6.5: Date

6.5 Date

Always date your work. If you give an unpublished paper to others they will want to know when it was written. You may not be able to distinguish different drafts if they are not dated. The date is usually placed on a line by itself after the author's name, or in a footnote. Spell the month out, rather than using the form "xx-yy-zz", since European and American authors interpret xx and yy in the opposite senses.
