The preferred style of the journal is to place citations in footnotes, with a full citation with first entry and abbreviations for subsequent entries. No separate Works Cited or Bibliography section is included. Footnotes should be indented.
However, in-text notes may be used if this is the main standard for the discipline for the article submitted. In that case a complete "References" section must be included at the end of the article.
In both cases, the Journal follows the standards set for citations in The Chicago Manual of Style.
Note that all Chinese publications should cite the original Chinese book, article, journal title in Romanized Chinese (pinyin; or in Wade-Giles for works published in Taiwan if this is preferred by the author), followed by an English translation in brackets. (This is true for all foreign language citations: the primary citation is in the foreign language, or a Romanized version, with an English translation following). Translations of titles in brackets are not capitalized.
Submitted manuscripts should be double-spaced with indented paragraphing (with no extra spacing between paragraphs), with a serif font (Times New Roman, Bookman, etc.).
