It can be difficult to construct a citation when no matching example is given unless you know the underlying [[Citation Principles|citation principles]]. Users of Evidence Style can find, in ''Evidence Explained'', a synopsis of all principles common to historical research and writing as well as guidance on issues peculiar to specific types of records. | It can be difficult to construct a citation when no matching example is given unless you know the underlying [[Citation Principles|citation principles]].

*Evidence Style italicizes series titles if, in common usage, it "is considered a formal title for [the] set of materials." (Example: the series ''Pennsylvania Archives'', which is composed of many different volumes carrying widely different titles.<ref>Mills, ''Evidence Explained,'' 716.</ref> Chicago, which never italicizes a series title, does not address this issue.<ref>''CMS'' 15th ed., 669.</ref> | *Evidence Style italicizes series titles if, in common usage, it "is considered a formal title for [the] set of materials."

*Evidence Style is more cautious in the use of abbreviations. Because historical researchers use records across wide time frames in which place-name abbreviations change, because family historians use records for many countries whose proper abbreviations may not be widely known, and because "abbreviations rarely save a significant amount of space, the thoughtful writer avoids all but the truly obvious ones."<ref>Mills, ''Evidence Explained,'' 71.</ref> In general, Evidence Style spells out the names of states and references to political jurisdictions ("county," "parish," etc.) in the first citation to a source, but allows abbreviations in shortened subsequent citations to the same source.<ref>See "Cooperstown, New York" on p. 98 of ''Evidence Explained.''</ref> Both Evidence and Chicago agree that (in Chicago's words), "If the city of publication may be unknown to readers or may be confused with another city of the same name, ... the state, province, or (sometimes) country is added." However, Chicago recommends that the state, province, or country name be abbreviated.<ref>''Chicago Manual of Style'' 15th ed., 672.</ref> | *Evidence Style is more cautious in the use of abbreviations.
