REPORT FROM THE HO EDITOR

For the editorial staff, perhaps the most frustrating aspect of getting an accepted manuscript ready for publication is conforming the references to correct journal style. An editorial in the Fall 1999 issue of Human Organization
(58:349-350) detailed the journal’s reference style and gave examples. Still, authors frequently ignore these guidelines, submitting their references in every style known to the publishing world—and some never before seen by (wo)man or beast. Assuming this problem results from our “failure to communicate,” specific examples of how to properly present commonly encountered types of references are presented below.
For reference types not presented below, please consult recent issues of Human Organization; when in doubt include all information necessary to located the source.
Authors should realize that manuscripts that do not follow specified style may be returned to them for correction, thereby delaying publication.
Please remember that References Cited should begin on a separate page, be double spaced, and listed alphabetically by authors’ last name and chronologically whenever the same author is cited two or more times. Authors’ first name and middle initial should be given, unless initials in the cited work identify them.
