Frequently asked questions

How do I enter several authors?

Separate them with semicolons: 'Jane Doe; John Smith' or 'Doe, Jane; Smith, John'.

Why are titles shown with asterisks?

Plain text can't carry italics. Asterisks mark the part to italicize (book, journal or website names).

Is this checked against style guides?

It applies the core rules of each style. Always double-check capitalization of titles and special cases in your style guide.
