The details which must be included in the footnote are:
- Author(s) name as it appears in the publication.
- If an article is available in both print and online formats, cite the print version. If citing the online version, the date of retrieval is not given (Rule 5.10).
- Title of the article - Put in single quotation marks. Capitalise the first letter of each word in the title except articles ('the', 'a', 'an'), conjunctions (e.g. 'and', 'but', etc.) and prepositions (e.g. 'on', 'with', etc.).
- Year - Put in round brackets.
