Publisher
-
Do not confuse the publisher and the printer.
-
Do not include unnecessary and unwieldy parts of the publisher's
name, such as & co., ltd., press, & associates etc.
-
Some examples:
Phaidon (NOT Phaidon Press Limited)
Longman
Penguin
HAUM
Methuen
Nasou
Van Nostrand
McGraw-Hill
Routledge & Kegan Paul (note the use of the ampersand
"&")
-
If no publisher can be found, use s.n. (sine
nomine). [Use italics for the Harvard method].
-
NB. University presses: note that there is a difference
between a work published by Oxford University Press or by
Oxford University.
-
NB. Publishers are not always commercial undertakings.
They may be government or corporate bodies (e.g. UNESCO,
World Health Organisation, Organisation for African Unity,
African National Congress, etc.).
