3.1.5. Facts of publication

See Section 2.3.5. for more detail. Note that in a bibliographic reference the facts of publication are not put in parentheses.

• Indicate the city where the book or article was published, as it appears on the title page.

• As in footnotes and endnotes, the name of the publisher may be abbreviated. University presses are an exception—the word “Press” should not be omitted from them.

• Cite the year of publication as given on the copyright page (reverse of the title page). Look for the date with the publisher’s imprint; if there is more than one date given, use the most recent one. Follow with a period.
