Journal of Vietnamese Studies Reference Guidelines Journal of Vietnamese Studies bases these guidelines primarily on The Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed., 2003) and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th ed., 2003). Where no rule is present here, follow the 15th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. GENERAL GUIDELINES a. Endnotes should be ordered 1., 2., 3., and so forth (NOT i, ii, iii). b. Do not write “p.” or “pp.” to indicate page number unless necessary to avoid ambiguity, as is sometimes the case in citing archival documents. For books and parts of books, precede page number(s) with a comma and a space. For periodicals and journal articles, precede page number(s) with a colon and a space. For sections of particular volumes, precede page number(s) with colon only. c. Italicize titles of books and names of journals (do not underline). d. Use colons, not semicolons or periods, to indicate shift from title to subtitle. e. Abbreviate “edition” as “ed.” / “volume” as “vol.” / “volumes” as “vols.” / “translated” as “trans.” f. Although JVS requires spelling to adhere to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, titles and quoted text should retain original spelling and punctuation, including Vietnamese words spelled without diacritical marks on original documents. g. Do not put endnote callout numbers on the title of your article, section heads, or the name of the article author. Place them after the nearest hard punctuation (e.g., period, question mark, exclamation point, quotation marks) or at the end of block quotations. h. Do not insert a character space between the initials in an author’s name (see example notes 57, 58, 60). i. If possible, use en-dashes (–) to indicate ranges in numbers (page numbers, years). For example, “Ibid., 2–4” rather than “Ibid., 2-4.” Do not elide (abbreviate) page ranges. ENDNOTES THE SHORT FORM/Chicago 16.42–16.45 Use the short form; the first citation of each source should include all the relevant information, and subsequent citations should include only the author’s last name (see below for exceptions), a shortened version of the title (strive for five words or less), and page number(s), if called for. All subsequent citations should use the identical shortened information. Do not use “op. cit.” or “loc. cit.” SHORT FORM, AUTHOR NAME(S) With names in which the family name is ordered first, the full name should be cited in later references. 1. Mạc Đường, “Nguồn gốc lịch sử và di cư của người Mán ở Việt Nam” [The Historical Origins and Migration of the Mán in Vietnam], Nghiên Cứu Lịch Sử [Historical Research] (NCLS) 5 (July 1959): 81–86. 2. Mạc Đường, “Nguồn gốc,” 83. With names in which the family name is ordered last, only the family name should be cited in later references, unless there are two or more authors with the same family name in the article. In that case, indicate the initials of the authors’ given names. 3. Jean Ajalbert, L’Indochine par les français [Indochine by the French] (Paris: Librairie Gallimard, 1931), 24–25. 4.

ABBREVIATIONS Titles of works, journal titles, or archives with long names can be shortened to an acronym or abbreviation in subsequent references that number more than three. They should be spelled out in the first instance; simply note that an abbreviation will be used in later references by including the abbreviation in parentheses, with full capitals and no punctuation except when necessary for clarity. If the abbreviation is for the title of a book, journal, or newspaper, the abbreviation should be set in italic-face type. 11. Mạc Đường, “Nguồn gốc lịch sử và di cư của người Mán ở Việt Nam” [The Historical Origins and Migration of the Mán in Vietnam], Nghiên Cứu Lịch Sử [Historical Research] (NCLS) 5 (July 1959): 81–86. 12. “Tổng Kết Công trình làm lại đường xe lửa Hà Nội—Mục Nam Quan” [Summary of the Project to Rebuild the Hà Nội—Mục Nam Quan Rail-Line], Nhân Dân Nguyệt San [The People’s Monthly] (NDNS), no. 2 (1955): 62. FOR MORE EXAMPLES, SEE NOTES 1, 47. IBID./ Chicago 16.47 The abbreviation “ibid.” refers to a single work cited in the note immediately preceding.
