Order of entries

  • Order entries alphabetically by the first listed author’s last name.
  • Single author entries by the same author appear in order of publication date (earlier before later).
  • Works without a date (n.d.) precede those with a date.
  • ‘Nothing’ precedes ‘something’ – that is, for example, ‘Smith’ precedes ‘Smithson’.
  • Entries that are in the process of being published (in press) are listed with the year of online publication.

For example:

Dearlove, J n.d., 'Title of the article', Journal, vol. xx, no. X, Page number, <http://doi.xxx>.

Dearlove, J 2015, 'Title of the article', Journal, vol. xx, no. X, Page number, <http://doi.xxx>.

Dearlove, J 2019, 'Title of the article', Journal, vol. xx, no. X, Page number, <http://doi.xxx>.

Single author entries appear before multiple author entries.

For example:

A work by ‘Smith’ would be listed before a publication by ‘Smith & Brown’.

If a work has no identified author, use the work’s title in the author position (see example provided under the section Books, No author).

Use ‘Anonymous’ in author position only if indicated on the work.
