#2: Initial revision
Knowing nothing about this particular style, my impulse would be to define it on first reference in each kind of copy, and use the abbreviation after that. So the first time you use it in running copy, spell it out and put the abbreviation after it in parens, and then use the abbreviation thereafter. But _additionally_, the first time you use it in a citation, spell it out _again_, and then use the abbreviation in subsequent citations. So: > First citation: ... (Mothers Against Drunk Driving [MADD], 2000) > > Second citation: (MADD, 2000) Running copy: > First reference: Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) also notes that .... (as cited in Brown, 2010). > > Second reference: Later, a spokesperson from MADD commented... (as cited in Brown, 2010).
