SOCIAL
JUSTICE STUDIES MAJOR ESSAYS uses the author-date system of documentation,
which consists of parenthetical in-text citations and a reference list.
In-text Citations
In-text
citations include the author and year, and a reference to a specific page or
part of the work if needed (e.g., Shaw 1996, 66). All in-text citations must
have a corresponding entry in the reference list.
Endnotes
Notes are to
be used for further explanation only, not as a substitute for a full reference.
All citations in the notes, including online sources, must follow the
author-year in-text format and have a corresponding entry in the reference
list. Do not refer readers to a website for more information; if you used the
site as a source, indicate the author and year in the note, and provide a full
reference in the reference list.
Designate
notes in the text with a superscript Arabic numeral, and list them as endnotes
after the text and before the reference list. A note giving acknowledgements
should be designated with an asterisk. Example:
1 See Shaw (1999), Davis and Rowe (2003a, 2003b), and the Ontario
Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (2006).
Tables and Figures
Submit tables
and figures in black print only.
A source is required for
all tables and figures. The source should follow the author-page style, with
full information provided in the reference list. If the data were compiled from
numerous sources or surveys, the source note may read "author's
compilation." For example:
Source: Author (year).
Notes to tables and figures
follow a specific order. General
notes apply to the entire table, and often include abbreviations.
They are followed by specific notes, which refer to a particular row, column,
or cell. Specific notes
are designated by superscript letters. If the same note applies to more than
one row, column, or cell, use the same superscript letter in the appropriate
locations throughout the table. Probability notes come last, and are designated
with asterisks. Example:
Notes: Revenues are in 2003 US dollars.

References
The reference
list provides full documentation for all citations in the text, tables,
figures, and endnotes. Only sources that have been cited in the paper should
appear in the references.
The reference
list is organized alphabetically by author. For each reference, list the names
of up to ten authors. Multiple works by the same author(s) are listed in
chronological order.
