HOUSE STYLE

First, we are not strict about the formatting of submitted articles - if the content is good, we will take care of the rest. However, some writers prefer to know the house style. The following is generally the case:

  • Exhibition titles are in bold+italics on first mention, thereafter in italics..
  • Titles of works are in italics.
  • Reported speech and text excerpts are enclosed by double quotes, with the final punctuation mark normally coming inside the double quotes.
  • Single quotes are used to highlight the usage of a term - as in: 'highlight' here is synonymous with 'emphasise'. The final punctuation mark falls outside the closing apostrophe.
  • References within the text are in superscript. If the reference comes at the end of a sentence, it comes after all punctuation marks, e.g.: Brown asserts, "This is not so."3
  • The reference list follows the main text, each reference number in superscript. Citations should give the names of the author(s), including first name(s), title of the article, and year of publication. In the case of magazines/journals, give the volume number (if appropriate), issue number (if appropriate), month/season of publication (if appropriate). In the case of books, give the name of the publisher and city of publication. If the book is edited, give the full name(s) of the editor(s). If the article is translated, give the name of the translator. If the citation in the main text of your article is specific - e.g., a quote from someone else's article - give in the reference list the page number from which it is taken. If the citation refers to the whole article, give the page numbers of the article. If the article was published previously elsewhere, state this ("originally published in 1942," e.g.). 'Ibid' and 'op. cit.' should be used as necessary.
  • Spelling can be British or American.
