Click here for the fully detailed, downloadable copy of our style guide.

Preferred Reference Materials

Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (M-W), 11th edition or online, for spelling (first example)

The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th (CMOS-16) or 17th (CMOS-17) edition, for most other matters

AUTHORS: If you follow another, discipline-specific manual (AAA, APA, MLA) for your manuscript, indicate that style when you submit your manuscript.

Formatting

WGFC uses Chicago Style author-date format (refer to Chapter 15 of the Chicago Manual of Style).

Text should be consistently double-spaced, with the following exceptions: 

  • Block quotations, table titles, and figure captions should be single-spaced.
  • A prose quotation of five or more lines should be blocked.
  • A blocked quotation does not get enclosed in quotation marks.
  • An extra line space should immediately precede and follow a blocked quotation.
  • Blocked quotations should be indented 0.5 inches as a whole.
