Use the article number (abbreviated to art.) instead of the page number when quoting or referring to a specific section of a treaty. Because the year is considered part of the title, it does not need to be in brackets. The remainder of the title should be italicized. For example, to reference Article V of the Treaty of Washington (1836), the proper citation would be "Article V."
Treaties are published in the United States by the Department of State. These publications include the text of the treaty along with other information about the treaty and how it affects Americans. To learn more about treaties and their publication process, visit our Department of State website.
Citing a treaty is similar to citing any other document. If you are writing a paper that includes information from more than one source, such as articles from different journals, make sure you give credit to each author.
The first thing to do is find the name of the person who wrote the piece. This can be done by reading the byline. It usually appears at the top of an article in a journal but may also be found near the end of an article.
Next, check whether the author has a standard way of being cited. If they do, follow their instructions.
"Title of Treaty in Title Case," in Chicago Bibliography Format. Description of the date's importance Year, Month, and Day Title of the Source containing the Treaty Text Vol, item # (Year): Page numbers URL. Citation example: "Chicago Manual of Style." 16th edition. Chicago: American Library Association, 2016.
To include: Year of publication (in round brackets). The article's title (in single quotation marks). The journal's title (in italics). Volume (without brackets) and, if relevant, portion number, month or season (all in round brackets). Page numbers (in roman numerals).
Italicize the document's title and separate it with a comma. The title in this situation would be "Charter of the United Nations." List the publishing date, followed by a comma. The date of publication in this case is October 24, 1945.
There are two ways to cite an article: the full citation or the short citation. The full citation includes the author's last name, the article's title, and the date published. The short citation only includes the author's last name and the date published.
For example, if you were citing an article called "A Brief History of Time," your full citation would be given as "Blackwell, William J.," et al. "A Brief History of Time." The Journal of Modern History 45.3 (1973): 405-24. Your short citation would be simply "Brief History of Time."
When writing up research for classes or publications, it is necessary to provide information about source materials that you use but cannot include in your work. These sources can be quoted or paraphrased. They may even serve as sources for other works! The goal is to give credit to others who have gone before you. With proper attribution, you should not run into any problems with copyright infringement.
The legal way to cite sources is through the use of footnotes.
Give the title of the law (including changes), the year of publication, the OJ series, issue, and page numbers when quoting EU treaties and protocols. Title of legislation | [year] | OJ series | issue/first page OJ C115/13, Consolidated Version of the Treaty on European Union. Page numbers are from the official version published by the government agency responsible for legislative drafting.
Treaty Title Parties' Names, opened for signing or signed Full Date; Treaty Series (came into effect Full Date) Pinpoint References (pp. xx-xx).
The fundamental structure for referencing journal articles
For the title of an article, chapter, or web page, use double quotation marks. Italicize the title of a magazine, book, pamphlet, or report. There are two or more authors: Use the word and throughout the text. Use the & sign if the authors' names are included in parentheses. Otherwise, no period is needed.
