THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS

INDEXING GUIDELINES

 

 

1)  Alphabetize letter by letter, INCLUDING SUBENTRIES (see Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed., section 18.57). For subentries, alphabetize by the first important word (words such as and and short prepositions such as of do not count).

 

2)  Double space throughout. Place two hard returns between alphabetical sections.

 

3)  Use run-in style for subentries, unless there are numerous sub-subentries (see CMS, 18.145 and 18.146).

 

4)  Follow Chicago Manual of Style’s system for inclusive numbers:

 first number

Less than 100

100 or multiple of 100

101 through 109, etc.

110 through 199, etc.

second number

Use all digits

Use all digits

Omit unnecessary zeros

Use two digits, or more

examples

3–10, 71–72, 96–117

100–104, 600–613

107–8, 505–17

321–25, 415–532

 

(*give inclusive roman numerals in full*)

 

 

5)  When indexing titles, place the author’s surname in parentheses:

Great Expectations (Dickens), 108


6)  Common nouns/words are lowercased and proper nouns/words are capitalized:

acting, 20–21

Austen, Jane, 22–23, 51–64

authorship, 2–3, 14, 28

 

7)  Cross references appear at the end of the entry, not at the beginning. See and See also are italicized. No punctuation follows the cross-reference.

Addams, Jane, 40, 76. See also Hull House

children, illegitimate. See illegitimacy

 

8)  Cross-reference entries are separated by a semicolon:

children, illegitimate. See illegitimacy; U.S. Children’s Bureau (CB)

 

9)  Use MS Word if possible, but we also accept WordPerfect files.

 

10)  Use a hanging indent code at the beginning of each main entry. (To create a hanging indent in MS Word, just highlight what you want indented [in most cases the entire index] and then go to Format => Paragraph => Indentation => Special => Hanging.) Please do not use tabs or extra bar spaces for indenting.

 

11)  Refer to endnotes by page, the letter n for “note” and the note number, with no internal space (e.g., 153n4). See CMS, section 18.111.

 

 

12)  Please e-mail your index to your in-house editor. But if you prefer, you may provide the file on disk and a hard copy when you mail in your proofs.
