Additional criteria

Avoid the use of latin expressions ((op. cit.; id.; idem.; ibid.; ibidem.; loc. cit.; art. cit.)since these might have been used in
previous pages, which can confuse the reader. Instead, for subsequent footnotes of the same source, use the author’s last name, an abbreviated title y the page number.

For example, a subsequent note of:

Herbert Fingarette, “The Music of Humanity in the Conversations of Confucius”, Journal of Chinese Philosophy 10, (1983): 331-56.

Would be:
Fingarette, “The Music of Humanity in the Conversations of Confucius”, 331-56. In the case of short titles, subsequent
footnotes will not need abbreviations

For example, a subsequent note of:

Julia Ching, Mysticism and Kingship in China: The Heart of Chinese Wisdom (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press,
1997). 40-54.

Would be:

Ching, Mysticism and Kingship in China:The Heart of Chinese Wisdom, 45.

Use brackets ([ ]) in the footnotes for translations made by the author; in such cases, insert [author’s translation] at the end of the reference, right before the period. Brackets are also used in footnotes to express who emphasizes a phrase or word. Another way to show emphasis is through italics, as long as the footnote includes [emphasis added]. This indicates the reader that emphasis was added in the textual citation.

References for Spanish publications use capitalization only in the first letter of the title. On the other hand, titles in English are capitalized completely except for prepositions, articles and coordinating conjunctions.
