Notes

  • Use 'and others' in the footnotes after the first author when there are more than three authors.
  • Use 'and others' in the bibliography after the first author when there are more than three authors.
  • All authors in the footnotes are presented as First Name Last Name.
  • No extra line spacing between footnote entries.
  • Single spacing between lines within an entry.

Secondary citation

It is best practice to avoid secondary referencing. Whenever possible find the original source and cite this. If this is not possible because the original is not available then use a secondary reference.
