PEOPLE AS AUTHORS
      The number of people credited with authoring a particular document can range from one to twelve and more. When large groups of people generate a text, authorship is often assigned to the institution that these people have in common. In most cases, however, the authors of a document are named individually, and each name is given in the bibliographic reference for that work.
      For each person listed as an author, you must give that person's last name, and the initials of any other "name elements" given for that person. If a first or middle name is given, you will provide only the first initial of that first or last name. If a first or middle initial is given, these initials go in as read. For authors (though not for editors), type the last name, then a comma, then first and middle (and any subsequent) initials. Put a period after each initial. For example:

John Wilkes Booth	Booth, J. W.
John F. Kennedy	Kennedy, J. F.
C. Thomas Howell	Howell, C. T.
P. D. James	James, P. D.
J. R. R. Tolkien	Tolkien, J. R. R.

      When multiple authors are given for a single document, all authors are listed in the order given in the document. Put a comma between each person's name, and put an ampersand (&) before the final name. If only two authors are given, this means the ampersand goes between the first and second author. Since the list of authors will necessarily end with the period that follows the final initial of the final author listed, no further punctuation is needed. Here are some examples:

One author	Blythe, Q. L.
Two authors	Martin, U. M., & Wenmbsley-Meekes, I.
Three authors	Aaron, H., Upswitch, J. T., & Rennington, S.
Seven authors	Sleepy, A., Happy, B., Grumpy, C., Sneezy, D., Bashful, E., Dopey, F., & Doc, G.

INSTITUTIONS AS AUTHORS
      Sometimes a particular person or group of people is not credited with authorship of a document. In cases like this, the work is said to have "institutional authorship". Citing institutions as authors is quite simple. Simply spell out the name of the institution and end it with a period. Do not use abbreviations in institutional authors: spell everything out. Capitalize every word in the name of the institution, except for prepositions (like of, to, and from), articles (like a, an, and the), and conjunctions (like and and or). However, if the first word of the title is a preposition, article or conjunction, capitalize it anyway.

REPUBLISHED BOOKS
      Sometimes a book is republished for various reasons. If a book is out of print, and sufficient demand exists, a publisher might begin printing it again to capitalize on that demand. When this happens, citing the newer publication date would be misleading-the book is exactly the same as when it was originally published. In cases like this, two dates are given: the original publication date and the new publication date. The two dates are included in parentheses, separated by a slash. The right parenthesis is followed by a period.

NO DATE GIVEN
      In rare cases, no date is given for the publication of a source. While this is much more common with older sources, this still happens today. Instead of a date, when a date is not available, simply put "n.d."-for no date-in the parentheses. Follow the right parenthesis with a period.
