Style notes for this referencing type
- Capitalise only the first word of a title (as well as words that would normally begin with a capital letter).
- Include edition if not the first (unless citing a first edition where subsequent editions exist).
- Commonly used words in publisher names may be abbreviated. For example: Dept. for Department.
- Place of publication:
- If the publisher is located in more than one city: cite the city that is printed first.
- For cities that are not well known follow with the country name either written out in full or as the ISO country code. For example: Melbourne (Australia) OR Melbourne (AU).
- Pagination is optional.
