Citation Guide

The Rangsit Music Journal mandates the utilization of specific formats for references and bibliographies as outlined below. Each article must incorporate footnotes to indicate the sources of information within the content, alongside a comprehensive bibliography at the end. It is imperative that all sources, irrespective of their original language, are either utilized in English or translated into English for consistency throughout both footnotes and the bibliography. The original language of the source should be denoted at the end of each citation, such as (in Thai), (in Italian), (in Chinese), (in Japanese), or others.

Bibliography Formatting Guidelines:

• Authors’ names should be listed with the last name first, followed by the full name. Abbreviations are not permitted.
• For subsequent authors, include both the first and last name.
• Arrange the bibliography alphabetically based on the first author’s last name.
• Ensure that the year of publication is represented in the Christian era.

Footnotes and Bibliography Style:

• Utilize appropriate punctuation marks such as periods (.), commas (,), quotation marks (“...”), and parentheses ().
• Maintain consistency in capitalization, distinguishing between lowercase and uppercase letters, and utilizing different font styles as necessary.

Additional Notes:

• For sources published for the first time, the edition of publication need not be included in the citation.
