Please note that full citations in notes are not necessary as long as complete bibliographic information is provided in your bibliography or reference list. Shortened versions of citations in notes are recommended, in fact: e.g., Melville, Moby Dick. Manuscripts that do not have a bibliography or reference list must give full citations the first time a work is cited in the notes (preferably the first time in each chapter); thereafter, short citations should be used. If you are using an Author/Date reference style instead of notes and a bibliography, the year of publication must immediately follow the author’s name in each entry of your reference list.
Do not manually create hanging indents for your bibliography or reference list by using hard returns and tabs in the middle of an entry. Instead, either use the hanging indent feature in your word-processing program or format each entry like a normal paragraph with a first line indent.
