Additional formatting guidelines for individual parts of a bibliography entry:

• Author: Last name first, followed by a period. With regards to initials and full name usage, the author’s name should appear as it does on the title page of the work being cited. For example, if the author’s name appears on the title page as Anthony T. Boyle, Ph.D. should appear as Boyle, Anthony T.
