Use full bibliographical reference on first citation in footnotes and a short form in subsequent citations (see below). It may be desirable to include a full bibliography (including both works cited and works not cited but consulted). The following examples show the forms to be used. First names should be given as they appear in the publication.Google Scholar

Second and subsequent references to books, articles, etc. already cited in full should include only the author's surname and short title (e.g. Bent, Dunstaple; Curtis, ‘Jean Pullois‘). Alternatively, it may be convenient to use an abbreviation explained in the first citation (e.g. Georg Friedrich Händeis Werke: Ausgabe der Deutschen Händelsgesellschaft, ed. Friedrich Chrysander, 96 vols. (Leipzig and Bergedorf bei Hamburg, 1858–94) plus supplement, 6 vols (Leipzig, 1888–1902); henceforth HG).Google Scholar
