A publisher is a person, firm, or corporate body that makes a work available to the public.
The publisher is placed after the title. When using the citation-sequence and the citation-name systems end the publisher information with a semicolon. Use a period when using the name-year system. When using a journal or newspaper title as the publisher's name a period is used in all three systems.
Here are the general guidelines for including publisher titles in the references list.
- Record the publisher name as it appears in the publication (found on the title page), using the capitalization and punctuation that is found there.
- Omit the initial "the" of the publisher's title.
- Do not list more than one publisher.
- For references to journal articles, abbreviate the journal titles using ISO rules.
- For newspaper articles use the newspapers’ entire titles.
