   that anonymity cannot be guaranteed. Further information on our preprints
   policy and citation requirements can be found on our Preprints Author
   Services page. Find out more about what to expect during peer review and read
   our guidance on publishing ethics.

   Reviewed, but are reviewed by at least one Associate Editor and the Editor,
   along with Guest Editor(s) when applicable.

REFERENCES

Please use this reference style guide when preparing your paper. An EndNote
output styleis also available to assist you.

Please note that DOI numbers should be provided for all journal references.


1) Identify references in text within parentheses, e.g. (Sussman 1997, 70–72).
Use 1997a and 1997b, etc for works by the same author in the same year. Titles
of books and journals are in italics. Capitalize the first letter of words in
titles of articles and books.

PLEASE NOTE: Give each author’s full name, i.e. first and last names, not last
name with initials:
e.g. Tuchman, Gaye NOT Tuchman, G. (initials may stand for middle names).

2) References should be set out at the end of the article. See point 4 below for
personal communications and interviews.

3) All references in the reference list must appear in the text and all
references cited in the text must have an entry in the reference list. Please
cross-check carefully, making sure that spellings and years are correct in the
text and reference list. Note: Newspapers and magazines are cited in the text,
and no
entry is normally needed in the references, e.g.:

“quotation from newspaper” ( Sunday Times, April 8, 2012)
... as noted in a Guardian article on February 27, 2012 ...

Where entries are more suitable for the bibliography, follow these examples for
the reference list:

Newspaper article

Mendelsohn, Daniel. 2010. "But Enough about Me." New Yorker, January 25.

Online newspaper article

Stolberg, Sheryl Gay, and Robert Pear. 2010. "Wary Centrists Posing Challenge in
Health Care Vote." New York Times, February 27.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/us/politics/28health.html.

Blog

Posner, Richard. 2010. "Double Exports in Five Years?" The Becker-Posner Blog,
February 21.
http://uchicagolaw.typepad.com/beckerposner/2010/02/double-exports-in-five-years-posner.html.

Website

Google. 2009. "Google Privacy Policy."
http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacypolicy.html.

4) Details of personal communications and interviews should be given in the text
or Notes, not in the reference list. The person’s first name or initial should
be given the first time they are cited unless their full name has already been
used in the text. For example (Randy Hope Goodman, personal communication,
February 22, 2008), with the shortened version used for any subsequent
citations, e.g. (Goodman, personal communication, February 22, 2008). The format
of the date depends on whether it is a US- or UK-style paper so it would appear
as, e.g., (Victoria Sponge, interview, 22 February 2008) in UK papers.

Other Examples for the Reference list. Please follow this formatting closely:
