  The list is arranged by the author's surname, or title if no author is given.
 Only the author's initials are included regardless of the presentation of the
author's name in the source document. The given name may be cited in full if it is
needed to correctly identify the author; for example, where different authors have
the same surname and initials.
 Include the names of all authors unless the authors number more than
twenty, in this case include the first nineteen authors' names, then insert three
ellipses and follow with the final author's name.
 Authors' names are given in the order in which they appear on the source
document - do not rearrange the names of the authors of a multi-authored work
into alphabetical order
 Capitalization practice should be consistent.
 Titles and subtitles of journal articles, book parts and book titles are given
minimal capitalization. Only the first letter of the first word of the title (and
subtitle, if given) and those words that normally have an initial capital (proper
nouns) are capitalized.
 Journal titles are given maximal capitalization. All words other than prepositions,
conjunctions, and definite and indefinite articles (a, an, the) are capitalized.
 Journal and book titles are italicized when typed, or underlined when
handwritten.
 A hanging indent for each reference makes the alphabetical sequence more
obvious.
 if the date is unknown (n.d.) is used in its place. example Mendeley, J.A (n.d.)
