Overview

Inclusion criteria This bibliography is about the subject of genocide studies; works about the history of acts of genocide are not included. Included works should either be published by an academic or notable publisher, or be authored by an independent notable subject matter expert and have reviews in significant independent scholarly journals. This bibliography specifically excludes self-published works; magazines and newspaper articles;[lower-alpha 1] works produced as propaganda; and works produced by non-academic government entities.

Formatting and citation style This bibliography uses APA style citations. Entries do not use templates; references to reviews and notes for entries do use citation templates. Where books which are only partially related to the subject of genocide are listed, the titles for chapters or sections should be indicated if possible, meaningful, and not excessive.

If a work has been translated into English, the translator should be included and a footnote with appropriate bibliographic information for the original language version should be included.

When listing book titles with alternative English spellings, the form used in the latest published version should be used and the version and relevant bibliographic information noted if it previously was published or reviewed under a different title.
