Notes
- Arrange the items on your reference list alphabetically
by author, interfiling books,
articles, etc.
- Double-space all lines.
- Indent the second and following lines 5 spaces (or one half
inch).
- If no author is given, start with the title.
- Abbreviate the names of all months except May, June, and July.
- If the paging of a
magazine or newspaper article is continued elsewhere in
the issue, include only the first page followed by a plus sign
(ex. 25+.).
- If the encyclopedia does not arrange its
articles alphabetically, treat the encyclopedia article as if it
were a book article. Specific volume and page numbers
are cited in the text, not in the list of references.
- Gale Reference Book: cite the original source being
reprinted as shown under Book, Journal Article, Newspaper or
Magazine Article, etc. The example shows a Magazine Article. Then
include the citation information for the reference book.
- Websites: include the title of
the web page, the name of the
entire web site, the
organization that posted it (this may be the same as
the name of the website). Also include the full
date the page was created or last updated
(day, month, year if available) and the
date you looked at it.
- Internet Magazine Articles:
Include:
- The name of the database
(underlined) and the company that
created it and its home
webpage;
- The full date of the article
(day, month, year if available) and the
date you looked at it;
- If you are citing a journal instead of a
magazine, include the volume (and
issue number) and date
as shown under the Journal Style above.
- The library or other organization
(and its location) that provided you with access to
the database.
- As for page numbers,
different databases will provide different information. Include
the range of pages (ex. 25-28.);
or the starting page followed by a hyphen, a blank space, and a
period
(ex.
64- .); or the total number of pages or paragraphs
(ex.
12 pp. or 33 pars.).
If no page information is given, then leave it out.
- The rules concerning a title within a title are
not displayed here for purposes of clarity. See the
printed version of the manual for details.
- For documents and situations not listed here, see the printed
version of the manual.
