In academic work, it is important to cite your sources anytime you quote or summarize any work that is not created by you. This includes: text, charts, photos, graphs, diagrams, ideas, or anything else that you did not create.
To cite your sources correctly, you need to understand:
Below, I use a citation from the journal Science, to specify the information given in each part of the citation.
C. B., Thompson. (1995). Apoptosis in the pathogenesis and treatment of disease. Science. 267(5203), pp. 1456-1462.
Author Year Published |
C. B., Thompson 1995 |
|
Title of Article | Apoptosis in the pathogenesis and treatment of disease | |
Title of Journal: | Science | |
Volume: | 267 | |
Issue: | 5203 | |
Pages: | 1456-1462 |
To cite your sources, use “in-text” citations within your paper and “full citations” at the end, using an appropriate citation style. The format of both will depend on the Citation Style you use.
"...end of the line for my research [13]."
"The theory was first put forward in 1987 [1]." "Scholtz [2] has argued that......."
"Several recent studies [3, 4, 15, 16] have suggested that..."
"For example, see [7]."
When citing more than one source at a time, the preferred method is to list each reference number separately with a comma or dash between each reference:
Preferred
[1], [3], [5]
[1] - [5]
-Murdoch University
There is no automated way to do this; use the IEEE Citation Style Guide (5 pg PDF) to manually create the right format.
