II. How to Complete a Bibliography

A. Categorized Bibliographies

Entries should be identified by categories, such as: Books, Monographs, Published Research Papers, Published Articles, Abstracts, and Book Reviews. Since categories will vary among the disciplines, departments may wish to adopt their own categories. The Council on Academic Personnel prefers bibliographic items by category. See examples below:


Smith, R.

Smith, R., Jones, H., and Jackson, K., "A Study of the Perodian Process," J. Chem. Phys., 14:325-30 (1984) (RESEARCH PAPER)
