Among the Details to Notice in this Reference System
- Where two or more works by the same author are included in the bibliography, they are normally arranged alphabetically by title.
- All major words in titles and subtitles are capitalized.
- Date of publication must appear, where known. Provision of your date of access to electronic materials may be helpful, but is not required.
- Commas are used to separate elements within a footnote, and, in many circumstances, periods separate these same elements in the bibliographic entry.
- When a work has appeared in an edited collection, information on the editors must be included in the reference.
- First authors' first and last names are reversed in the bibliography.
- Translators must be noted both in footnotes and in the bibliography.
- Publisher as well as city of publication should be given.
- Months and publisher names are not abbreviated.
- The day of the month comes after the name of the month.
- Online references should not include the revision date but may include the date on which you visited the site (access date).
