Bibliography Reference: General Rules
Author and Contributor Rules:
- When citing authors, use the last name followed by the first name and if given, the middle name or intial.
- For example: Kalita, Rahul J.
- If you are citing more than one author, separate the authors with commas, cite them alphabetically, and after the first author cite the others with simply their first and last name.
- For example: Somashekar, Darshan, Neal R. Taparia, and Tim Zonker.
- Contributor information (editor, compilers, and translators) are typically cited after the name of the source. Use "Ed." "Trans." or "Comp" to indicate what type of contributor you are citing for example:
- Author Information. Title of Source. Ed. Neal Taparia and Purav Jesrani. Trans. Sagar Shah.
- If there is no author, and the principal contributor to the source is an editor, translator, or compiler, replace this with the author.
- Smith, Adam, ed. "Apples and "Oranges." Trans. Victor Toriano.
Other Rules:
- Publication information is always written:
- City Published: Published, Year published
- City published and Publisher are always by a colon
- If there is no publisher, city published and year published are separated with a comma. For example
- Chicago, 2000
- A period should separate original publication information and online information
- Typical online information include title of the internet site, the editor of the site (if given), the date of electronic publication (if given), and the sponsoring institution or organization, date accessed, and the URL.
- When citing a URL, if it to lengthy, simply write the URL of the main source in which it comes from
