Introductory words about the presentation

What will be discussed in this presentation

 

The basis for all the maddening reference styles

This logic is never explained in any style manual

 

Why should reference styling be learned early in the profession?

When you learn to do something manually, you develop a certain understanding as a byproduct of that effort
When you indulge in automation straightaway, you miss the understanding that may be so vital for your future success

 

Why is reference styling so complex?

Did anyone ever tell you that reference styling involves almost every task you may do in copyediting?
