Re: Citing the list

[AJBell]

Dear Jacqui,

Thank you for the reply, however I was asking about citing pieces of macro code from places such as this list, and not the program itself.

Hi Andrew,

You do need to cite ImageJ. Have a look at the FAQ page here: http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/docs/faqs.html

This gives you 2 options for citing the program.

Kind regards,

Jacqui

Dear list

I am in the process of writing up some of my work, but I am not sure how I should go about citing piece's of macro code I have garnered from this list. Do I just cite the name as a personal communication or do I not need to worry at all? Is there accepted general practice?

I am keen for it not to appear as though I am trying to take credit in my work, for work carried out by others.

Sorry Andrew,

I obviously didn't read your email carefully enough. I hope that someone else will give you the answer you need.

Kind regards,

Jacqui

According to this page, http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/
an accepted citation form for your original post (a listserv message) could
be:

Andrew Bell. "Citing the list" ImageJ Interest Group. NIH Listserv, 8 Feb.
2012. Web. 24 Feb. 2012. <
https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=IMAGEJ;febb2aef.1202>

the URL, however, is not required, "Because Web addresses are not static
(i.e., they change often) and because documents sometimes appear in
multiple places on the Web (e.g., on multiple databases), MLA explains that
most readers can find electronic sources via title or author searches in
Internet Search Engines."

Interestingly, you can verify these by googling Andrew Bell. "Citing the
list" , and trying to access the "Permanent Links and Bibliography for the
Web" link listed in the 'External links' section from the Wikipedia entry
about Permalinks.

Sincerely,
Jerome.
