Simple citations of sources should be done by using in-line parenthetical references, as follows: (Smith 1992a: 234-236; R. Miller 1990: 15, 18). Date is omitted if only one work by the author is listed in the bibliography. The author's name is omitted if it is referred to in the body of the paper. Note that full page numbers should be used, even for consecutive page references. Footnotes should be numbered sequentially; they should be kept to a minimum and used only for discussion of content.
