Referencing and Bibliography
The journal uses the Harvard style of referencing and bibliography format, which should be consistent throughout your manuscript.
References in the text
For in text referencing the following applies (author surname, year, page number).
Common Examples
If you mention the authors name in the text in terms of a general comment:
Michael Freeden (1996) refers to this crucial process as ‘decontestation’.
If you mention the authors name and quote/phrase directly:
As Freeden (2003, pp.54-55) states ‘An ideology attempts to end the
inevitable contention over concepts by decontesting them, by removing
their meanings from contest’.
Or:
The inevitable contention over concepts is deconstructed by ideologies
through removing their meanings from contest, thus bringing them to an
end. This is particularly argued in the work of Freeden (2003, pp.54-55).
Alternatively, a small selection of affiliated authors can be listed after a general statement in the following way:
Far from being distortions fated to disappear with the emergence of
rational political orders, ideologies are indispensable ideational systems
that shape and direct human communities in specific ways (See Ricoeur,
1986; Steger, 2005, Ch.1).
List of References (bibliography)
The list of references should be placed at the end of the manuscript after the main body of text, or, if applicable, after the endnotes. The references should be listed in alphabetical order by second name. The following format applies:
Author, Initials/First name., Year. Title of book. Edition. Place of
publication: Publisher.
