Cameron, S. E. (1981). Educational level as a predictor of success. Unpublished manuscript. 

Ulbricht, H. W. (1993). Personality and selective migration. Unpublished manuscript, Human Resources Laboratory, Chamber of Mines Research Organization, Johannesburg. 

  • The key issue is to indicate where the unpublished manuscript can be obtained if possible. 
  • For a publication of limited circulation, given in parentheses immediately after the title a name and address from which the publication can be obtained. 

MANUSCRIPT IN PROGRESS OR SUBMITTED FOR PUBLICATION BUT NOT YET ACCEPTED 

McIntosh, D. N. (1993). Religion as schema, with implications for the relation between religion and coping. Manuscript submitted for publication. 

  • Do not give the name of the journal or publisher to which the manuscript has been submitted. 

  • Treat a manuscript accepted for publication but not yet published as an in-press reference. 

  • Use the same format for a draft or work in progress but substitute the words "Manuscript in preparation" for the final sentence. Use the year of the draft you read (not "in preparation") in the text citation. 

UNPUBLISHED RAW DATA FROM STUDY, UNTITLED WORK 

Wolfaardt, J. B., & Tustin, C. M. (1990). [Achievement of students on the research methodology paper in the examination and subsequent supplementary examination]. Unpublished raw data. 

  • Do not underline the topic; use brackets to indicate the material is a description of content, not a title.
