary, separated by commas, a sub-row,
  3. the tape count
  4. the year of publication in brackets or, in the case of newspapers, the date ( date format according to ISO 8601 ),
  5. Issue number after ", No."
  6. Page count by ","

special cases

  • In the case of conference proceedings , you usually have an editor of the volume and one or more organizers, who are then to be named. This is followed by the title of the conference and, if applicable, the number in a periodic conference series together with the name of the series, supplemented by the conference location and date. This is followed by the normal indication of the place and publisher, as described above.
  • In the case of university publications that are not published by a publisher, such as diploma theses or dissertations , the university location, the university and the department as well as the type of script and the year, all separated by commas, are listed instead of the location and publisher.
  • For research reports and the like, follow the pattern for a monograph. All authors are given first, but then all participating corporations as editors. The commonly available numbers of the fonts must be given as the overall title.
  • Property rights (e.g. patents , utility models) are introduced by the word “property right”. This is followed by the country code according to ISO 3166, in the case of designs supplemented by the location of the register, then the publication number, followed by the type of document according to the currently valid WIPO standard. The publication date follows in brackets. The applicant must then be indicated after a point. This follows after “. Pr. “The country code of the priority country, followed by the priority file number and priority date. If there is more than one priority, the oldest applies; if thereis no priority , the login data is used. Additional information can be added according to “. - " consequences.
  • Citations of norms are introduced with “norm”. This is followed by the specification of the standard (e.g. DIN), the number and, if necessary, the name of the standard after a point.
  • Loose-leaf editions are cited like monographs. The loose-leaf collection is given instead of the ISBN.
  • Geographical maps are given like independent or dependent fonts. Instead of the ISBN, the scale is used here .

Laws

In the case of legal texts, specific sources are not given. The quotation begins with the full name of the legislative body, possibly followed by the state of the federal state if it is a state law. If an abbreviation exists, it must be used instead of the full name. This is followed by the date of publication in brackets, either as "from" (v.), Or as "in the version from" (as amended from), if the law has already been changed. This is followed by the identification, for example § and then the count, which also includes the subdivision, such as counted paragraphs or sections.

Format description using the example: 

BundesweinV (idF der 3. ÄndV. v. 15. 7. 1977) § 7 Abs. 3

Note: The standard uses the conventional date format in the examples of laws - unlike in the rest of the standard - because, as explained in the explanations, it does not want to regulate the specification of calendar dates and therefore deliberately uses the international form according to DIN 5008 in examples and ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) and sometimes the national, ascending order (DD.MM.YYYY) is used. (See also: Date format ).

Further specifications:

  • When citing several consecutive paragraphs, cite with §§ and then add an “f” or even “ff” to the numbers.
  • Statutory passages that are related to each other are indicated one after the other and connected by “in connection with” (in conjunction with).
  • If different parts of the law are listed, they are also given one after the other and followed by “; " Cut.
  • Foreign laws are indicated by the country code according to ISO 3166 in round brackets after they have been named.

Bibliography

The structure of the citations in the bibliography is the same. They are simply numbered or the short quotation used in the previous text (example: Bleicher 1990) is prefixed.
