JEH Instructions for Authors
Federal regulation
Example: Radionuclides Rule, 40 C.F.R. § 9, 141, and 142 (2000). This format the standard in APA style. Note that it identifies regulations by title rather than author. Nevertheless, we recognize that sometimes the author of a given regulation is important to include. If you wish to identify the author, the following deviation from APA style is permitted: Example: Radionuclides Rule (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), 40 C.F.R. § 9, 141, and 142 (2000). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which is the author of this regulation, is given in parentheses after the title of the regulation. Please note that it is still important to provide the title of the regulation. In text, the regulation should be cited by title, as follows: (Radionuclides Rule, 2000). Non-English language source: Cite the English translations of the author and title, with the source’s original language noted in brackets. Example: Ministry of Public Health. (2018.) 2nd national survey of risk factors for noncommunicable disease [Website in Spanish]. https://www.gub.uy/ministerio-salud- publica/comunicacion/publicaciones/2da-encuesta-nacional-de-factores-de-riesgo-de- enfermedades-no Electronic references The 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual provides extensive instructions on formatting electronic references. Example: Minnesota Department of Health. (2001). Minnesota blood lead surveillance data, 1999–2000 . www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/lead/reports/surveillane/data1999_2000.pdf Keep the following principles in mind when citing electronic sources: Every citation to a web source should provide a date of publication. In the rare cases when no date of publication can be found on a website, you can indicate that circumstance with the letters “n.d.” Example: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. (n.d.). Best management practices . http://www.epa.gov/ebtpages/pollbestmanagementpractices.html Include as many details as possible in references to electronic or Internet sources (e.g., always include document or report numbers and authors’ names, when available).
