If there are online PDFS, include that here, with a hyperlink. NEVER paste the hyperlink directly into the text! What is this, middle school? Always highlight the text and add a link that way.

Reprint Editions: 
List the same way you would list the libraries above.

For all entries, if you are sure there are no relevant data, put “None.” If you aren’t 100% sure, put “Unknown”

Give an overview of the magazine here. Remember that you are writing a bibliographic entry, not an essay.

Do not:

• Offer unsubstantiated claims like “One of the most influential magazines ever printed.” Your job is to provide cold, hard facts, not offer some profound observation or personal opinion.
• Write so much about the editors that the Editors section becomes redundant
• Write any “filler” material. Some magazines simply do not have much information that’s been published about them. You won’t be penalized for a shorter entry if it’s good and thorough, so don’t try to make it longer by restating what you’ve said or adding meaningless comments.
• Misspell foreign words. If it’s in French, and you don’t speak French, look up which way that accent goes
• Forget to follow basic stylistics: italicize titles of publications; don’t use comma splices; don’t screw up apostrophes

Copy the manifesto of the publication here. If there is no manifesto, explain that there is no manifesto and copy whatever you can find in the magazine that might be similar. If there simply is no manifesto, just say so and move along.

Stylize the heading as follows:

Peter Bowman (Jan. 31, 1909 – Nov. 18, 1995)
Editor: 1941 – 1995

Provide basic biographical information. This includes place of birth, schooling, notable family members, traumatic or transformative experiences, cities of residence, reasons for publishing a magazine, hobbies and interest, love affairs – basically anything you’d find at the top of a Wikipedia entry (though, of course, you’re not about to copy and paste from Wikipedia)

The vaguest section, Contributors is supposed to provide a snapshot of contributing writers. For some publications, the amount of individual contributors is staggering – by no means do you have to list them all.

Be sure to list notable authors and artists, but do not restrict your entries to canonical figures.
