Names Style Sheet

Abstract

References The reference section should contain 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. Treat each reference entry as a text block. Do not indent; do not use tabs or margin releases. Single-space within each entry and double-space between entries. Use the same type face and size that you use in the body of the article and in the notes. Underline the names of books and journals; do not use italics. Include the following elements in each entry: author’s surname, given 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, underlined 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, underlined, 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). Arrange entries alphabetically by surname(s) of author(s). Arrange multiple works by the same author(s) in ascending chronological order. Use lowercase letters to distinguish multiple items published by the same author(s) in the same year(s). Use authors’ names as they appear on the original publication; do not replace full names with initials or vice versa. Abbreviate university press names: UP of Kentucky, Cambridge UP, U of Alabama P.
