Modern Humanities Research AssociationFormerly known as MHRA Style Book, the Modern Humanities Research Association Style Guide is one of the widely-used style guides. It is used for publications and academic essays in the arts and humanities.MHRA Style Guide can be downloaded for free from the official website of the Modern Humanities Research Association. Here are a couple of excerpts from the guide: Thesis/Dissertation NotesUnless local regulations specify otherwise, notes should be numbered in a single sequence throughout each chapter (or section), beginning a new sequence for each chapter, etc. For the placing of note references, see 9.3. The note reference numbers within the text should be typed above the line without punctuation (most word-processing programs will do this automatically). The notes should be placed at the foot of each page, in reduced spacing (use the footnote, not the endnote, function of a word-processing program). If, in exceptional circumstances, it is impossible to do this, the notes should be placed at the end of each chapter, section, etc. It is important to remember that, although a word-processing program will renumber footnotes automatically, most will not change references in the text, and these changes must be made separately by the author.Thesis/Dissertation IndexAlthough not always required by local regulations, the provision of an index of names and subjects is highly desirable, particularly for theses covering a wide range of material or concerned with the work of several authors. An index also is best held in card form until the latest possible moment; page references may then be added to cards when the final typing of the text is complete. |
