  Writing Guidelines

  The chart below, by Jason Steinhauer, provides good guidelines for how to write for the web.
  

  Hyperlinks 

  Hyperlinks can be added to provide project users with relevant research materials housed elsewhere on the web. Relevant research materials may include documentary evidence, cultural expressions, and scholarly works. Before adding a hyperlink, assess the credibility and stability of the source. Although hyperlinking to websites that are housed by universities, libraries, or government agencies is generally recommended,  other websites may be relevant. All  hyperlinks added to this project, should open in a different browser window, so be sure to click the "Open in a new browser window box." 

  Citation Style

  The citation style for this project is Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition. Please consult the Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition Guide and use Zotero to organize and format your research references. 

  Footnotes

  When you need to footnote, highlight the relevant text and add your note and/or reference using scalar's note function.

  Web Writing

  The chart below, developed by Jason Steinhauer as part of the History Communication initiative, provides a good overview of how to write for the web.
  

  Hyperlinks 

  Hyperlinks can be added to provide project users with relevant research materials housed elsewhere on the web. Relevant research materials may include documentary evidence, cultural expressions, and scholarly works. Before adding a hyperlink, assess the credibility and stability of the website. All hyperlinks added to this project should open in a different window, so be sure to click the "open in a new browser window" box when adding a link.

  Citation Style

  The citation style for this project is Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition. Please consult the Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition Guide and use Zotero to organize and format your references. 

  Footnotes

  To create a footnote add a bracketed number (sequential by page) at the end of the relevant sentence. Highlight the bracket and add your reference information (full note style) using scalar's note function [1].  We will collaboratively create a bibliography for the thematic exhibits at the end of the course.

  Spanish Names 

  The first time you introduce an organization or party, write the original name in Spanish in italics with the acronym (if there is one) in parenthesis and an english translation (before or after). For example: "The Spanish Communist party, Partido Comunista de España (PCE)..." Afterwards you can alternate between the acronym and the English. For reference, consult the glossaries in The Spanish Civil War: A Very Short Introduction (167-168) and After the Civil War: Making Memory and Re-Making Spain Since 1936 (366-368).
