Help:Citation & Bibilography Format

Citations

• Citations within the text should include the author’s last name and the year of publication, for example [Gottlob, 1992].
• Treat multiple authors as in the following examples:

[Brachman and Schmolze, 1985] (for two authors)

[Baumgartner et al., 2001] (for more than two authors)

• Append lowercase letters to the year in cases of ambiguity: [Levesque, 1984a].
• Collapse multiple citations as follows: [Gottlob et al., 2002; Levesque, 1984a].
• If the author portion of a citation is obvious, omit it, e.g., Nebel [2000].
