23. Reference List Tips • References should appear in hanging indent form; first line at the left margin, each succeeding line of a reference entry is indented. • In titles of books, articles, films, and broadcasts capitalize only the first word of the title, the first word after a colon or dash, and proper nouns. • In periodical titles capitalize all major words and all words of four letters or more. • Periodical titles should be in italic.

24. Parenthetical Reference Tips • If you are citing a work by a single author, use the surname (do not include suffixes such as Jr.) and the year of publication separated by a comma in parentheses: • In a recent study of reaction time (Rogers, 1994) … • If you have just stated the author's name in the text, put the year of publication only in parentheses: • Peplau (1985) defines loneliness as a difference between desired and achieved social relationships.
