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. See Reference List General Rules for the use of "et al."
No authors, organization, or editors listed? Contact library@saskhealthauthority.ca to ask a librarian.
Titles: Capitalize only the first word of a title, proper nouns, proper adjectives, acronyms, and initialises. Do not use quotation marks or italics for titles.
Subtitles: Use the colon (i.e., : ) to separate the title from the subtitle. e.g., Rural healthcare: a definitive guide.
Dates: Whenever possible use the date format [YYYY Mon DD].
Proper nouns: Always capitalize the first initial of country/city, person, clinical tool, organization, and/or association names.
