Crediting others
- Proper citations are a hallmark of any solidly written report,
and are often useful in other forms of publications.
Citing ยท
Help & how-to (2016) refers to several style guides; pick a
suitable style and use it consistently. Especially
see its section "Why cite?".
- If your report or presentation uses an active format such as PDF
or HTML, URLs in citations should be clickable.
- For citations, submit a working link to a freely-readable
copy if available, and also submit a working link to a URL based on
digital
object identifiers (DOIs) if available. Here is an example citation
using Vancouver
system format:
The citation's title hyperlinks to a freely-readable resource
<https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01258368/document>.
"ACM Comput Surv" is a standard abbreviation for
ACM Computing Surveys,
"2017;49(4):60" contains the year, volume, issue, and article or
page numbers, and the DOI hyperlinks to <http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/3002171>.
Unfortunately, freely-available resources
are often preliminary or ephemeral or both; when available, a DOI
can permanently nail down the final, stable version even
if it's not freely readable. For more about DOIs, see
How
to share a link to an article with your students and
collaborators (2016).

Web
of Science Journal Title Abbreviations for a list of
reasonably-standard journal-title abbreviations.
