Shortened Notes

(Section 16.4.1, pages 164-166, 9th edition)

Shortened notes should be used for all notes following the initial, full note.

The 9th edition of A Manual for Writers lists two options for shortened notes - author-only and author-title notes. Depending on instructor preference and/or discipline, author-title only, or use of both styles of shortened notes may be used and considered correct. Writers using both styles commonly use author-only for the majority of shortened citation, except in instances when multiple works by the same author (or multiple authors with the same last name) are used, in which case author-title is used. Page numbers a required for all styles of notes (shortened and full) when available, and instructors should always be consulted for individual preferences.

Examples:

     1. Alexander B. Murphy, Geography: Why it Matters (Cambridge, UK: Polity Press, 2018), 78.
