Binding format of the footnotes in the journal of PERSPECTIVA
Each (popularly speaking) note consists of reference, i.e. numeral (written down in so called upper index, e.g. 15) and footnote, i.e. real text, preceded by the same numeral, as specified by introduced reference. The footnote is placed at bottom section of the page, exceptionally the note may be placed at the end, e.g. of the chapter. The example below refers to the order of notes on individual pages of the manuscript (computer print). So, if we below put the first quotation, thus we indicate that given scientific item is introduced into the paper for the first time. Announcement: second and next quotation suggests that from the given item we use for the second and each next time.

QUOTATION FROM JOURNALS
The numbering of the journals is standardized, i.e. firstly a year’s issue (it informs how many years the magazine is published, it is often written in Roman numerals, e.g. XXX), then a particular year (e.g. 2013), then the issue number in the given year (e.g. no 2). At the end there is the given page (e.g. p. 5) and sometimes a marking of the text portion indicated already on given page (for example, we refer to point 13). Thus, the whole looks the following: “The title of the journal” 30:2013, no. 2 p. 5 (13). There are two important principles: (1) If any of the numbers does not exist, then there is no need to think it up, unless it is overlooked by the issuer; and (2) Each number has its place, so the order of their occurrence cannot be changed.
