General Rules
- How to format in-text citations in your document.
- Author/editor names: Last name + First name initial + Middle name initial (if available). e.g., Armand Peter Smith = Smith AP.
- The names of all authors and editors should be given unless there are more than 6 (7 or more), in which case the names of the first 3 authors are used, followed by “et al”). e.g., Smith TP, Brown A, McLane E, et al.
- No authors, organization, or editors listed? Contact library@saskhealthauthority.ca to ask a librarian.
- Titles: Follow examples when using upper- and lowercase initials and italics. Do not use quotation marks for titles (e.g., "Title").
- Subtitles: Use the colon (i.e., : ) to separate the title from the subtitle. e.g., Rural Healthcare: A Definitive Guide.
- Dates: Spell out the full month name for 'Accessed' date. e.g., June, not Jun or 06.
- Proper nouns: Always capitalize the first initial of country/city, person, clinical tool, organization, and/or association names.
