In the reference list use the state abbreviation or country with publication information in book entries even if it is a well-known city such as New York, NY or London, England. This is a change from the 5th edition. The exception is if a university is the publisher and the name of the state is included in the university name; do not repeat the state---Lawrence: University of Kansas. However, don't use the abbreviation "U.K."; use "United Kingdom" instead. The longer (and slightly more informative) version: Sometimes people treat "England" and "UK" as if they were synonymous. However, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (or United Kingdom, for short) is a constitutional monarchy that includes the constituent nations of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, all of which have rich, complicated histories and passionate nationalist movements. So "Cambridge, England" is OK; "Cambridge, United Kingdom" is OK; but "Edinburgh, England" is not.

This is located on page 23 of 6th edition. Titles are commonly indexed and compiled in numerous reference works. Therefore, avoid words that serve no useful purposes; they increase length and can mislead indexers. For example, the words method, and results not normally appear in a title, nor should such terms as A Study of or An Experimental Investigation of. Avoid using abbreviations in a title; spelling out all terms helps ensure accurate, complete indexing of the article. The recommended length for a title is no more than 12 words, 15 words maximum.
