Contents:

H2 HEADER FOR FIRST LEVEL TITLES

With capslock, centred.

H3 HEADER FOR SECOND LEVEL TITLES

With capslock, aligned left.

H4 header for third level titles

Align left.

REFERENCES AND NOTES

References and notes are compiled into one single list, which is appended at the end of the publication, headed as REFERENCES AND NOTES. Use the H2 header.

We do not use any plugin to create footnotes, for several reasons: the graphical aspect, the revision and proofreading process, and the future stability of the webpage design.

IMPORTANT ASPECTS TO KEEP IN MIND

All sources cited in the text must be referenced.

It is the author’s responsibility to include accurate, complete and properly formatted citations. The editors will not check sources for accuracy nor make extensive formatting changes.

Each reference number appears ONLY ONCE in the text. Subsequent references to the same source should have a new number and refer back to the initial reference, in Square brackets.

Example – single publication:
1. J Smith, A Oliveira and W Harris, Book Title (City: Publisher, Year).
2. See Smith, Oliveira and Harris, p. 43. [1.]

Example – multiple publications:
1. Bernard Jones, Book Title (City: Publisher, 2023).
2. Ibid
3. Bernard Jones, “Chapter Title”, in Book Title (City: Publisher, 2011). pp. 8-29.
4. See Jones (2023) p. 43. [1.]
5. See Jones (2011) p. 28. [3.]

To facilitate navigation, we use anchors (also known as jump links). They enable the reader to jump back and forth between the in-text numbers and the corresponding items in the “References and Notes” section.

Try this example:
Clicking (1), (2) or (3) takes you to corresponding items in a list bellow (for demonstrative purposes, at this time the list is not at the very end of this page). Clicking “BACK” brings you back here.

In-text format 

Notes (1) and references (2) are numbered sequentially (they are compiled into a single list at the end of the article). The numbers are put in brackets.

They always appear after the “quotation marks” (3).

They appear before commas (1), as well as before periods (4).

“Unless the quote includes a full sentence; then the period comes before the quotation mark.” (5)

End-list format

1. Each reference and note must be in a separate “text block”. Do not use the “list” block.
BACK

2. As you see here, the reference numbers in the end list are in bold.
BACK

3. Name Surname, Book title (place of publication: short form of publisher’s name, year).

Linking in-text numbers and notes/ references

Creating anchors/ jump links is easy, as shown in this short tutorial found online.

Anchor names must be as follows:

Each in-text number in brackets includes an anchor link to the corresponding number in the reference list.  The anchor name equals that number. For example,  the in-text number (1) includes a link named #1,  and the corresponding item in the “references and notes” section includes an anchor named 1.

In the “Reference and Notes” section, each item is followed the word BACK (capslock & bold), which includes an anchor link to the corresponding in-text reference. The anchor name equals that number followed by the letter “o”. For example, the word BACK in item 1. from the “references and notes” section includes a link named #1o, and the block from the corresponding in-text number (1) includes an anchor named 1o.

Mind paragraphs with several in-text numbers, because anchors apply to blocks – i.e. paragraphs, rather than lines. In those cases, several BACK links will take the reader to the same in-text paragraph. For example – if (1) and (2) are in the same paragraph – the word BACK must link to #1o in both list items 1. and 2.

PERFORMANCES

General

Whenever possible, complement the reference with an URL for documentation. Please see the instructions for “notes” and “online references” bellow.

Example

1. Ron Nachmann, Editorial Dance of Woe, ISAST Theater, San Francisco, California, 1998.

NOTES

General

Whenever notes include references, use the corresponding instructions.

If a single note includes multiple references, use the symbol & in-between.

Examples

1. The priming layers on these paintings were made with similar combinations of zinc and lead white, with a small amount of calcium-containing filler.
BACK

13. The described technique was furthered by John Smith, as shown in Axel, pp.4-5 & Rose and Yan-Hu, pp.34-50. [3.] & [10.]
BACK

34. Ultimately, I feel that the idea recalls E Bender, T Gebru, A McMillian-Major and S Shmitchell, “On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big?”, FAccT ’21 – ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency Proceedings, pp. 610–623 (2021). Nevertheless, arguing in that direction falls beyond the scope of the present argument.

ONLINE REFERENCES

General
