Notes

• Do not reference statistics in common use; this convention applies to most statistics used in journal articles.
• Do give a reference when:
  • Less common statistics are used, especially those that have appeared so recently then can only be found in journals
  • A statistic is used in an unconventional or a controversial way
  • The statistic itself is the focus of the article
• The word ‘Author’ is used as the publisher when the author and publisher are the same.
