Page number citations books

The most current method of documenting sources is with parenthetical citations. This format lists the book the statement or information was taken from and the page number in parentheses immediately following the statement. This method is becoming standard practice because it is relatively easy to follow and immediately informs your reader of the source you have used. The best guide to consult if you have questions about how to cite a particular source using parentheses is the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. 

When using parenthetical citations, the author of the book and the page number... 

References to the literature. References to the original data are given in the text, as Washburn.2 The exact citation can then be found in the list of references, which are given in alphabetical (and numerical) order, as Washburn,2 Bur. Standards J. Research 10, 525 (1933), where the numerals indicate, respectively, the volume, page, and year. The abbreviations used for the titles of the periodicals are those adopted as standard by the International Union of Chemistry (See, for example, Chemical Abstracts List of Periodicals Abstracted ). When the citation is that of a book, it is written as Washburn, Introduction to the Principles of Physical Chemistry, McGraw-Hill Book Co., New York (1921), where the title is in quotation marks, and then in order follow the name of the publisher, the place of publication, and, in parentheses, the year of publication. If the book citation includes volume and page numbers, these follow immediately after the title. 

The names of authors and joint authors of chapters in the present book, and the page numbers at which these chapters begin, are printed in heavy type. Page numbers of bibliographical references as listed at the ends of the chapters are in italics and page numbers of citations in the text are in ordinary type. 

The reference citation for a book should include the title of the book (and series name and number if applicable) the name(s) of the author(s) or editor(s) the year of publication and the page numbers on which the original figures or tables appear. If appropriate, also list the title of the chapter, the name(s) of the chapter author(s), and the inclusive page numbers for that chapter. 

The SCI is designed to make up for this gap. The citation index of SCI lists all papers, patents, or books cited in a given year or 2-month period (by first author only) and then gives a list of papers that have done the citing. The index is published bimonthly and cumulated annually. For example, column 43,901 of the 1989 citation index shows that the Jencks paper mentioned above was cited as a footnote in 16 papers published in 1989. It is reasonable to assume that most of the papers that cited the Jencks paper were on closely related subjects. For each of the 16 papers are listed the first author, journal abbreviation, volume and page numbers, and year. In a similar manner, if one consulted SCI for all the years from 1968 on, one would have a complete list of papers that cited that paper. One could obviously broaden the search by then consulting SCI (from 1989 on) for papers that cited these 16 papers, and so on. Papers, patents, or books listed, for example, in the 1989 SCI may go back many years (e.g., papers published by Einstein in 1905 and 1906 are included). The only... 

The most commonly cited bibliographic entity in biological science is an article in a jomnal therefore, the citation formats of most biological databases are defined with that type in mind. However, articles can also appear in books, manuscripts, theses, and now in electroiuc jornmals as well. The data model defines the fields necessary to cite a book, a jomnal, or a manuscript. An article citation occupies one field other fields display additional information necessary to imiquely identify the article in the book, journal, or manuscript—the author(s) of the article (as opposed to the author or editor of the book), the title of the article, page numbers, and so on. 

To assist readers who may have one of the four editions of Heinrich s book, a listing is provided in the reference section, giving the citation number and page numbers on which the excerpt appears in the several editions. For references from publications by other authors, the author s name and the page number in the publication are given. 

Unless your instructor has asked you to use a certain number of sources, there is no maximum or minimum number of citations that any research paper should contain. In other words, some topics and papers require a lot of documentation, particularly if the subject matter is controversial or previously undocumented, while other subjects require very little. When in doubt about whether to footnote a particular statement, it is usually better to back up any statement that may need support with a proper footnote or citation. Remove any doubt that may be lingering in the reader s mind about the authenticity of your research. However, if you are writing many footnotes, which may be perfectly legitimate for your paper and subject matter, you may have questions such as, What do I do if I have to cite the same page twice in a row Or, you may find that you have multiple citations that come from the same author and are on the same page. Do you have to have to write out all that material over and over again The answer is no. Once you have provided the full information on any book or source that you have consulted, you do not have to mention all that material again. Footnotes that immediately follow one another and are taken from the... 

SEARCH STRATEGY AND RESULTS On page A29 of the Materials Directory, only property f Is listed for Lactic Acid, substance number 221-0101. Since property code f is viscosity, do not look further in this volume for specific heat. However, if you go to Book 1, page 254, in the Basic Edition of the Retrieval Guide (Plenum, 1967), you will find that papers have been coded for specific heat. Continue the search in the Basic Edition, where in Book 2, page 223, under the same substance number 221-0101 you will find six entries with four different TPRC numbers 1252, 4676, 12862, and 13331. Finally, in Book 3 in the Basic Edition you can find the complete bibliographic citations for papers 1252, 4676, 12862, and 13331. (Books 1, 2, and 3 of the Basic Edition correspond directly to Parts A, B, and C of this six-volume Supplement I.)... 

Table 2.2 Synthesis of macromolecules by chain growth polymerization. Note The citation of literature in the right-hand column of the following tables should be understood as follows the number(s) in the first line(s) refer(s) to this book. For example, 3.2 means experiment number 2 in Chap. 3. The following line refers to Houben Weyl, Methoden der Organischtai Chemie, Vol. E20, Makromolekulare Stoffe Teil 1-3, Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, New York, 1987 (abbreviated HW). For example, the citation HW 135 refers to an experimental procedure described on page 135 thereof. The bottom line refers to H. R. Kricheldorf, Handbook of Polymer Synthesis, Vols. 1 and 2, Dekker, New York, 1992 (abbreviated K). For example, K 34 refers to further references given on page 34 of that book...

The third layer is within the endnotes foimd at the end of each chapter. These are conventional literature references, such as citations of journal articles or books. The most complete citation available is provided if page or volume or issue numbers aren t given, it s because they couldn t be found. 

There are two ways this section can be presented. If you put it at this location in the report, it should contain only references cited in the sections of the report preceding this section. References may be listed by number and cited in the text by this number, either as a superscript or as a number in parentheses or in brackets (preferred). Another method is to cite the reference by the author and year. You should consult the end of a chapter or the end of the book in any of your chemical engineering texts for the correct citation format. If you choose this method, then any references to data sources appearing in the Appendix should appear on the page on which that calculation is presented.
