Facts of publication
Parenthetical citations–reference list style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

The facts of publication usually include two elements: the place (city) of publication and the publisher's name. (A third fact of publication, the date, appears as a separate element following the author's name in this citation style; see 19.1.2.)

R: Diamond, Jared. 1997. Guns, germs, and steel: The fates of human societies. New York: W. W. Norton and Company.

For books published before the twentieth century, or for which the information does not appear within the work, you may omit these facts of publication.

R: Lamb, Charles. 1823. Essays of Elia.

PLACE OF PUBLICATION. The place of publication is the city where the publisher's main editorial offices are located; it normally appears on the title page, but sometimes on the copyright page. Where two or more cities are given (“Chicago and London,” for example), include only the first.

Los Angeles: J. Paul Getty Trust Publications

New York: Columbia University Press

If the city of publication might be unknown to readers or confused with another city of the same name, add the abbreviation of the state (see 24.3.1), province, or (if necessary) country. When the publisher's name includes the state name, no state abbreviation is needed.

Cheshire, CT: Graphics Press

Harmondsworth, UK: Penguin Books

Cambridge, MA: MIT Press

Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press

Use current, commonly used English names for foreign cities.

Belgrade (not Beograd)

Milan (not Milano)

When the place of publication is not known, you may use the abbreviation N.p. before the publisher's name. If the place can be surmised, include it with a question mark, in brackets.

N.p.: Windsor.

[Lake Bluff, IL?]: Vliet & Edwards.

PUBLISHER'S NAME. Give the publisher's name for each book exactly as it appears on the title page, even if you know that the name has since changed or is printed differently in different books in your reference list.

Harcourt Brace and World

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich

Harcourt, Brace

To save space, however, you may omit an initial The and such abbreviations as Inc., Ltd, S.A., Co., & Co., and Publishing Co.

University of Texas Press

instead of

The University of Texas Press

Houghton Mifflin

instead of

Houghton Mifflin Co.

Little, Brown

instead of

Little, Brown & Co.

For foreign publishers, do not translate or abbreviate any part of the publisher's name, but give the city name in its English form (as noted above). When the publisher is unknown, use just the place (if known) and date of publication.
