General Tips
Use a hanging indentation for the citation; use the author's full name(s) as given; capitalize all keywords in Title of Work, Title of Periodical, Title of Article, and Title of Chapter; do not include the issue number unless the journal begins with page one with each issue; cut-down pages numbers (i.e. instead of 119-134 or 91-98 use 119-34 and 91-8).
