Well-known reference books, such as major dictionaries and encyclopedias (e.g. Encyclopaedia Britannica), are normally cited only in notes and not in bibliographies. (See example 1 below.)
Other lesser-known encyclopedias and dictionaries should include publication details in both notes and a bibliography. (See example 2 below)
Authored entries may be cited using individual entries by author, similar to contributions to a multi-author book, and should also be included in a bibliography. (See examples 3 and 4 in chart below)
In a physical edition , the edition number (if not the first) and the date the volume or set was issued must be specified.
References to an alphabetically arranged work cite the item (not the volume or page number) after the abbreviation s.v. (s.v. = sub verbo and refers to the specific entry in the dictionary or encyclopedia)
