Purpose of References
•
•
•
To make criticism possible
To enable you to check your own references
Need for:
1) absolute accuracy
2) responsibility
•
•
•
To acknowledge the contributions of others in your writing
Citation chains and dead-ends
Give credit where due!
– All too common inclination to cite scrupulously,
except the main source
=> go back to the original source!
– One has to provide a reference for any words or ideas
from any source
• Referencing system: footnotes & bibliography
4
Terminology
•
•
In-text referencing
footnote
• Bibliography
• Reference list
5
Oxford Reference Style
• Conventions booklet in .pdf format:
http://www.history.ox.ac.uk/postgrad/thesesconventions.pdf
• More detailed:
Ritter, Robert M., The Oxford guide to style (Oxford: Oxford
University Press, 2002).
‐ revised and enlarged edition of Horace Hart's "Rules for compositors and
readers at the University Press, Oxford." –
• Other than the Harvard style („author-date system‟) the
Oxford style is known as the documentary-note method
6
Oxford Reference Style: Basics
•
Article reference:
Surname, forename, „Title of Article‟, Journal of References,
vol. 28, 3 (1996), pp. 123-456.
• Book reference:
Author, Title of the Book (London: publisher, 1996), pp. 123456.
• Web references:
cite full web URL, and download a copy. You can then write
„copy available from the author‟ ->give latest date of access!
7
Oxford Reference Style:
Some Details concerning the Bibliography I
• in general:
1) give all available information
e.g. complete title
publication place & publisher & publication year
2a) give surname first, followed by forname(s), then: title
b) always give specific title in italics, and in case of an
article put it in ‘ … ‘
c) publication place & publisher & publication year
together at the end of the reference (only followed by
page numbers if necessary)
d) give publication place name in its English form
e) in case information on publication place or year is
unavailable, use: n.p. resp. n.d. - n/a non applicable
8
Oxford Reference Style:
Some Details II
• in general:
3) use one style consistently throughout
– it does not matter so much whether you choose e.g.
• use of . or , between author‟s name and title
• and or & between authors‟ names
• publication place, publisher, year in ( ) or not
• use of . or not at the end of the references
• additonal information on a series in front of the
(publication place, publisher, year) or within the ( )
• abbreviaitions pp. or p. can be omitted
• whether to give information on the edition number
detailed or shortened: e.g. 2nd edn. or 2
• etc.
9
Oxford Reference Style:
Some Details III
• forename: best to present all information available:
e.g. first name complete, initials for further forenames;
however, this is optional: use of initials only is also ok
• If multiple authors you can optionally use __ if the first author
was listed before:
e.g. Horn, P., and Dale, N. …
___ and Dale, N. …
___ ___ and Turcan, M. …
• Works edited by an author have to follow the written ones
10
Oxford Reference Style:
Further Rules
• Editor (ed.) respct. Editor names (eds.), Title (place: publisher,
date)
• Capitalise the first word in titles and then all nouns, strong or
main verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, leaving as lower-case
any conjunctions, prepositions, and articles
• Title spelling is sacrosanct
• Title‟s punctuation must follow that on the title page:
however, as this is usually a line break use a colon between
title and subtitle
• Book titles within titles are printed in the opposite front, i.e.
not italicised
• Titles in a foreign language should also be given in
translation in [ ] following the original title
11
Footnotes: Citation Conventions
•
•
Basic principle:
information required for a reference back to the source
(minimal amount necessary)
However, when referencing a source for the first time it is
also reasonable to give a full citation;
here: authors forename abbreviated before the surname
•
Followed by short citations (mainly author name),
in combination with op. cit., loc. cit. (:= as previously cited) if
details are given in an earlier note;
idem, Ibid. (:= same as last entry) when two references
immediately preceding are from the same source
•
Current preferred system is:
Short titles + bibliography
12
Footnotes: Do’s and Don’ts
• Do
– Give precise page reference, except when the
article/chapter/book cited provides unambiguous support
for your statement
– Tables/figures: provide with their own complete references
– Add a footnote at the end of a sentence, following any
punctuation (but precede : or - ):
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.1
or, if necessary: the lazy dog;1
• Don’t
– Reference commonplaces and truisms
– Use footnotes for supplementary narratives
– Break sentences with footnote refs, e.g.
The quick1brown2fox jumped over the lazy3dog4.
Footnotes:
Further Rules
• Use an author‟s initial only when citing works by different
authors with the same surname
• Titles that do not lend themselves to an obvious
abbreviations, a different short title may be chosen
• When only one work of the author is cited – and that
frequently – the title may be omitted
• At first reference to an article give the full page extent, and
add at plus the specific page numbers if necessary
14
Note-taking and Data Acquisition
Follow basic principles:
• Full bibliographical title in every record
• Page numbers on margins
• Indicate page-breaks clearly
• Differentiate clearly between paraphrase and quote
• Self-discipline: No shortcuts -> protects from later trouble!
Data collection
• Scanning: ABBYY software; Omnipage
• Digital camera notetaking
– JPEG degrades
– ABBYY: OCR (multilingual character recognition) of
digital photos
15
Organization of Bibliography
• Has to be in a clear logical order: list in alphabetical order
by author‟s surname
• Differentiate between sources
• Evidence (primary) vs. discussion (secondary)
– Archival
– Unpublished
– Periodical
– Official
– Printed primary
– Secondary
16
Bibliographical Software
• In general: for decent academic studies application of
bibliographic software is needed
• Bibliographical Software should include possibility to
– Download from external databases
– Create and maintain „libraries‟, i.e. sort by fields
– Browse, selecting subsets for extraction, deletion or
transfer
– Output data into sorted bibliographies
– Format output to preferred style
– Integrate with text
-> EndNote or RefWork
17
Alternative to EndNote: RefWorks
Comparison of options for managing citations
• Both RefWorks and EndNote allow
– an easy import of references into a database for storing
and organizing
– facilitate the use of the created records for inserting
citations and generating a bibliography in a word
document
• Which one is right for you?
– most significant differences are that
RefWorks is web-based, easy to learn
EndNote must be loaded onto a computer, but it is also
fuller-featured and more customizable => has a steeper
learning curve
• Anything imported into EndNote can easily be transferred to
RefWorks later (and vice versa)
18
EndNote
• At University of Oxford
• Uses Z39.50 Protocol
• Depends on connection/style files provided by external
agencies
• Last robust version seems to be 6.0 (=> used for demo);
also Version X installed
• Cost of a license c. £80.- at the University Computer Shop
19
EndNote Basics
•
•
Search online bibliographic databases
Collect all kinds of literature in libraries
-> Recommendation: Create a ‚Master-Library„ and a new
library for each text you want to write (but only one for
each text) & put the documents in one folder
Organise references
•
-> instead of spending hours of typing bibliographies, or using
index cards to organise references you can do it the easy
way: using EndNote
20
EndNote: Getting Started
• Create a Data Set:
FILE -> NEW -> TYPE IN THE NAME OF THE DATABASE
under ‚Data name„
• References to populate the data set, can be
– taken directly from internet sources
Library Databases
Journal Browser Databases
e.g. - Copac
e.g. - ISI Web of Knowledge
- OLIS
- Jstor
- Zetoc
- pubMed
- British library
- Econlit
- World cat
– typed in manually
References From Online Libraries
• TOOLS -> CONNECT -> CONNECT … -> data base of
connection files -> choose from it, e.g. Web of Science ->
CONNECT
• Search mask shows up -> type in which author/title etc. you
are looking for -> SEARCH -> list with selection shows up
• To transfer it: mark required references -> under COPY
REFERENCES -> click where to copy it -> marked
references will be transferred into your dataset library
-> Recommendation: check whether the ‚whole„ page
number was given. If not (e.g. 222-75 instead of 222275): double click the reference in order to change the
page number
References From Journal Browsing Pages
•
•
