To assist you in the final preparation of your manuscript, we have collected some representative bibliographic items to illustrate the form in which these should be presented.

Book, single author

Holt, John. How Children Fail. New York: Dell Publishing Co., 1964.

Book, multiple authors

Romberg, Thomas R., John G. Harvey, James M. Moser, and Mary E. Montgomery. Developing Mathematical Processes. Chicago: Rand McNally, 1976.

Note that the first author's name is inverted but that the second and subsequent names follow normal order. Also note that full first names and middle initials are used--not just initials.

 

Journal article

Mounteer, Gail B., and Robert J. Cermele. "The Role of the Instructor in the Individualized Classroom." Two-Year College Mathematics Journal 9 (November 1978):276-81.

Note that the volume number follows the journal name and that the month and year follow in parentheses. Inclusive page numbers come after the colon. The issue number is not included.

 

Chapter in a book

Thom, Rene. "Modern Mathematics: Does It Exist?" In Developments in Mathematical Education, edited by Geoffrey Howson, pp. 194-212. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1973.

Unpublished dissertation

Kesler, Reuben. "Teachers' Instructional Behavior Related to Their Conceptions of Teaching and Mathematics and Their Level of Dogmatism: Four Case Studies." Ph.D. diss., University of Georgia, 1985.

Published dissertation

McGalliard, William A., Jr. Selected Factors in the Conceptual Systems of Geometry Teachers: Four Case Studies. Ph.D. diss., University of Georgia, 1982. Dissertation Abstracts International 44 (1983):1364A.

Additional examples can, of course, be found in the journal itself. Authors preparing extensive bibliographies may wish to refer to chapter 15 of the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1993), available at many libraries.

We hope that you will find these guidelines useful.
