A Note About This Guide
This is a brief style guide for authors. For information about styles and conventions used in marking up articles for WordPress, see: Code4Lib Journal WordPress Input Guidelines.
Start of Article
Article titles are in Title Case -- all major words capitalized. The title is followed by an abstract, which will be pulled from the excerpt section lower on the post page, and byline of the form "by Author" or "by Author 1, Author 2, and Author 3".
Headings
Major section headings are in "Title Case" -- all words capitalized, short words (the, a, in, up, over, about) should not be. Subheadings are in "Sentence case" -- only the first word is capitalized.
End of Document
Recommended Reference Style Discussion:
CSE has been voted in as the official recommended style (see: Citation_discussion)
Endnote & Endnote References
A Bibliography and Notes section (if needed) immediately follows the last of the article's narrative text. References are indicated by author and year (Smith, 2007). Notes are indicated in the text either by note number in square brackets [1].
Bibliographies are recommended to follow CSE reference style. An author may choose to use a different bibliographic reference style, but should follow that style accurately.
Authors can refer to this guide for using the CSE Reference Style
Where notes refer to articles, books, etc., that are not available by direct link, insert a COINS element after the note.
About the Author
A sentence or two of brief biography, provided by the author(s), appears listed after the Notes.
Appendices
If there are appendices, they appear after the author biography.
