Suffixes such as “Jr.” or “III” are included, but separated by a comma – e.g. Authors are always referred to by their surname and initials.Some general notes on the format of references:

The numbers should be flush against the left margin, and separated from the body of the reference. They should be listed and numbered in order of citation, not alphabetically. References should be provided on a separate page at the end of your paper, with the title “References” at the top of the page.
