The Journal follows the latest version of the Chicago Manual of Style.  The first time a book is referred to in the notes, the citation should include the author’s first name (or initial) and last name, title, the place and date of publication, and the publisher (if available).
 
For subsequent citations, please use the author’s last name, the title, and page numbers.  If you are using an abbreviated title, provide the abbreviation in square brackets.

Punctuation and Quotations

Periods and commas precede closing quotation marks. Colons, semicolons, question marks, and exclamation points all follow closing quotation marks unless a question mark or an exclamation point belongs within the quoted matter.
 
For example:
     Take the first line of “To a Skylark”: “hail to thee, blithe spirit!”
     Which of Shakespeare’s characters said, “All the world’s a stage”?

Extended (or block) quotations should be spaced like the main body of the text.  To clarify where block quote starts and ends, please insert <ext> and </ext> tags at the beginning at the end of each quote.
 
The source of a block quotation may be given in parentheses after the final punctuation mark of the quoted material, rather than in a footnote.  No period either precedes or follows the closing parenthesis.
 
For example:
<ext>
Furthermore there are other remarks in those writings that suggest, if only weakly, a genuine distinction between motion and rest.  In the Rules, for example, ‘rest’ is listed as a simple nature, and distinguished from the simple nature of motion (AT X 420). (Garber, Metaphysical Physics, 163-64)
