  1. Normally the reference section contains full bibliographic information on all and only those works explicitly mentioned in the body of the article or in the notes. Begin the reference section on a new page, but WITHOUT entering a hard page break in the document.
  2. Treat each reference entry as a text block, using hanging indents, where the first line is aligned left and subsequent lines of each entry are indented.
  3. Single-space within entries and double-space between entries, using the same type face and size that you use in the body of the article and in the notes.
  4. Include the following elements in each entry: author’s surname, give name(s) or initial(s), and, if appropriate, the given name(s) and surname(s) of other authors followed by a period; then the year of publication, also followed by a period. Give the full title and subtitle of the work, italicized if it is a book, in double quotation marks if it is a journal article. Article titles should be followed by the full name of the journal, italicized, the volume number, a colon, and the page number(s). The titles of books should be followed by the place of publication and the name of the publisher (see sample entries below).
  5. Arrange entries alphabetically by sumame(s) of author(s).
  6. Arrange multiple works by the same author(s) in ascending chronological order.
  7. Use lowercase letters to distinguish multiple items published by the same author(s) in the same year(s).
  8. Use authors’ names as they appear on the original publication; do not replace full names with initials or vice versa.
  9. Do not abbreviate university press names.
