Reference List
(Unpublished Sources)
Although most material referenced in a paper will be published, occasionally material not yet published or presented at a conference is referenced. This may include unpublished master's theses or dissertations, unpublished manuscripts or raw data, or manuscripts in preparation, under review for publication, or in press (accepted for publication, but not yet in print).
Details of Format
Unpublished material is referenced by listing (1) the author(s), (2) the date the manuscript was written, (3) the title of the manuscript, which should be italicized, and (4) a notation that the manuscript is unpublished, in preparation, or under review for publication. If there is no manuscript (e.g., raw data), then a description of the data in brackets replaces the title of the manuscript and the notation "unpublished raw data" is added at the end.
