Style Sheet for the UEE

UEE In-text Citations

The UEE uses the “author-date” format for in-text citations referring to a list of full References at the end of each text. Citations, located within the article text, are brief “internal” pointers to the full references at the end of the article. In their standard form they show within parentheses the author, year of publication, and page numbers (Author Year: page numbers). They can be modified to suit their particular context within an article. Examples: (Thompson 2001: 42 – 57) (2001: 42 – 57)

Capitalization

“Sentence-Style” capitalization is used: only the first word of title (and first word of subtitle, after colon) and proper nouns are capped. Journal titles, however, are always capped “Headline” style (i.e., with all major words capped).

Modifications to Sentence-Style capping are necessarily required for some foreign-language titles. German titles, in which all nouns are capitalized, will need special treatment: after they are converted by EndNote (see below), they will need to be “re-capitalized” (that is, given back their original capping by checking against the original document submitted by the Contributor) and checked for typos. French titles may be rendered in sentence style. Wouldn’t it be easier to type the title in headline style, and the German titles in their proper capitalized style, and tell Endnote to print the title as is?

Note that Series titles require special treatment: the title of the series (in contrast to the work within the series) is not italicized and is capitalized headline style.

Italics

Italics are used for titles of journals and books (including “volumes,” but excepting “series” titles).

Authors

Unlike the in-text references, all authors should be listed (no “et al.” in the bibliography) with their full names.
