The New Kable's Rules for Citation at the University of Aldesey, commonly known as Kable's Rules for Citation, is a style guide which provides the system of academic, professional and legal citation frequently used in Great Nortend. It is mainly distinguished from the University of Limmes's Manual of Citation and the University of Rhise's Style Rules.

Rules

Footnoting

The citation style used by the Rules uses symbolic footnotes, ordered sequentially on a page. The footnote symbols used are ^✻, ^†, ^‡ and . The symbols are duplicated for footnotes number five and onwards. For example :

Domestic cats, Felis catus,^✻ often shed their fur.^† This fur can cause allergic reactions in certain people.^‡ Various methods have been attempted to try and stop the shedding of fur although none have hitherto been largely successful. One promising new method has been described in a recent paper by E. C. Whitlock;^✻✻ however, it is as of yet unproven.^††

Papers, articles and books

Academic papers and articles published in a journal or report are cited in the format : Surname, Initials Title, Year, Volume Journal Page, Pinpoint. For example :

^✻✻ Whitlock, E. C. A new method of reducing the shedding of feline fur in domestic environments, 2018, vol. 43 Domestic Science Journal p. 112.

Separately published books are cited in the format : Surname, Initials Title, Year, Publisher (and City), Pinpoint. For example :

^† Murray, A. B. G. De nova natura animalia domestica, 1999, Aldes., c. III. p. 179

Legal citations

Statutes are cited in the format : Title, Regnal year Page, Pinpoint. Cases are cited in the format : Party v. Party, Year, Volume Law Report Page, Pinpoint. For example :

^✻ Domestic Animal Control Act, 26 Edmund IX p. 76, s. VII.

Signals

Common introductory signals include cf., vid., sed vid., vid. etiam, e.g. and contra. Subsequent references should use ibid., id., op. cit. and loc. cit. as appropriate, with sup. or inf. before op. cit. and loc. cit. depending on whether the reference is above or below. Ibid. is used for a reference to the immediately preceding reference where the pinpoint is the same, whereas id. is used for a reference to the immediately preceding reference where the work is the same. For example :

^✻✻✻ Vid. etiam, Whitlock, op. cit.
^†† Sed vid., Murray, sup. loc. cit.
Contra, ibid.
^✻✻✻✻ Id. in p. 478.

Id. (and ead. for female authors) can also be used to refer to additional works by the same author/s. For example :

^✻ Jackman, W. Q. Erbonian starlings and ravens, 1882, Abbey.
^† Id. Birds of Cardoby, 1896, Abbey.
