If there is a word obviously missing in the text, you should insert what you think should be there but enclose it in square brackets. This can be done in several ways and it is important to work out where the brackets and full stops should go in relation to the reference. You may use the author s name in the sentence. If you do not use the author s name within the sentence, put both name and year of publication in brackets. If you place the bracketed reference at the end of the sentence, the full stop follows the brackets and there is no stop in front of them.
Emphasis There are times when words or phrases in the text can helpfully be emphasized.
If you are using a quotation it is important to declare whether the emphasis is yours or that of the original author. If you have italicized or emboldened the words, state added emphasis , if it was in the work you are quoting from, state original emphasis . If there are three or more authors , give the first name only, followed by et al. Suitable phrases are, and others , and colleagues or and associates . This is the date when the book was published .
