I have a citation that I am looking to read. However, I have tried various approaches to look up the source but they only show up on the authors' papers (and their PhD dissertation).
I cannot find the person (whose work I want to read) anywhere. Its just a last name and listing their school has not pointed me to their work. I don't know what else I can do.
For anyone curious, it's this: S. Geurts, “Peripheral Play,” Utrecht School of the Arts, Hilversum, 2012.
Hey everyone. I'm trying to help a student who is citing several tweets by Donald Trump in a paper, using MLA formatting. The problem here is that some of the tweets are occuring within hours of each other, on the same day (Trump, uh, tweeted an awful lot some days, as I'm sure a lot of people noticed).
So my question is, does anyone have any idea if there's a way that this is "supposed" to be done? It looks like, normally, multiple tweets from one author would add in the date first, like (Trump 5 Nov. 2017), but if they're citing more than one on this day, would it need to add the...hour and minute, or something?
On top of this, all the tweets are, of course, deleted, making this probably the weirdest citation situation I've ever seen. If anyone has ideas of where to go or if there's another place I should be asking, I'd love to know! Thanks in advance.
Good morning, y'all. I recently wrote up a newsletter for my job, with no college experience, and having not done citations since high school about 15 years ago. In the newsletter, I included 2 articles I wrote based on a bunch of online reading. I didn't use specific quotes or phrasing from the sources, but just noted basic facts then wrote up the articles from that knowledge. Due to my lack of proper education, I didn't think I needed to cite sources if I wasn't using quotes, passages, etc but just a basis of knowledge. My mistake. So now I need to go back and make citations from work I did months ago. Yikes.
For one of these two articles (about ADHD), I did all my research from one online magazine, but several articles therein. I don't even know now all of the articles I read on this site anymore, I gleaned information from several. Some of the articles have an author, others just say "[magazine name] editors". Most have an "Updated on" date, but no original publication date. All the articles on their website cite other sources for the data within.
The other, a "this day in history" type thing, was also the product of reading a LOT of US history, but from a lot of different online sources rather than just one website. And again, some of these sources also have citations to other sources. And I don't think any had authors listed, and most I don't think had publication dates, either. Ugh.
Could I get help figuring out what needs done here/ how to cite this stuff? All of it is from online reading, or my own personal knowledge. I can provide any more info or answer any questions y'all may have to help out. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!
There are 3 other co-authors, all of their names have been included in the citation. But my name hasn't been included. What do I do to fix this?
Hi,
I am a condensed matter physicist in training working at one of the reputed universities in the US. I was looking at some of my colleagues who work in the field of experimental particle physics, with collabs at CERN. In a matter of two-three years, these guys amassed ~15000 citations with more than 200 papers (with thousands of authors, ofcourse), just getting started in their career. This is in complete contrast with our field and almost all of the fields of science and tech.
What is the whole deal about? Are the metrics like publication count and authorship status (1st, 2nd, 3rd..... 4598th), and the huge number of citations treated similarly as in other fields or are these metrics outdated for large collabs like cern?
Wouldn't it be relieving if we could cite an author without having to flip back and forth for small information to cite? I was thinking, why not just leave citations at the end of a book/article for students to copy?
There are so many ways to cite a book and most students grow up only knowing how to cite 1 or 2 ways. For example, I grew up only citing in MLA format; however, now that I'm in college I'm expected to cite articles in APA (never learning APA citation).
I believe that if authors left self-citations that it would be easier for researchers. Besides, a lot of students lose points for these kinds of things when sometimes it's just out of their control. Like when authors don't leave a name or when the date of an article is unknown.
It becomes especially difficult to learn different kinds of citations in times like COVID when most citations are learned through long boring instructions posted on a hidden discussion board or school page. Of course, this is just my opinion. If you agree, talk to me about how the concept can be improved. If not, why?
i.e. if a paper “has 50 citations”, does that mean I can scroll to the end and see 50 works the author has cited, or does it mean 50 other people have cited the paper I’m reading?
The title pretty much says it all. From what I can tell, Word will automatically say et al. after adding six authors or more, but my University wants it to say et al. after just three.
Title says it all. I'm trying to cite the online Merriam-Webster entry for "untruth". I tried looking for the answer myself, but could only find how to list it in the Bibliography and/or how to cite it in Chicago Footnote/Endnote.
First time posting here, I hope I did this right >.<
The title says it all. We could only find datasets like Cora where the meta info is missing or CORD-19 where no class labels are given and we would have to generate the features ourselves.
Does someone know a dataset like Cora which also contains meta data?
So I was writing a short essay and I didn’t notice that the source that I was using had two authors instead of one. In my in text citations, everything is correct except I only put one author’s name in on accident. I do have both authors names in the reference page though. The due date has passed, but should I consider sending a updated version of my essay to my professor and explain what happened? Will it be considered plagiarism?
Hi guys, i need help with english essay citation, i'm not sure if this is the place to post, but i am a foreign student so i don't know about the specific APA citation used here (i think it is global), but my country doesn't use APA citation.
So i would appreciate if you guys can help me out here.
'' Stolle, L. B., et al. (2020). Fact vs Fallacy: The Anti-Vaccine Discussion Reloaded. Retrieved from: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12325-020-01502-y ''
this is the reference that i am given, what i want to ask is, how do i do apa in text citation? As i realised that there are many auther.
Would it be ok if i simply say xxxx (Stolle, 2020) or Stolle (2020) mentioned that ....
Or do i need to insert the other auther name?
Thank you so much.
I am using NEJM citation style in Zotero. For a particular manuscript, this journal has specifically asked to cite first ten authors for references followed by "et al." Is there a way to change this in the citation style in Zotero? Asking because I have more than 100 references which will make manual editing very time-consuming.
I want to cite a dictionary, but I can't figure out the author. I know the who editted it, is that the author?
On the other hand the name of the dictionary is: 'Van Dale Pocketwoordenboek Nederlands' Basically the name is: [name of organisation] Pocket dictionary [the language]. The thing is, the name of the organisation is the same as the publisher. But, can this organisation be the author?
(Ex. the original author talked about "the importance of parent's warmth on children's development of other relationships. second author nicely summarized what the first author said to make his own point. In a way - I want to give credit to both of them - the original author for coming up with the idea, and the secondary author for nicely summarizing it in their own words.
TLTR: what is the proper way to cite that idea the first author came up with, if I came across that idea through the second author's summary?
Hi, ^^^ if anyone could help I would be greatly appreciative. I searched all over the Purdue website but never found some thing specific, I asked my professor and he said he didn’t know but would take either. But I’m still kinda curious if anyone knows! And also I didn’t know who else to ask and thought this may be the appropriate sup for the question 🤷🏻♂️, anyway thanks!
As you all know, /r/jokes is a bastion of high class and academic research into jokes. Please take the time and effort to cite the author(s) of the joke you posted or face a ban for a academic dishonesty. For example: George Carlin said "Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?" as mentioned in Orr, (2011). Be sure to list the cited publications at the end of the joke. Jokes are serious and no laughing matter.
