How to Cite Circulating American Magazines
Digital projects – especially collaborative ones with complex datasets – always prose a problem for academic citation. Here we offer some examples (modeled on those provided by the Princeton Prosody Archive) for citation of this project:
If your style guide requires a single entry, please use:
- Circulating American Magazines. James Madison University. http://sites.jmu.edu/circulating/. Accessed 15 July 2020.
If your style guide requires author names, please use:
- Hefner, Brooks E. and Edward Timke (eds.). Circulating American Magazines. James Madison University. http://sites.jmu.edu/circulating/. Accessed 15 July 2020.
While we intend for the data to remain stable throughout the life of the project, it is strongly recommended that you included the date you accessed the project.
How to Cite Forum Posts
Please use the name of the post’s author in these citations. For example:
- Hammill, Faye, “What is a Mass-Circulation Magazine?” Circulating American Magazines, 25 March 2020. http://sites.jmu.edu/circulating/. Accessed 15 July 2020.
