CITATIONS

NOTES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY formats

1All footnotes (endnotes) must be “first line indent” (.05). While the notes have

single spacing, a blank line or space must be provided in between entry. To do this, just click
[home] + [paragraph settings] + click, under “indentation,” special and first line (0.5)

All bibliographic entries must have a hanging indent. That means that the first line is not
indented, but the succeeding 2nd and 3rd lines, if any, must use hanging indent (.05).
Just like the entry here. To do this, just click [home] + [paragraph settings] + click
under “indentiation” special and hanging (0.5)

The major contents of the bibliography should only be divided to Books, Periodicals,
Unpublished Materials, and Electronic Sources. Distinction between primary and secondary
source is already passé.

General references are not included in the BIBLIOGRAPHY but the reference to the
newspaper or Encyclopedia should be included in the footnote.

All footnote numbers in the text must be placed at the end of the sentence, regardless
whether the notes contain reference notes or explanatory notes.

For sources that contain more than two authors “et al.” may be used in the footnote entry,
but the bibliographic entry should contain the complete names of all the authors or editors.

A quotation within quotation should only be written with “single ‘quotation’ marks” like this.

No abbreviation is used for the title. For example, Habermas’s The Theory of Communicative
Action should not be abbreviated to TCA. In the notes and text, it must appear Theory of
Communicative Action. For example the succeeding note should be Habermas, Theory of the
Communicative Action, 45.
