Department of Psychology, Keele University, Keele, Staffordshire ST5 5BG, UK; Fax: +44 1782 583387xj.hartley{at}psy.keele.ac.uk

References at the end of journal articles are typically printed in one of three or four major referencing styles, together with hundreds of different ways of presenting the elements within the references themselves. This paper suggests that greater clarity could be achieved by choosing between one of two major referencing styles, and using an agreed setting for the elements within both of them.

Key Words: references • styles • typography
