LITERATURE USING
STANDARD STYLE
CHAPTER 4: LESSON 2
What am I Citing?

 Books – A collection of books that provides information about a


certain topic.
 Magazines – A popular work published periodically (weekly, monthly,
etc.) focusing on a specific subject of interest.
 Newspaper – A periodical publication containing news, events,
interview and opinion article.
 Computer – A collection of electronic materials that provides
information about a certain thing.
 Journal – A scholarly work published periodically containing highly
classified research.
 Film – A motion picture or movie. Can be fictional, documentary or
even YouTube videos.
Referencing Styles

 APA – is an author/date based style. This means emphasis is


placed on the author and the date of a piece of work to uniquely
identify it.
 MLA – is most often applied in the arts and the humanities,
particularly in the U.S.A.
 HARVARD – is very similar to APA. It is most well-used referencing
style in the UK and Australia, and it is encouraged for use with the
humanities.
 CHICAGO & TURABIAN – are two separate styles but very similar.
They are also widely used for history and economics.
Ways of Citing Related Literature

 By author or writer
Example: According to Felipe (2015)………….
 By topic
Example: It has been found out that………………….. (Felipe, 2015)
 By Chronology – according to the year the literatures were
written, usually from earliest to latest.
Continuation…

Note: Only major findings, ideas, generalizations, principles or


conclusions in related materials relevant to the problem should be
cited. A material may be quoted if the idea conveyed is so
perfectly stated and is not too long.
Example:
According to Felipe, “pregnancy is a condition where women
should take extra care of themselves, there is also a need to
consult with a doctor to check if everything, if both the mother
and the baby are doing fine” (Felipe, 2015).

TAKE NOTE!!

 A word of caution on the use of Secondary sources: Try to keep their use to
a minimum by getting hold of and reading the Primary sources. Primary
sources contain more information which allows you to critically evaluate
and interpret the information yourself rather than relying on another
author’s second-hand and possibly biased account (Dempster and
Hanna, 2016).
 It is acceptable to use secondary sources if: You can’t get hold of the
original source (for example, it may be out of print)
a) The original source is in a language you can’t understand
b) The original is very complex ( for example, some statistical journal
articles can be hard getting).
