Note on Bibliography:

Turabian does not recommend including an entire well-known reference work in a bibliography and therefore it does not provide a format. For lesser known reference books, consider following the format for Article in an Anthology or Compilation.

Example of Note:

Columbia Encyclopedia, 5th ed., s.vv. "cold war."

Notes:

• The edition of a well-known reference work must be included in the note for all but the first edition.
• The "s.vv." stands for "after the words." It is a standard abbreviation that should be used when citing well-known encyclopedias and dictionaries. The singular is "s.v." for "after the word."

APA citation style is based on Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th edition, 2001. For addition information please refer to this publication. A copy is on reserve at the main desk in Conant Library.

There are several important reasons to cite sources including 1) to attribute ideas and information from other sources, and 2) to help the reader easily locate the original source of ideas and information.

In citing sources it is vital to include both a Reference List at the end of a paper and citations within the text of the paper (i.e. in-text citations). All items in the Reference List must be cited within the paper and all items cited in the text must be in the Reference List.

• All text should be double spaced.
• Authors' names should be inverted (last name first), and names should consist of last name and initials.
• Capitalize only the first word of the an article title and subtitle, as well as proper nouns.
• Journal titles should not be abbreviated.
• The Reference List should be placed at the end of the paper.
• All items in the Reference List should be double spaced within and between entries.
• All items should be alphabetized according to the last name of the first author.
• Sources without authors should be alphabetized within the Reference List according to the first word of the article title.
