Place all citations of published material at the end of the manuscript under references. Material not cited in the text should not appear in the references. Cite all authors in the references; do not use et al. Citations are alphabetical by author's last name. When citing more than one reference by the same author, cite the oldest publication first. A four-character dash indicates multiple references by the same author. The second and following lines of references should start under the 5th character of the author's name, eg: Stuiver, M and Kra, RS, eds 1983 Internatl 14C conf, 11th, Proc. Radiocarbon 25(2): 171–796.
Stuiver, M and Kra, RS, eds 1986 Internatl 14C conf, 12th, Proc. Radiocarbon 28(2A): 175–804.
List individual authors first followed by those with co-authors, eg: Stuiver, M 1982 A high-precision calibration of the AD radiocarbon time scale. Radiocarbon 24(1):1–26.
Stuiver, M and Pearson, GW 1986 High-precision calibration of the radiocarbon time scale, AD 1950–500 bc. In Stuiver, M and Kra, RS, eds, Internatl 14C conf, 12th, Proc. Radiocarbon 28(2B): 805–838.
Following is our new reference format for: 1) Article in a periodical: Author's surname, initials of given name, year of publication (no commas before or after), title. Name of periodical (in italics or underlined) volume (number): inclusive pages, eg:
Vogel, JS, Nelson, DE and Southon, JR 1989 Accuracy and precision in dating microgram carbon samples. Radiocarbon 31(2): 145–149.
2) Book citation: Same as above for authors and year. Italicize title of book. Place of publication, publisher: number of pages, eg:
Broecker, WS and Peng, T-H 1982 Tracers in the sea. Palisades, New York, Eldigio Press: 690 p.
3) Article in edited Proceedings:
The citation should follow the examples of Stuiver and Pearson, above and Becker and Schmidt, below.
List all authors in the reference. If an author is not given, list the organization as author.
Works “in press” must actually be in press, ie, accepted by a journal. “In press” should follow the citation when the date of publication is known. When date of publication is not known, “in press” should replace the date
Becker, B and Schmidt, B, in press, Extension of the European oak chronology to the past 9224 years. In Mook, WG and Waterbolk, HT, eds, Internatl symposium Archaeology and 14C, 2nd, Proc. PACT.
If an author confidently expects to publish a manuscript before the galley proof is returned, he/she may use blank page numbers (000–000). Place (ms) after the authors and before the date (if known) for a manuscript that has been submitted but is not yet accepted. Cite an unpublished manuscript such as a doctoral dissertation or a manuscript in preparation in the same manner, eg:
Roeleveld, W (ms) 1974 The Groningen coastal area. PhD dissert, Amsterdam: 252 p.
Kra, R (ms) Paleoenvironmental data retrieval from the International Radiocarbon Data Base (IRDB). In preparation.
For a paper presented at a conference that has not been published, give the author (ms) year and title followed by, eg:
Paper presented at Internatl 14C conf, 13th, Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, June 20–25.
