NECESSARY INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT:

Author(s) of paper or manuscript	location varies according to paper or manuscript.
Year written	location varies according to paper or manuscript.
Title	location varies according to paper or manuscript
Publication process information	location varies according to paper or manuscript.

AUTHOR(S) OF PAPER OR MANUSCRIPT
      For unpublished works, put each author's last name, then a comma, then the first initial of the given name, then any additional initials. A period should follow each initial. Separate the last author from the second-to-last author with a comma and ampersand (&). Separate any additional authors by commas.

One author	Wringley, B. B.
Two authors	Mario, L. G., & Luigi, M. G.
Three authors	Smith, J. S., Samson, M. S., & Jackson, L. J.
Institutional author	The Foundation for Ancient Pig Latin Research

YEAR WRITTEN
      Even though the work has not been published, the year it was written should be included in the citation to establish the timeliness of the data presented therein. If the paper has been revised (as can happen many times if the paper is being prepared for publication), use the year of the draft the pertinent information is being taken from.

Standard form

(1993). (1982).

TITLE OF PAPER OR MANUSCRIPT
      Give the full title of the paper or manuscript, including the subtitle if one is given. Capitalize only the first word of the title, and the first word of any subtitle; also capitalize any proper names in the title. Separate title and subtitle with a colon (:). The title should be italicized, except in the case of raw data taken from an unpublished study, where the topic of the study is then put in brackets to show that it is a description of the content and not an actual title (see examples below). End the title with a period (.).

Standard form	The acquisition of suprasegmental skills in Pig Latin as a second language.
Title and subtitle	Phonemes in Pig Latin: A look at the production and perception of difficult sounds.

PUBLICATION PROCESS INFORMATION
      Because the manuscript or paper may be in several different steps of the publication process, it is important to let readers know where the source is currently. Do not italicize this part of the citation. End with a period. If a university is cited, separate the publication process information and the name of the university with a comma (,). Include the city, state, and country (if outside the United States) of the university unless such information is included in the name of the university. See the examples below for more information.

Note: if the manuscript or paper has been accepted for publication, do not use a year. Instead, use the term "in-press." Give the title of the Journal the paper was submitted, as you would in citing a journal article. Do not gaive the page numbers as they are not available until publication. If the manuscript has been submitted, but not yet accepted for publication, do not give the name of the journal or publisher the manuscript was submitted to.
