The type of material you reference breaks down citation specifics. For a book you will start with the author or editor's name. If the material is a textbook or document with multiple contributors, this will likely be the editor. You will list the person by last name, followed by a comma, then the initial(s) marked with period(s). Next comes the publication date in parentheses followed by a period. The title comes next, with only proper names capitalized and in italics. If there is an edition number, that should come in parentheses for a second edition or later and then a period; if there is no edition number, then the period directly follows the title. Add the place of publication, with the city and state, followed by a colon then the final piece: the name of the publisher. Likely your reference will take up more than one line; each subsequent line should have a hanging indent of ½-inch, no matter what type of reference.
If there is more than one author of the book, you should cite the first author's last name, place a comma after this, then the author's initial(s) followed by period(s) then an ampersand before the next author in the same format. If you are noting editors, after the last editor use parentheses around "Eds." Articles or chapters within a book must be noted if you did not utilize the entire book. In this case you would use the author of the article, list the article in standard font followed by a period, then add "In" and follow the rest of the book citation, noting the editors, the title of the book, place of publication and publisher. After the title of the book and before the period, in parentheses, include the pages used in the book preceded by "pp."
These run much the same as a book that contains an article. You first list the author and the year, then comes the title of the article in standard font. Next comes the name of the publication but instead of parentheses you follow it with a comma. If there is an edition number, it goes here followed by another comma and then the page numbers, with no "pp" notation, just the numbers followed by a period. This is the end if you used a print copy of the article. If you accessed it online, next should be the digital identifier, which is a series of numbers and words. Denote the number as "doi:" If there is no digital identifier, then you can list it as "Retrieved from" and follow it with the website.
Websites, audiovisual media, broadcast media, compact discs and even online video must be referenced. Of these, the most commonly used citation is for a website. This should start with the author, if known; if not, you can include the name of the website. Next come the date, month (if known), the document created, the title of the document in italics followed by a period then "Retrieved from" before the Web address. The Web address is the only ending that is never marked with a period.
