Nihil Obstat Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I might be in a different kind of situation, but I have only ever had a couple professors who cared about citation style. I generally just wing it with something resembling APA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My citations would probably give you a stroke. In text: (Human Development Report 2014, United Nations Development Programme) In reference list: Human Development Report 2014 , United Nations Development Programme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I would probably throw some exorcised salt at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Earlier this week I was using footnotes instead of in text citations with a bibliography. Made up the format of the footnotes as I went. [1] Alberta Energy, “Facts and Statistics.” http://www.energy.alberta.ca/oilsands/791.asp [1] Beine, Bos, Coulombe, “Does the Canadian economy suffer from Dutch Disease?” [1] Chambers, Gordon, “Primary Products and Economic Growth: An Empirical Measurement.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well I'd be fine with the first one. But the other two: are they articles, books, who's the publisher, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well I'd be fine with the first one. But the other two: are they articles, books, who's the publisher, etc.? One is a journal article and the other is, I believe, a chapter from a larger book. But since the professor does not seem to care, neither do I. (That is why I could never go to grad school.)

But since the professor does not seem to care, neither do I. (That is why I could never go to grad school.) I learnt the proper citation years ago and for the last while have just been working on memory. Although, I have been introduced to a great tool called Zotero which will help you create a database of sources and can even do your citations directly in Word if you get the plugin. So useful, and can do bibliographies so quickly in pretty much whatever format is needed. I haven't written my own citations all year (although I do fix some of the auto generated issues such as excessive all caps. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yeah, I heard about that the other day! Next semester I will definitely be trying it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
