I.B. Tauris publishers House Style?

Does anyone know what style is closest to the IB Tauris house style of endnotes?

Their own style guideline sheet is as follows:

"Style points

Give the author’s first name in full to prevent possible confusion with another with the
same initial(s).

The title of a book, journal or newspaper should be italicised and have significant
capitals (i.e. an initial capital for all words except ‘in’, ‘the’, ‘a’, etc. Ensure that any
comma that follows is not in italics.

The title of an article or chapter in an edited volume should be given in single quotes
and in lower case after the initial word, with the title of the publication from which it is
taken italicised.

When citing a book, it is essential to give place and date of publication; the name of the
publisher can also be given if so wished (but consistently). If you are giving the names of
American states (to follow the city, not on its own) for the place of publication, ensure
that the style used is consistent throughout. E.g. ‘California’, ‘Calif.’ or ‘CA’.

Differentiate between a work published in several volumes (Encyclopaedia of Islam, Vol.
6) and a periodical that uses volume numbers (see the Lidner example below).

Examples
1. Christopher S. Wren, ‘Moscow’s foreign policy fortunes’, International Herald
Tribune, 10 September 1976.
2. Altaf Gauhar, Ayub Khan and Military Rule in Pakistan 1958–1969 (London, 1993).
3. David Phillips, ‘Riots and public order in the Black Country’, in R. Quinault and J.
Stevenson (eds), Popular Protest and Public Order (London, 1974).
4. Robert P. Lidner, ‘What was a nomadic tribe?’, Comparative Studies in Society and
History xxiv/4 (1982), pp. 689–711.

Short forms
In endnotes, when a work is cited for the first time in each chapter in the notes, give the
reference in full in the form detailed above. If a note refers to the same source as the
immediately preceding citation, use ‘ibid.’, with a page reference if required. For later
references that are not immediately adjacent in the Notes, use the short-title system:
5. Gauhar, Ayub Khan, pp. 13–18.
6. Ibid., p. 27.
7. Phillips, ‘Riots and public order’, pp. 75–9.

Reports
If you are using law reports, parliamentary papers, etc. be especially careful to ensure
consistency.
For government reports, use the name of the government department if there is no
obvious author; do not use HMSO. If you think it will be helpful to the reader, list
manuscript sources separately from published works.

Electronic references
Electronic references should be included in the Notes and/or Bibliography (i.e. not
placed in the main text) and should include additional details as outlined here.
Authors and copyeditors should check that they are all up to date and correct. If any are
no longer functional and the reference absolutely cannot be changed for an alternative,
indicate ‘Link no longer working.’ or similar at the end of the reference.
A book, part of a book, a journal, or a journal article which has been published and is
also available on the internet should contain the usual reference details followed by the
URL with the access date in brackets.

For example:
1. Mike Franks, The Internet Publishing Handbook: for World-Wide Web, Gopher, and
WAIS (Reading, Massachusetts: Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1995).
Available at www.sscnet.ucla.edu/ssc/franks/book (accessed 27 June 2012).
If the reference is to a book, part of a book, journal or journal article but was published
only on the internet then the entry should be as above but without the place name and
publisher.

If the reference is to a message on a discussion board or social network, the entry should
be as follows, giving the relevant site/forum name to replace the square brackets:
1. Author, ‘Subject of message’ (year), [Name of discussion board/social network.]
Available at www.url.com/extension (accessed 1 August 2011).
If the reference is to a personal email message, first make sure that the sender is happy
to have their message and email address published and, if so, style reference as follows:
Author, ‘Subject of message’ (30 July 2012). Online. Email: author@org.com."
