Text references

  1. If the author's name occurs in the text, the date is enclosed in parentheses:
  2. When the reference itself is within parentheses, and the parentheses enclose nothing other than references, the phrase e.g. or cf., or the words see or see also, the date is not enclosed in parentheses (note that no comma separates the author's name from the date):
  3. If the parentheses enclose other material, the date is enclosed in square brackets rather than parentheses:
  4. The word page is spelled out in citations:
  5. For works with one, two, or three authors, all authors' surnames are given in the in-text citation. For works with four or more authors, et al. (in roman type) replaces the surnames of all authors except the first. (The names of all authors are provided in the corresponding reference entry, regardless of the number of authors.)
