UPJA mostly adheres to the style guide of the Australasian Journal of Philosophy. UPJA’s style guide has two key exceptions to this general rule:
Firstly, spelling should adhere to rule 1.9.1. of the Australian Guide to Legal Citation 4, which directs authors to the Macquarie Dictionary before the Oxford English Dictionary.
Secondly, UPJA uses footnotes for citations.
The first instance of a citation should adhere exactly to the AAP’s style guide for bibliographic citations (i.e., how references would appear, collected at the end of an article in the AJP) except dois and other URLs should not excluded and all periods (except the closing period) should be replaced with commas or, where they are adjacent to a comma already (e.g., in the use of ‘eds.,’ in a bibliographic entry for a book chapter), omitted.
Subsequent referencing rules (e.g., the disuse of ‘ibid’, second and third and so-on references to sources, etc.) should conform with the relevant Chicago Style conventions. So, a subsequent reference to a book, when multiple works of the author have been cited, will generally follow the format of ‘AuthorLastName, Short Title, pinpoint’. Similarly, a subsequent reference to a journal article, when multiple works of the author have been cited, will generally follow the format of ‘AuthorLastName, ‘Short Title’, pinpoint’.
Pinpoint references (i.e., references to a specific span of pages) should be included in footnotes, separated from the last bibliographic element by a comma.
Multiple-citation footnotes should feature citations separated by semicolons. When a footnote contains both discursive text and a citation, these elements should be separated by a period. When a footnote contains discursive text and a citation related to the footnote’s discursive text, this citation should be appended to the discursive text following a colon.
Any information that would be included in an in-text citation in an AJP article (e.g., ‘my emphasis’ appended to in-text citation information), the same information should be included in a footnote, following a comma and before the closing period.
Finally, where a bibliographic note would contain a page range (e.g., the first reference to a journal article or book chapter), the page range and related colon should be omitted in the first footnote.
Two sources have been included bellow firstly as they would appear in the bibliography, then as they would appear as the first footnote.
Bibliography: Belnap, Nuel D, Jr (1962) ‘Tonk, Plonk and Plink’, Analysis 22: 130–34. doi:10.1093/analys/22.6.130.
First footnote: Belnap makes a similar argument to my contention here: Belnap, Nuel D, Jr (1962) ‘Tonk, Plonk and Plink’, Analysis 22, 131.
Bibliography: Collins, J, Ned Hall, and L A Paul, eds. (2004) Causation and Counterfactuals. MIT Press.
First footnote: Collins, J, Ned Hall, and LA Paul, eds, (2004) Causation and Counterfactuals, MIT Press, 87. Considerations relating to factualcounters are beyond the scope of this paper.
To answer any lingering questions regarding formatting that are not covered above, refer firstly to past issues of the AJP (e.g., (i), (ii), and (iii) are used for in-text lists in the AJP, although this rule is not articulated in the style guide), secondly to past issues of UPJA, and then to Chicago Style. When all of these sources are silent, use your discretion and be consistent.
Note, however, that manuscripts need not conform to this style on initial submission. Please visit the Submission Guidelines for more general information.
