Journals and Books
Journal articles, books etc. should be cited with the author's name as shown in the work being cited. Journal abbreviations are in roman, with no periods (full stops). If the journal does not have consecutive volume numbers, the year should be shown in square brackets, as in the second example.
- Alison L Young, 'In Defence of Due Deference' (2009) 72 MLR 554
- Paul Craig, 'Theory, '"Pure Theory" and Values in Public Law' PL 440
Books follow a similar pattern. Note the order is Author, Title (Edition, Publisher Year) page.
- Joseph Raz, The Authority of Law: Essays on Law and Morality (2nd edn, OUP 2009)
If a title and a subtitle have nothing in between, a colon should be used to separate them. A chapter in an edited book would be cited as follows.
- Justine Pila, 'The Value of Authorship in the Digital Environment' in William H Dutton and Paul W Jeffreys (eds), World Wide Research: Reshaping the Sciences and Humanities in the Century of Information (MIT Press 2000)

“Could slavery suggest a more complete servility than some of these journals exhibit? Is there any dust which their conduct does not lick, and make fouler still with its slime?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.”
