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 initialisms. 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.
