CITATION LIBRARY INSTRUCTION 2013

LET US FIRST DEFINE WHAT IS A CITATION. . .

CITATION: • “A reference to a text or part of a text identifying the document in which it may be found, or the format of such reference, which would typically include author, title and bibliographic description of the document” according to one source (Feather & Sturges, 1997, p. 57).

CITATION: “A source quoted in an essay, report, or book to clarify, illustrate, or substantiate a point”(Nordquist, n. d. ).

PURPOSE OF CITATIO N • “Help readers identify and relocate the source work. • Provide evidence that the position is wellresearched. • Give credit to the author of an original concept or theory presented”(citationonline. net, n. d. ).

When to cite? • Whenever you are referring to an idea that is not uniquely your own, one that has been drawn from another source, you must “cite” that idea as someone else’s. • Failure to do this is PLAGIARISM.

CITATION FROM BOOK AND OTHER PRINT MATERIALS

• The citation follows the expression of the idea; typically at the end of a sentence : “Yam stood for manliness, and he who could feed his family on yams from one harvest to another was a very great man in deed“(Achebe, 1959). This is an example of citation

The order of the citation is important, and should include, in parenthesis, the author’s surname, a comma, and the year of publication.

Example: • “Yam stood for manliness, and he who could feed his family on yams from one harvest to another was a very great man in deed“(Achebe, 1959, p. 33). Author’s surname Year page

REMEMBER: You must cite the particular book each time you draw from it; not just the first time you use it in a text.

PARAPHRASING When paraphrasing, in-text references do not require page numbers. Ex. : Though feminist studies focus solely on women’s experiences, they err by collectively perpetuating the masculine-centered impressions (Fussel, 1975).

QUOTATIONS • If your citation refers to a specific page or pages, you should also include that in your citation: “Community policing involves developing a relationship between citizens and the police department” (Jones, 2005, p. 48).

• As mentioned earlier, you might have two ideas from two different sources (notice the placement of the first citation after the first idea): “Community policing involves developing a relationship between citizens and the police department (Jones, 2005, p. 48) as well as teaching citizens how to handle their own crime problems (Smith, 1998). 2 nd “idea”

You may also at times refer to works without the parenthesis, if it “flows” better with your paper: r is o h t e au se it h t : Note ut becau rlier a left o tioned e en nce was m the sente in – Jones has stated that community policing involves developing a relationship between citizens and the police department (2005, p. 48).

• Here is another example of not using parenthesis: – In 1998, Jones reported that community policing involves developing a relationship between citizens and the police department (p. 48). In this instance the author and the year are mentioned in the prior sentence. The page number (specific to the idea) is the only citation listing.

What if your source does not have an author listed anywhere?

You will list the first few words of the title of the work: – Community policing involves developing a relationship between citizens and the police department (“Policing in Action”, 2005). Title synopsis

What if your source does not have a publish date listed anywhere?

You will list the author, and “n. d. ” for “no date”: – Community policing involves developing a relationship between citizens and the police department (Jones, n. d. ).

TWO AUTHORS You must list both authors every time you draw idea from that particular source: “Community policing involves developing a relationship between citizens and the police department “(Jones & Smith, 2005, p. 48).

Three Authors • If you have three to six authors, you cite two different ways. The first time you cite the source, you list all authors: – Community policing involves developing a relationship between citizens and the police department (Jones, Smith, & White, 2005).

SIX AUTHORS AND A BOVE Each additional time you cite this source in your paper, you only list the first author, and follow it up with “et al. ”: “Community policing involves developing a relationship between citizens and the police department “(Jones, et al. ). “et al. ” stands for “and others”

Agency as Author • In this instance you simply list that agency within the citation: “Community policing involves developing a relationship between citizens and the police department “(U. S. Department of Justice, 2005).

WHAT IS A REFERENCE LIST?

Reference List: A reference list includes all the references that you have cited in the text of your assignment.

Essential Information: • Your reference list should appear at the end of your paper. • It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. • Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text.

Reference listing • Recall that almost without exception, your in-text citation should “connect” to an entry in your reference list toward the end of your paper.

EXAMPLE: “Yam stood for manliness, and he who could feed his family on yams from one harvest to another was a very great man in deed“(Achebe, 1959, p. 33). Achebe (1959). Things fall apart. New York: Anchor Books.

Reference listing Achebe, C. (1959). Things fall apart. New York: Anchor Books. Hanging Indent In general, the author is listed first; last name first, first initial next. The year is listed in parenthesis after that. The title is then displayed in italics. If it is a book, the city of publication is offered, followed by a colon and the publishing company name.

REMINDERS • Reference lists are in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. • Multiple authors for the same reference are listed in alphabetical order. • If you have more than one reference by the same author, you list them in order by the year of publication. • Use “&” as opposed to “and” in listing multiple authors

All authors (up to six) are listed in alphabetical order. Anderson, M. , Bell, J. , & Jones, A. (2005). Community Policing. Hartford, CT: Scholarly Publishers, Inc.

The first six authors are listed, every author after that is referred to as “et al. ” (“and others”). Anderson, M. , Bell, J. , Connors, G. , Davis, L. , Engram, P. , Jones, A. , et al. (2005). Community Policing. Hartford, CT: Scholarly Publishers, Inc.
