We generally avoid the use of honorific titles when referring to people, favoring the use of the last name or other commonly used name, unless the context requires the title to distinguish the person from another. Thus, after mentioning "Olaf III, King of Sweden", refer to "Olaf" or "Olaf III" rather than "King Olaf III". Similarly, use "Einstein" in preference to "Dr. Einstein" or "Prof. Einstein", except when making a point by using the title. | We generally avoid the use of honorific titles when referring to people, favoring the use of the last name or other commonly used name, unless the context requires the title to distinguish the person from another.

We tend to follow the ''Chicago Manual of Style'' for citations, although we prefer writing the authors' names in natural rather than collation order; we won't fuss provided the necessary information is clearly presented. For reference, see [http://library.osu.edu/sites/guides/chicagogd.html Chicago Manual of Style Citation Guide] (use "Notes-Bibliography Style") or [http://memory.loc.gov/learn/start/cite/index.html How to Cite Electronic Sources]. | ||
