Specific remarks:

• In case that we quote unaltered excerpt from a book or article, is inserted in quotation marks (for the recesses of the excerpt and for other guidelines s. «General Guidelines L.R.P.Ph.») and we add to the footnote, the details of the source & the number of the page where the quotation is located, according to the instructions.

• We note: p. (for only one page) & pp. (for more) with a hyphen in between if the pages are consecutive or with comma if not.

• In case of a reference following right after the first citation of a book or article, we note ‘Ibid.’ (in italics) and we insert the number of the page.

e.g. Ibid., p. 85.

• Repeated references: If the same reference is repeated many times in a text, then the first time we write it in full and the next times as follows:

e.g. Arendt, H., 2009, op.cit.

nb: If the page/s of the new reference is/are exactly the same as the one preceded, there is no need to be written again. Otherwise, we add the new page.

• When the author uses extensively references from some texts, after the first appearance of the reference, afterwards the reference is included inside the text in parenthesis with the title in abbreviation & italics.

Namely:

The first appearance of the reference in footnote appears like this:

Arendt, H., The human condition, London: The University of Chicago Press, 1958 (from now on in parenthesis inside the text: H.C.)

The second & the following references appear in the text in parenthesis, like this:

(H.C., 18-26)

• If the author wants to mention the first edition of a book, this must be indicated at the end of the footnote and in the bibliographical references -at the end of the article- as well, like this:

e.g.  Dumont, L., Essais sur l’individualisme. Une perspective anthropologique sur l’idéologie moderne, Paris: Seuil, col. Points, 2003. (1^st edition 1983).

• Up to three authors:

The names of authors are separated by commas and the order of names is maintained exactly as they appear in the original citation

e.g. Rouget, B., Sagot-Duvauroux, D., Pflieger, S., Le marché de l'art contemporain, prix et stratégies, Paris: La Documentation française, 1991.

• For more than three authors, the first author is written and then follows the Latin abbreviation ‘et al.’

e.g. Abecassis, F., et al., La France et l'Algérie: leçons d'histoire. De l'école en situation coloniale à l'enseignement du fait colonial, Lyon: INRP, 2008.

• If we have a double reference, it will be indicated as «reference to:», and each reference will follow the instructions of the category it belongs (journal, book etc.).

e.g. journal: Sommers, C., H., «Teaching the Virtues», Imprimis, 20, 1991, reference to: Gould, J., B., «Better Hearts: Teaching Applied Virtue Ethics», Teaching Philosophy, 25, 2002.

nb: In the footnote appears  the specific page/s of the chapter to which the reference is made, while in the bibliography, at the end of the article, all the pages of the particular chapter must appear.

• Many consecutive references are separated by slash and not a comma, according to the following example:
