Authors' names : Authors names should always be Surname, Initial. Initial. e.g. Smith, L. M.
Multiple authors: The same rules apply as for books.
Italics : Only the magazine or newspaper title and the volume number should be in italics.
Capitalization : For the article title, the first letter of the first word of a title should be capitalized as should the first letter of the first word of any subtitle. Everything else should be in lower case unless it is a proper noun or an abbreviation that is always written in capitals. For a newspaper or magazine title, all major words need to be capitalized.
Date : In addition to putting in the year an article is published you may need to put in the month and day of publication. The formate must alway be (Year, Month day).
Splitting a URL : If your URL needs to be split do not insert a hyphen. Break the URL before a punctuation mark. Do not add a full stop at the end of URL as this may appear to be part of the URL and cause retrieval problems.
Secondary Sources : You can only reference information that you have actually seen. If that book or journal article quotes another piece of work which you also want to quote, you need to cite the information as a secondary citation.
For example you read an article by Sandvoss, in which he quotes Taylor "Ian Taylor's influential analysis (1971) in which he identifies hooliganism as a response to social control..."
If you have not read the item by Taylor you would reference the Sandvoss article.
Sandvoss, C. (2003). A game of two halves: Football, television and globalization. Journal of Football Societies, 34(3), 1-8.
In text citation (as cited in Sandvoss, 2003, p. 2)
