Citations and References

In-text citations:

Bibliographic notes should have the following characteristics:

Initial of the author's first name and last name in small caps, book title in italics, publisher, city, year, and number of pages in normal font. Journal article titles should be in "quotation marks" in normal font, the name of the journal in italics, followed by the volume number and/or issue number in parentheses, and then the corresponding pages. Collaborative works, as well as dictionary entries, should follow the same criteria.

See the following examples:

Book:

H. Pino, Introducción a la Biblia hebrea, Sígueme, Salamanca 2005, 89-91.

<pArticle:

G. Hentschel - C. Niessen, "Der Bruderkrieg zwischen Israel und Benjamin (Ri20)", Biblica 89.1 (2008) 1-16.

Collaborative work:

G. Pino, "Una aproximación al concepto de 'naturaleza' en Santo Tomás de Aquino", in: V. Torres (ed.), La filosofía tomista. Enfoques actuales, San Pablo, Santiago 2005, 350-372.

Dictionary entry:

H. Pino, "Crítica textual", in:H. Pino - F. Huerta (eds.), Diccionario bíblico manual, BAC, Madrid 1999, 505-510.

 

For subsequent citations, an abbreviated format should be used, including the initial of the author, last name, two or three words from the title followed by ellipsis, and the cited page:

H. Pino, Introducción a la Biblia..., 90.

 

In the case of using internet sources, the same criteria apply, adding the URL and the date the page was accessed. Example:

G. Hentschel - C. Niessen, "Der Bruderkrieg zwischen Israel und Benjamin (Ri 20)", Biblica 89.1 (2008) 1-16, https://www.bsw.org/biblica/vol-89-2008/der-bruderkrieg-zwischen-israel-und-benjamin-ri-20/31/article-p35.html. Accessed July 10, 2023.

 

Citations of biblical books should follow the abbreviation model of the Biblia de Jerusalén, fifth edition (Bilbao 2019).

For the use of biblical sources, preferentially use "bwhebb" for the Hebrew text and "bwgrkl" for the Greek text, or transliterated form.
