In subsequent citations, only first author followed by “et al.” should be used [e.g., (Sechzer et al. 1996, 243).
Please make sure that the names in the footnotes have all the proper diacritical marks.
In the text foreign words and names should be spelled either in the original language or transliterated using the Library of Congress system. In general, it is easier to give common place names in their standard English form than in more complicated transliterations, but the original language may also be used. Include all necessary diacritical marks in your text. Words and names must be transliterated if they are not written in the Latin alphabet.
