Bibliography
“Bibliography”
is used here to denote the list of books, articles, and other references.
All sources to be included – books, articles, dissertations, papers – are
alphabetically arranged
in a single list by the last names of the authors (or, if no author or editor is given, by
the title or
a keyword readers are most likely to seek).
Authors' names are inverted to put the family name first (but only
for the first of two or more authors).

Parenthetical
Text Citation
(author-date style)
An author-date citation in running text or at the end of a block quotation
consists of
the last (family) name of the author, followed by the year of publication of the
work in
question. In this context, "author" may refer not only to one or more
authors or an institution but
also to one or more editors, translators, or compilers. No punctuation appears
between author
and date. --The
--Basic
(Pacini 1997)
--Two or three authors
(Ikenbery, Rankine, and Stice
1996)
--More than three authors
(Zipursky et al. 1997)
--When two or more works by different
authors with the same last name appear
in the bibliography
