Easy Citation Guide
You may be uncertain how to give proper credit for information drawn from this or other reference sites online. Here are a few guidelines to follow:- If the information is widely reported (i.e., found on at least three other sources), then no credit is necessary.
- If the piece of information is unique (i.e., found on only one or two other sources), then it is appropriate to credit the original author or authors. This not only protects the source, but it also protects you in the case that they may be wrong about what they reported.
- Examples of proper citations appear in the following posts:
- Direct Quotation: This strand of pearls consists of “six knee-length rows of pearls with twenty-five pearl drops, some as big as nutmegs” {Zahnle}.
- Indirect Reference: Their jeweled faces featured eyes made of rubies, expressing passion, and beaks made of diamonds, representing eternity. {Royal Collection}
