Literature Cited
1. All works cited in the text, tables, figure captions, and appendices must be included in the Literature Cited section.Google Scholar
2. Entries in the Literature Cited section (including Mac and Mc) are listed in strict alphabetical order, except in cases of three or more authors. For citations with the same senior author: group all the single-author citations in chronological order; group all the two-author citations alphabetically first and then chronologically; and group all the citations with three or more authors in chronological order only. For works published in the same year by the same author(s), the works are listed in alphabetical order (or in date order if this is obvious, e.g., consecutive articles in a journal or articles numbered I and II). To differentiate articles published in the same year by the same author(s), a lowercase letter follows the date.Google Scholar
3. The names of authors are in capital and lowercase letters. Authors' initials are separated by a space. Except for the first author, author initials come before surname. For articles in an edited volume, editors' initials precede surnames. Underline “In” or “in” for citations in a book. (See examples below.)Google Scholar
4. Use a dash to denote repeated author names. Use only one dash for exact duplicate of authors in the preceding citation, no matter how many authors.Google Scholar
a) Abbreviate the names of publishers. Blackwell Scientific is an abbreviated form; Blackwell is the abbreviated form for Basil Blackwell. Use Springer, not Spring-Verlag.Google Scholar
b) If necessary, retain initials to distinguish among publishers:Google Scholar
Freeman, W. H.Google Scholar
c) Usually delete “Press” except for University presses. But Academic Press, not Academic.Google Scholar
8. State names are omitted if the city is large and well known or if the state name is part of the publisher's name. Traditional abbreviations of state names are used, not postal codes. (Boston) (Springfield, Mass.) (University of Wisconsin Press, Madison) (Marshfield, Wisc.).Google Scholar
9. Spell out country names, if needed, for location of publisher, e.g., Wiley, Chichester, England.Google Scholar
10. If three or more chapters of a book are cited, cite the book separately, and use an abbreviated citation of the book in the reference for the chapter.Google Scholar
