Academic articles often include lists, which organize the material and provide the reader with a quick overview of a section. There are different ways to format lists, but some general principles apply to all of them: they should be constructed in a parallel fashion, and they should be consistent. Numbers, letters, and bullet points are not required in all cases. Academic writers who useThe Chicago Manual of Style will find various formats there, but four common list formats are presented here.
Types of List Formats
Run-In Lists
A run-in list, as the name suggests, is included as part of the general text. Elements can be separated in different ways, as shown in the examples below.
Separated with a Colon: When a complete sentence is followed by a list of items, separate the sentence from the list with a colon.
E.g. “Do not venture into the wilderness without these items: a knife, a book of matches, a flashlight, and a map.”
Separated with Numbers: When the list is part of the sentence, you can separate the items by numbering them.
E.g. “The Housing Committee passed resolutions on (1) annual salaries, (2) fundraising efforts, and (3) community building.”
