General Formatting for Reference Lists
References should be listed in the order that they appear in the academic work.
References should be single-spaced within each listing and double-spaced between each
listing.
References must include all author names for a source; do not use “et al.”
List the authors’ names in the order that they appear in the published source. This
order is determined by their role in the research described in the article. Do not list the
names alphabetically.
When listing an author’s name, use the last name first, followed by the first and middle
initials. There is no comma after the last name, and no commas, spaces, or periods
between first and middle initials.
With the exception of the first word and proper nouns, the title of an article should be
in all lowercase letters.
Abbreviate periodical titles according to the US National Library of Medicine's lists of
biographic data found at www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/serials/terms_cond.html; if a title does
not appear on these lists, provide the complete title.
One-word journal titles are written in full. Examples: Pediatrics, Cancer, Diabetes.
Periodical and book titles are italicized and capitalized.
For periodicals, there is no space between the year, the volume, or the page numbers.
Page numbers are always written as "257-259", not "257-59."
Web site material that is only online (i.e. not an online version of a journal or other print
publication) should include author or organization, the title of the page, the URL, and
the access date. The title should not be italicized.
Publication and update dates, and access dates for Internet sites cited must be included.
