What is citation?

• Citation (n.) 1. A quotation from or reference to a book, paper, or author, esp. in a scholarly work

CANKAYA UNIVERSITY - FOREIGN LANGUAGES- ENGLISH UNIT

• Broadly, a citation is a reference to a published or unpublished source (not always the original source).


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference

A "citation" is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source. It also gives your readers the information necessary to find that source again, including:

• information about the author• the title of the work• the name and location of the company that

published your copy of the source• the date your copy was published• the page numbers of the material you are borrowing


Why should I cite sources?

• Giving credit to the original author by citing sources is the only way to use other people's work without plagiarizing. However, there are a number of other reasons to cite sources:

• Citations are extremely helpful to anyone who wants to find out more about your ideas and where they came from.


Why should I cite sources?• Citing sources shows the amount of research

you've done.

• Citing sources strengthens your work by lending outside support to your ideas.

What information should be cited?

• All direct quotations• All paraphrases• All summaries• All facts and statistics that are not common

knowledge• All translations


TASK 1 (p. 55)

Examine the following sentences and discuss which one is common knowledge and why.

1. Diana died after a car crash in a road tunnel in Paris along with Dodi Al-Fayed.

- Common knowledge2. After Lady Diana’s death, on July 6, 2004 Queen Elizabeth II

officially opened the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain designed by the architect Kathryn Gustafson. The fountain is located in Hyde Park in London.

- Not common knowledge; it includes specific information that one may not be familiar with.


COMMON KNOWLEDGE

What is common knowledge?

Common knowledge is knowledge that is known by everyone or nearly everyone, usually with reference to the community in which the term is used.


• It can sometimes be difficult to decide what is to be cited and what is common knowledge.


For example;

• “China is the most crowded country in the world.”

- The above statement is common knowledge for (almost) everyone in the world.

• “Süleymaniye Mosque was designed by Mimar Sinan.”

- The second statement is common knowledge for (almost) everyone in Turkey.


• Therefore, what may be common knowledge in one culture – or in one specific group of people – may not be common in another.

• If a paper is addressed to a certain group of people, the writer may not need to cite some pieces of information that are common knowledge for them.


• However; if the same paper is intended for the non-members of the same group, the writer may need to cite the information.


The best advice is...

When in doubt, cite your source!


REMEMBER!• Even if a piece of information is common

knowledge, you need to cite source if you use the exact sentence or a paraphrase of it!


What is NOT common knowledge?• All statistics, data, figures• References to studies done by others• References to specific facts the average

reader would not know about unless s/he has done research


TASK 2Identify common knowledge

1. ___ 76% of the American men sent to Vietnam were from lower-middle, working class backgrounds.

2. ___ World War II took place between the years 1939 and 1945.

3. ___ Barrack Obama is the first elected African-American president of the USA.

4. ___ Hitler was born in 20 April 1889 at the Gasthof zum Pommer.

5. ___ The 1789 French Revolution was a period of political and social upheavel in the history of France during which the French government underwent radical changes.


How to cite references

• In this lesson, you will study the conventions of APA style, by means of which you need to document your sources both as in-text and end-text references.


APA in-text style uses the author-year method of citation.

• The first citation of any work must include the author, year and, if a specific page needs to be identified, the page number of the work unless it is mentioned in the text containing the citation.

• Subsequent citations to the same work need NOT include the year as long

as the work can easily be distinguished from other works cited in the paper.

EXAMPLE: The first time a source appears in the text: "Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was

their first time" (Jones, 1998, p. 199).

The second or other times it appears in the text: “Students started to find APA style citation relatively easy as they get

used to using it” (Jones, p. 201).


BRIEF GUIDELINES for GIVING IN-TEXT REFERENCE

Depending on your choice, you can place the writer’s surname, the publication year and the page in different places in your sentence.


Analyze different ways of giving in-text reference in the sentences below.

• Several rivers aside from the Thames once intersected London, although those rivers have since been covered over by development (Clayton, 2000, p. 28).

• Anthony Clayton points out that several rivers aside from the Thames once intersected London, although those rivers have since been covered over by development (2000, p. 28).

Also;• Clayton (2000) points out that several rivers aside from the

Thames once intersected London, although those rivers have since been covered over by development (p. 28).



When you refer to a text with two writers, if the writers’ names are in parantheses, put an ampersand (&) between the two.However, if the writers’ names are outside the parantheses, use “and” in between.


Work by two authors named in the text

• Rosdahl and Weise point out that the unemployed of Denmark have had the right to request job related activities such as training or publicly supported work, but that right has

recently become an obligation (2001, p. 160). Also;• Rosdahl and Weise (2001) point out that the unemployed of

Denmark have had the right to request job related activities such as training or publicly supported work, but that right has recently become an obligation (p. 160).


Work by two authors

• The unemployed of Denmark have had the right to request job related activities such as training or publicly supported work, but that right has recently become an obligation (Rosdahl & Weise, 2001, p. 160).


Work by three or more authors

• Cite all authors the first time the reference occurs; in subsequent citations, include only the last name of the first author

followed by 'et al.' EXAMPLE:The first timeKahneman, Knetsch, and Thaler (1991) found that...The second time (or other times)Kahneman et al. (1991) found that...

*et al. = Latin; “and others”



When you refer to source with three or more writers, you do not need to list all the surnames each time you cite the source.The first time you cite the source, list all the surnames putting an ampersand (&) before the last one.From then onwards, write only the surname of the first writer and “et al.” which means “the others” in Latin.



• If the source you use has no author but is the work of an organization, you can give the name of the organization instead of the writer’s surname.

(UNESCO, 1999, para.4)• If the source you use has no author, give the

title in quotation marks. (“An effective Leader,” 2000, para.7)



• If the information you want to borrow appears as a borrowed source in the source you have at hand, you should refer to both writers using “as cited in”.

EXAMPLE: According to Viscount Slim, willpower and firmness, which are elements of determination, are the most critical characteristics for a leader (as cited in Hughes et al., 2006, p.15).



• If there is no date of publication, put “n.d.” in the place of year of publication.

( Jackson, n.d., para.5).• If the information is on a single page, put “p.” before

the page number.EXAMPLE:

Lewis (1967) points out that following his victory in the Turkish War of Independence, there were many distractions, which at that time might have dissuaded Mustafa Kemal, a war-hero (p. 254).



• If the information is on more than a single page, put “pp.” and “-” between the page numbers.

EXAMPLE:Kinross (1965, pp. 94-95) points out that knowing the patriotic fighting spirit of the Turks, Mustafa Kemal knew how to arouse...



• If there is no page number, indicate the paragraph number with either “para.” or the symbol “ ”

EXAMPLE:In his article “Atatürk in His Lifetime and Today”, Mango (2000) explains, as one of the Turkish biographers put it, the basic ideas, the new ideas came from Atatürk, their implementation he left to others (para. 3).

OR

In his article “Atatürk in His Lifetime and Today”, Mango (2000) explains, as one of the Turkish biographers put it, the basic ideas, the new ideas came from Atatürk, their implementation he left to others ( 3)


Indirect quotations

Use this form to cite a quotation that was found in another (not the original) source.

For example;• John Evelyn described London's churchyards as being filled

with bodies "one above the other, to the very top of the

walls, and some above the walls" (qtd. in Clayton, p. 14).


Electronic and Multimedia Sources

Electronic sources are cited in the typical author-page number style with one difference: when an Internet site does not have page numbers, offer other location information such as screen, section (sec.), paragraph (para.), track, or time frame (minute).

For example:• Because of Greece's physical characteristics-its jagged coast

made almost all settlements within 40 miles of the sea-the ancient Greeks relied on the sea for most long-distance traveling (Martin, 2002, sec. 2.4).


Although it is beneficial to know the basics of referencing...

You do not need to remember all these.Always check by writing APA referencing guide
