How should I cite a posting from this blog in something I write?
With the importance of the Internet growing as a component of academic discourse, standards are evolving for citing references that are based in this non-traditional resource. As with all citations of sources of material you quote or reference in your writing, you should include the name of the author, the title of the item you are citing, the publication (or web site name) where the cited writing appeared, and, for a web source, the specific URL of the page to which you are referring, plus the date on which you read or copied the material in question. For example, if you were to cite something I had written in one of my postings in this blog, your citation could be:
- Jason, H. Medical school curriculum - Part 1: We must do better than we're now doing. http://rethinkmeded.blogspot.com/search/label/Change%2FInnovation, accessed Jan. 25, 2012.
You can learn more about the citation process in two Wikepedia pages: Citing Sources and Citation Templates.
