Style Guide - King's College London

Department of English Language and Literature, King’s College London

S TYLE G UIDE (S UMMARY )

The Department of English Language and Literature recommends the use of the MHRA style guide, freely available online. http://www.mhra.org.uk/Publications/Books/StyleGuide/index.html

It is worthwhile downloading the full guide as a pdf for free (click on ‘Style Guide pdf’ link in right column of webpage above). Chapter Ten is the most useful but you will benefit greatly by reading the whole thing.

The following is a summary of the information you will need.

Formatting quotes

Quotes of fewer than 30 words or so are included in the body of the essay and surrounded by single quotation marks. For quotes within quotes use double quotation marks.

Veronica Smith claims the author ‘always liked cats’, but also notes ‘she would inevitably scream

“Get out!” when the local hamster put in an appearance’.

Note the comma/full-stop comes after the closing quotation mark.

Longer quotes are indented, after a colon [:] and without quotation marks.

Munro is well known for her ability to set a scene:

Then my father and I walk gradually down a long, shabby sort of street, with

Silverwoods Ice Cream signs standing on the sidewalk, outside tiny, lighted stores. This is Tuppertown, an old town on Lake Huron, an old grain port.

The sounds of the lake at night are ever-present in the story.

Note that even if the quote is extracted from a character’s speech (i.e. the whole thing is in a single set of quotation marks in the original) you still don’t need quotation marks around the indented quote. Only use quotation marks within an indented quote (i.e. for quotes within the main quote).

Footnote reference number

Any quoting or paraphrasing of another writer’s work must be footnoted. In Microsoft Word, this is a matter of clicking ‘Insert Footnote’ under the ‘References’ tag. Click so that the number appears after punctuation and ideally at the end of the sentence (if necessary, the footnote itself can contain references to more than one text). Remember this order: end-quotation, punctuation, footnote.

Please use footnotes, not endnotes, for your essays, as these are easier for examiners to consult when marking work online. And via the footnote and endnote options function please ensure footnote numbers are Arabic rather than Roman numerals (i.e. 7 not vii).

First and subsequent references to the same text

The first time you footnote a text you should provide full details as per the information provided below, but the second and subsequent times you footnote the same text, you can abbreviate the information. The author’s surname will do; but if you have cited two works by the same author, also include an abbreviated version of the book/chapter/article title (e.g. Palmer, p. 93 OR Palmer,

‘Victorians’, p. 93).

Please do not use terms such as ibid and op cit .

The first time you refer to a primary text (see section 8 of the Essay Writing Guide), you should provide a footnote reference giving full publication details, followed by the statement: ‘All further references to this edition are given after quotations in the text’. You may then add page numbers or

Act and Scene numbers in parentheses as they are required in your essay.

Remember that all footnotes are counted towards your word-count, so abbreviating footnotes reduces their incursion on your word limit.

Format of footnote references

The way you present information about your sources in footnotes varies according to the form of the publication you are referring to (e.g. a single-authored volume, a chapter from a multi-authored volume, an article in a scholarly journal, a website etc.). See below for the footnote templates of the main forms of publication you will refer to.

Hard-copy book by a single author

Author’s full name as given on title page, Title (Place: Publisher, year), p. 1/pp. 5-6

David Newsome, The Victorian World Picture: Perceptions and Introspections in an Age of Change

(London: John Murray, 1997), p. 11.

Note: capitalise all main words in the title and subtitle; separate the title and subtitle with a colon; put a space between p. and the page number; and end with a full-stop. When referencing a passage that continues over more than one page, use pp. (e.g. pp. 18-19).

If the publisher is a university press, spell out the name in full, e.g. Oxford University Press ( not

OUP; Oxford UP).

E-book by a single author

Author’s full name as given on title page, Title (Place: Publisher, year), e-book format, location information

Andrew O’Hagan , The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe (London:

Faber, 2010), Kindle DX Version, p. 5.

If there is no publisher information available, include the Digital Object Identifier and/or the source of your download.

Andrew O’Hagan, The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe [Kindle

DX version], p. 5; <www.amazon.co.uk> [accessed 30 March 2012].

If at all possible, include page numbers. This is crucial in guarding against plagiarism. If you press

‘menu’ on your Kindle you can access a page number/and or location number. Please include one of these in your footnotes. If no page or location numbers are available, you should identify the major sections: Chapter, Section, Paragraph (eg Chapter 5, Section 2, para. 5).

Chapter in a book by multiple authors

Author’s full name as given on contents page, ‘Title of Chapter’, in Book Title , ed. by Editor’s full name as given on title page (Place: Publisher, year), full page range of chapter (page where quote appears).

Maria Absolut, ‘Gin, Tonic, and the Raj’, in Elephant Walk: New Essays in Postcolonial Studies , ed. by Gordon Juniper (New York: Routledge, 2001), pp. 6-18 (p. 7).

Note the need for both the full page range of the chapter and the page number of the quote (worth remembering when you are taking notes in the library). If there are up to three editors, give the name of each in full; if more than three, give the full name of the first before adding ‘and others’.

If you subsequently refer to a different chapter in the same book, give the author’s name and title of the chapter in full, but abbreviate information on the book:

Bruce Oz, ‘Beer in the Sun’, in Elephant Walk , ed. by Juniper, pp. 19-25 (p. 21).

Articles in scholarly journal (or ‘series’)

Author’s full name as it appears in the article, ‘Title of Article’, Journal Title , Volume Number.Issue

Number (date), page range of whole article (page where quote appears)

John Jackson Finlandia, ‘Vodka: An Illustrated History’, Drinking Studies , 5.7 (1999), 1-10 (p. 3).

Note: placement of commas; use of Arabic numbers for volume and issue (even where the journal itself uses Roman numerals for these features); do not use ‘p.’ or ‘pp.’ for the page range of the whole article; do use p. or pp. for the actual page(s) from which your quote is drawn.

If there is no issue number, but a month or season is noted on the journal title page, add this to the year information.

Millicent Maid, ‘“Make Mine Milk”: Drinking in British Schools, 1960-1980’, Journal of Liquid

Consumption Studies , 8 (winter 1998), 82-91 (p. 88).

Online versions of articles in scholarly journal (or ‘series’)

If the e-text is formatted the same as the hard-copy version (with page numbers etc.) you may reference it as if you were citing the hard copy. But ideally you should also add the URL (including the protocol—e.g. http—and the date of access) OR the Digital Object Identifier (which is less likely to change, and therefore does not require a date).

The DOI, which is usually in a numerical format, is available on the title page of journal articles sourced via online databases (e.g. JSTOR) along with other metadata.

Title , dir. by Director’s name (Production company, date)

The Blue Lagoon , dir. by Randal Kleiser (Columbia Pictures, 1980).

When quoting from a film it is perfectly acceptable to supply your own transcription of a scene or scenes. Put a footnote the first time quote from a film, referencing it as above, followed by

‘Transcriptions mine’.

Bibliography

The bibliography lists all the texts cited— and only those you have cited —in alphabetical order of the author’s/editor’s director’s surname. It should be composed in a similar manner to the footnotes

 Surname and first-name are reversed for author/editor, with a comma in between surname and first name. For co-authored or co-edited volumes, only the first name is inverted in this way, e.g.

Donovan, Jason, and Kylie Minogue, eds, [etc.]

 Individual pages are not referenced, but page ranges are given for the entire length of articles in scholarly journals and chapters in multi-authored volumes.

 If you have referred to several chapters from the same multi-authored book, you can consider simply giving the reference to the book itself under the editor’s name, followed by , ed., (or , eds, if there is more than one editor).

 There is no full-stop at the end of the citation.

Author-Date? Footnotes? What does this mean?

These terms refer to how and where a citation appears in your work. Author-Date means the citation appears as a surname and year, Footnotes means the citation appears in a footnote at the end of the page, linked to your work by a small superscript number, and Numbered means that citations appear sequentially through the text.

Author-Date (often called Harvard), Footnotes and Numbered both encompass many hundreds of styles in use throughout Academia. They could be seen as 'genres' rather than styles in their own right.

At King's we have chosen three, one from each genre:

• Our Author-Date style is  APA 
• Our Footnotes style is  Chicago 
• Our Numbered style is Vancouver

We also have a Footnotes style specifically for Law:

• Our Footnotes style for Law is Oscola

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Referencing

King's has produced new student guidance on the use of generative AI tools. Students are not expected to reference generative AI but are expected to acknowledge its use through a statement. Please see the central Student Guidance for details. 

Which one should you use?

Check with your tutors and departments if you aren't sure which referencing style you're expected to use when writing your academic assignments.

Every referencing style in use at King's can be found as standard in almost every piece of referencing software available, and they're kept up to date by their respective organisations.

Use the tabs on the left to see more about each referencing style in use at King's.

Writing the personal statement for King's College London: Why you should play to your strengths

King’s College London is a leading institution for higher studies in law, and provides students with an opportunity to broaden their horizons in a vibrant community of intellectuals, students from other jurisdictions, and leading practitioners.

As part of the entry requirements for the LLM program applicants are required to submit a personal statement, English proficiency scores, copies of their academic transcripts, and can optionally submit a CV. This post breaks down how one should go about putting together the personal statement, and includes snippets from CollegeIt’s interaction with Farhan Shafi , an LLM candidate at King’s College London pursuing a specialization in international dispute resolution.

What should you include in the personal statement?

The university website specifies that the personal statement should not exceed 4,000 characters if directly entered into the online application form, or two pages if uploaded as an attachment.

In Farhan’s experience “ universities tend to put a lot of weightage to [the candidate’s] uniqueness and what [applicants] need to focus on is what makes you, ‘you’ .”, and accordingly it’s important to include details in the personal statement that are based on one’s strengths and experiences.

I didn't talk much about academics, I mean, you don't want to shoot yourself in the foot, right?

Following such an approach can also makes it easier gloss over shortcomings in one’s profile – for instance, Farhan did not meet the academic requirements for the LLM program at King’s . While the program required a High 2:1 undergraduate degree with a final mark of at least 65% or above, he only had about 61%.

In playing to his strengths, Farhan mentioned that he "didn't talk much about academics, I mean, you don't want to shoot yourself in the foot, right?", and instead he chose to talk about an access to justice initiative he had started in law school, which was engaged with by over 6 million people in its lifetime. He bolstered his statement by talking about his prior work experience in arbitration, potentially adding a few brownie points to his application, considering Farhan also wished to specialize in the same field.

I focused on my work experience, and an access to justice initiative I had started in law school

Academic achievements and engagement outside of the classroom, such as summer school experience, conferences, internships, and related work experience, can all be incorporated into the personal statement. Discuss prospects for postgraduate research, specific courses, and professors you admire. It's a good idea to avoid employing platitudes and generic phrases, and instead using the personal statement to speak in specifics about topics that you like.

Structuring the personal statement

As a broad approach for the personal statement, Farhan suggests that applicants should highlight their motivation for going for an LLM, what they bring to the table, and what they can do after obtaining an LLM. He followed a structure which focused on his prior work experience, which he then linked with the reasons for which he wanted to obtain an LLM, and demonstrated how the skills which he gathered could help him during the course of the program.

Based on our conversation with Farhan, the personal statement can potentially be structured as follows:

Make a great first impression in the initial part of the personal statement. Start out with a strong introductory paragraph that captures the attention of the reader. Consider mentioning your motivation for pursuing an LLM, and include a few lines about your biggest accomplishments.

Go ahead and tell your story after the strong introductory paragraph: talk about how your interest in law developed over the years, and how that led to an inclination towards any particular area of law. You can build a coherent narrative to demonstrate your interest in a particular specialization and your suitability for the program using past internships and work experience. In doing so, it is important to highlight how these experiences prompted you to apply for an LLM, and how they can help you during the program. A general caveat for the personal statement is that it should not be a bland restatement of your CV – instead, it should be used to bring out how the several line items in your profile shaped your ideas and interest in law, and how it eventually prompted you to apply to KCL.

Once you’ve laid down a strong foundation in the initial part of the personal statement, you can dedicate a paragraph to your most recent work experience. Farhan used this space to talk about his prior experience in arbitration, and how this experience helped him appreciate the intricacies of dispute resolution. You can also use this paragraph to demonstrate how an LLM would contribute to your skills and understanding in your preferred area of specialization.

After you’ve talked about your work experience, put down a few lines to discuss your academic background and achievements, and use these to demonstrate how such background has prepared you to meet the challenging demands of KCL’s LLM program.

Several universities in the UK require LLM candidates to submit a dissertation towards the end of the program. Keeping this requirement in mind, it may be a good idea to dedicate a paragraph to talk about your prior publications – essentially, these will speak to your ability to write a dissertation and effectively fulfil the requirements of the program. You could also consider mentioning a potential dissertation topic – Farhan explains that this provides a fair bit of substance to your motivation behind applying for an LLM, and that you’re always free to change your topic later on in the course.

Finally, you can wrap up the personal statement by writing about what you like about the university and why KCL would be a good fit for you. A simple way to do this would be to highlight specific modules in the program, or faculty members who you like, and how you believe this would contribute to your intellectual growth. You can also consider linking this paragraph to your overall motivation for applying for an LLM.

As a disclaimer, the structure set out above is indicative and Farhan's approach might not work for everyone. At the end of the day, it may be a good idea to let the personal statement be what it is designed to be: personal.

• The Gender Studies Network
• The Global Institute for Women’s Leadership
• Editorial team from Feminist Perspectives

About Brenda Trenowden:

Brenda Trenowden was an exemplar of inclusive leadership. She used her intellect, kindness, passion and energy to bring people together to help make the world a better place. She had a stellar career that was driven by purpose. Brenda was a tireless advocate for gender equality. In tandem with a successful career in financial services in Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Bangladesh and the UK, she spearheaded efforts to improve diversity and advance feminism not just in business and sport, but across the range of charities and interests in which she was involved.

As Chair, first of the City Women’s Network and then of the 30% Club, she oversaw the achievement of the goal of 30 per cent female representation on FTSE 100 corporate boards. She established a new goal of 30 per cent representation of women on FTSE 350 boards as well as an increased focus on broader diversity goals, such as LGBT inclusion, and the launch of 30% Club sister organisations in countries including the US, Australia and in southern Africa.

Her support for diversity initiatives went well beyond the world of UK plc. Born in Nova Scotia, Canada, she was the first generation of her family to go to university, and she campaigned throughout her career for greater access to opportunity for the less privileged. She was a trustee of the EY Foundation, helping young people into employment, the senior independent director of the England and Wales Cricket Board, improving access to the game and advancing all its work, and a trustee at the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Her interests ranged more broadly, from literature, to art, to politics and music. She maintained strong links to her homeland, and was awarded an honorary degree by her alma mater, Queen’s University Canada, as well as a CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in 2018, for services to the financial sector and gender equality.

About the organisers:

The King's Global Institute for Women’s Leadership is chaired by Julia Gillard, the only woman to have served as Prime Minister of Australia, the institute brings together rigorous research, practice and advocacy to break down the barriers to women becoming leaders, while challenging ideas of what leadership looks like.

Gender Studies at King’s is a network that brings together scholars and students across King's – whose research and teaching examines the influence of gender relations. The network hosts a mailing list which publicises relevant events and provides a platform for discussion about gender in research and teaching.

Feminist Perspectives is a blog created to publish research-based work – like academic research and think pieces – and art-based projects that use gender as a category of analysis or explore it as part of a creative process. It aims to bring together students, scholars, artists and activists and to create an outlet to discuss gender from a multidisciplinary and intersectional perspective.
