The long-awaited news from the Chicago Manual of Style: Place of publication will no longer be used in citations as of the 18th edition (with rare exceptions for clarity).

When I wrote my dissertation (using APA style), I sometimes had no idea what the place of publication was. I always used New York or London, and nobody ever said anything about it.When I wrote my dissertation (using APA style), I sometimes had no idea what the place of publication was.

Thanks for the thread. Great to see what the changes are.

Totally irrelevant and irreverent reaction: let's just call this book The Manual of Style. The city doesn't matter. (I'll do my best to follow the new guidelines)

Really appreciate the thread! Quick question though: The recommendation regarding the capitalization of prepositions hasn’t changed, right? Or has it?

This does make sense in the world of international conglomerates.
