- Quotes: If your direct quote is longer than 40 characters it should be indented (and quotes are not included around the actual quote)
- The use of & and "and". & is used in all references where there are multiple authors, and when the citation is in brackets in the text. "and" only occurs when the citation occurs as part of a sentence.
