Text Citations

• All references must be cited in author-date form; all author-date-page number citations must be included in a "Referenced Cited" section at the end of the paper:
  example: . . . as cited in the text (Gossen 1999:22-23).     or  Watanabe (1992) argues that . . .
• All published quotations must be cited with page number(s): (1992:7–8); you may change the case of initial letter of quote to fit sentence without using brackets
• Leave all spellings and punctuation alone in quotes; use [sic] if necessary, and give an explanation in text if absolutely necessary
• If a quotation takes more than four manuscript lines, make it a block extract (i.e., without quoatation marks, but indented on both margins)
• In citations use colon between year and page number: Waterman 1990:3–7
• Use full first names when possible for authors and editors (but don’t force if author goes by initials)
• Use space between initials: U. S. Grant
• In citations of three or more authors, use "et al.," but in references cited, spell out all names
• Don’t use state name with city of publication unless city is obscure or there are several with that name. Where state name is used, use two-letter postal code
• Don’t use ibid. for repeated references
• Place text citations as near the author’s name as possible, except place quotation citations after the quote
• When citing an author, put the year in parentheses, but when citing a work, leave the year (and page numbers, if applicable) in the running text. Examples: "Smith (1990) eloquently describes . . . ," but "Smith 1990 contains an analysis. . . ."
• Cite a specific volume of a referenced work by inserting the volume number after the year (e.g., Waterman 1990, 2:3–7). But if that volume is the only one referenced in the article, then include its number in the reference and omit its number from the citation
• References with the same author and date should be placed in alphabetical order, by title
