About this book

Bibliography and Footnotes: A Style Manual for Students and Writers serves as a guide for scholarly writers, providing techniques and conventions essential for the accurate citation of sources. The manual underscores the importance of documenting sources to acknowledge the author's reliance on them, invite scrutiny, and support interpretations and conclusions. Bibliography and footnotes serve complementary purposes: bibliographies offer detailed references to works consulted, while footnotes provide specific citations tied to the text. By clearly distinguishing these functions, the manual ensures citations are meaningful and intelligible, emphasizing clarity, conciseness, consistency, and accuracy. A consistent style of citation aids the reader in identifying and locating cited works without ambiguity, regardless of disciplinary differences in format preferences. The manual acknowledges variations in citation practices across fields, from the detailed references of humanities to the abbreviated styles of scientific and legal works. While offering a standard method for citation, it also accommodates modifications tailored to individual needs and subject requirements, provided these adhere to sound bibliographical principles. Writers are urged to adopt a systematic approach to recording references, avoiding common pitfalls like incomplete author names or publication details. Precision and consistency in citations not only save time but also reflect the rigor essential to scholarly work. The manual, therefore, is not just a technical guide but also a resource for cultivating habits of thoroughness and accuracy in academic writing, fostering both reliability and credibility. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1949.
