Notes and References
All external sources must be referenced.
The choice of footnotes or endnotes is one that should be taken in consultation with the editor, and will depend on the nature of the work and the extent of the notes. Use the footnote/endnote tools provided by your word-processing software (in recent versions of MS Word, these can be found on the References tab). Chapter 17 of NHR has further advice on notes and references.
Some common errors
- There should be a full stop at the end of each entry in the bibliography and each endnote.
- Ensure that p. or pp. is followed by a space.
- For books and chapters in books, include both place of publication and publisher.
