China Quarterly

Hi guys,

Can anybody of the experts point me to an existing style that is reasonable close to the CQ requirements? Thanks!

References should be placed in the footnotes in the author/date format, and in full in the References section at the end of the article.

In footnotes
Sources are cited in footnotes by the author's surname, the publication date of the work cited, and a page number if necessary (page numbers should be given for all quotations). Full details are given in the reference list (under the heading References). Place the footnote indicator at the appropriate point in the text, usually at the end of the sentence after punctuation.

One author
Duckett 2010.
Duckett 2010, 54.
Up to three authors
O’Brien and Li 2006.
Liu, He and Wu 2008, 23–24.

Four authors or more
He et al. 2010

Several references
Separate the references with semicolons. If citing more than one work by an author, do not repeat the name:
Rozelle 1991, 1996; Duckett 2010.
Rozelle 1991, 1996, 84; Duckett 2010, 54–55.
Lu 2000a, 2000b, 82; Duckett 2010, 9.

Within a sentence in a footnote
In a sentence the date and page will be placed after the author’s name between brackets:
As Duckett (2010, 67) points out, “quoted text.”

Authors with same surname
Wang, Hufeng 2009; Wang, Shaoguang 1995.
Williams, Peter 2012; Williams, Bob 2008.
Williams, Peter, and Wang 2003.

No author
Cite first few words of title plus the year.

Organization as author
The organization can be listed under its abbreviation so that the footnote citation is shorter. If this is the case, alphabetize the reference under the abbreviation rather than the full name:
In footnote: WHO 2012.

In the reference list: WHO (Word Health Organization). 2012. Title …

Author with two works in the same year
Put a, b, c after the year
(Chen 2011a, 2011b)

Subsequent citations: Interview, Liu Chien-kuo.
Anonymous interviewee: Interview with central-level official, Beijing, January 2007.
Subsequent citations: Interview with central-level official.

Unknown date
Williams n.d.
Williams forthcoming.
Several editions
List the date of the edition used first, followed by original date in square brackets:
Author 1983 [1890].

Two or more consecutive references to the same work
Use Ibid. followed by page(s) if they differ:
