General Guidelines

For the Author-Date format, references in the text of the paper are placed in parentheses, e. g. (Givens 2001). Use the title Reference List on list

of references at end. Alphabetize entries by author’s last name. If there is no author’s name, alphabetize by the title, disregarding initial A, An, or

The. Leave two spaces after periods separating sections of a citation. In each entry, indent the second and subsequent lines 0.5". Double space

between lines in each entry and between each citation. To save space here, only the examples in boxes are double-spaced. Only the first word of

titles and subtitles and journal names and proper nouns are capitalized. If desired, initials may be used for authors’ first and middle names.
