A traumatic response frequently entails a “delayed, uncontrolled repetitive appearance of hallucinations and other intrusive phenomena” ( Caruth , 1996, p.11).

Handling Parenthetical Citations: 

Handling Parenthetical Citations Sometimes additional information is necessary . . . More than one author with the same last name (H. James, 1878); (W. James, 1880) Two or more works in the same parentheses ( Caruth , 1996; Fussell , 1975; Showalter, 1997) Work with six or more authors (Smith et al, 1998) Specific part of a source (Jones, 1995, chap. 2)

Slide 6: 

Recently, the history of warfare has been significantly revised by Higonnet et al (1987), Marcus (1989), and Raitt and Tate (1997) to include women’s personal and cultural responses to battle and its resultant traumatic effects. Feminist researchers now concur that “It is no longer true to claim that women's responses to the war have been ignored” ( Raitt & Tate, p. 2). Though these studies focus solely on women's experiences, they err by collectively perpetuating the masculine-centered impressions originating in Fussell (1975) and Bergonzi (1996). However, Tylee (1990) further criticizes Fussell , arguing that his study “treated memory and culture as if they belonged to a sphere beyond the existence of individuals or the control of institutions” (p. 6).

Documents obtained from the Internet: 

Documents obtained from the Internet All references begin with the same information that would be provided for a printed source (or as much of that information as possible). The WWW information is then placed at the end of the reference in the same way as publishing information is given for books. It is important to give the date of retrieval because documents on the Web may change in content, move, or be removed from a site altogether. The object of this is the same as all referencing - to supply the information needed to allow a user to find a source. If you do not know the author or the date and it does not have a clear title, think carefully before using it .

Modern Language Association System: 

Modern Language Association System In text citation: Quotes Author’s last name and page number(s) of quote must appear in the text Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263). Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Handling Parenthetical Citations: 

Handling Parenthetical Citations Sometimes more information is necessary More than one author with the same last name (W. Wordsworth 23); (D. Wordsworth 224) More than one work by the same author (Joyce, Portrait 121); (Joyce, Ulysses 556) Different volumes of a multivolume work (1: 336) Citing indirect sources (Johnson qtd. in Boswell 2:450)

Slide 15: 

•If the source has no known author, then use an abbreviated version of the title: Full Title: “California Cigarette Tax Deters Smokers” Citation: (“California” A14) •If the source is only one page in length or is a web page with no apparent pagination: Source: Dave Poland’s “Hot Button” web column Citation: (Poland)

List of Sources : 

List of Sources Use the phrase “ WORKS CITED” Alphabetize entries in the list of works cited by authors' last names (if a work has no author, alphabetize it by its title). The author's name is important because citations in the text of the paper refer to it and readers will be looking for it at the beginning of an entry in the alphabetized list.

Slide 17: 

If your list of works cited includes two or more works by the same author, use the author's name only for the first entry. For other entries, use three hyphens followed by a period. The three hyphens must stand for exactly the same name or names as in the first entry. List the titles in alphabetical order (ignoring the article A , An , or The at the beginning of a title).

Slide 20: 

Electronic sources This section shows how to prepare works cited entries for a variety of electronic sources, including Web sites, online books, articles in online periodicals and databases, and e-mail. NOTE: When a Web address in a works cited entry must be divided at the end of a line, MLA recommends that you break it after a slash. Do not insert a hyphen. AN ENTIRE WEB SITE: Begin with the name of the author or corporate author (if known) and the title of the site, underlined. Then give the names of any editors, the date of publication or last update, the name of any sponsoring organization, the date you accessed the source, and the URL in angle brackets. Provide as much of this information as is available. With author Peterson, Susan Lynn. The Life of Martin Luther . 2002. 24 Jan. 2005 <http://www.susanlynnpeterson.com/luther/home.html>.

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers System: 

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers System The major difference between IEEE and other styles is that IEEE style encloses citation numbers within the text of a paper in square brackets [1]  rather than as superscripts 1 or in bracketed form (Jones 98) . All other bibliographical information regarding the citation is reserved for the list of references at the end of the document.

Slide 23: 

Author-Name Substitution •IEEE style encourages substituting reference numbers for the name of the author . As Smith, Wesson, and Williams demonstrate, the natural course of microprocessor evolution will likely lead to computers with . .X As [1], [2], and [3] demonstrate, the natural course of microprocessor evolution will likely lead to computers with . . . Citation Note Placement •Place note numbers directly after the reference rather than at the end of a clause or sentence, unless the reference ends at the end of a clause or sentence.  Place all punctuation outside the square brackets, except commas used to separate multiple references One study examined the mRNA levels of jun C, Jun B, and Jun D in mouse tissues [2]. X One study [2] examined the mRNA levels of Jun C, Jun B, and Jun D in mouse tissues.

Slide 24: 

Multi-reference Citations When more than one work is involved in the same citation, separate citation numbers with commas and without any spaces.  If a sequence of three of more citation numbers occurs in the reference, use a single range separated by a hyphen. Though unlikely, the same effects were reported by [2], [7], [12].X Though unlikely, the same effects was reported by [2,7,12].

List of Sources: 

List of Sources The second part of IEEE documentation is a list of references , which should include a list of all sources used by the writer. Title: References (Placed Flush Left) Arrangement: Arrange the reference list by the order of citation, not by alphabetical order. Spacing: Double-space both within an between entries Indentation: Place the number of the entry at the left margin, enclosed in square brackets.  Indent the text of all entries 2 or 3 spaces to the right of the closing square bracket. Appendices: Each appendix should have its own reference list.
