  • Always use “and” for multiple authors
• Links

  • If there is no DOI available, use a permalink from the website, database, or Library Search
  • Use a regular URL as a last resort
• Miscellaneous Formatting
  • Each citation should have a hanging indent of half an inch
  • If there is a quote within a title, use ‘ ‘ instead of “ “
