Scientific citations.

From: Jason Hernandez <jason.hernandez74 at yahoo.com> on 2017.01.23 at 15:00:12(23736) Okay, I know how to cite books and papers in a scientific paper. If, for instance, I wanted to cite Deni Brown's most excellent aroid book, second edition, I would cite it in-text as (Brown 2010), and then put the full details in my Works Cited section. I also know what if she were to communicate something to me directly, and I were to cite that, it would appear in-text as (Brown, personal communication), and not appear in the Works Cited. My question: suppose I were to cite a communication made to a listserv? How would I cite it in-text, and would I list the listserv in the Works Cited? +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

From: MARC GIBERNAU <gibernau at univ-corse.fr> on 2017.01.24 at 07:29:04(23740) Hello Jason, Excellent question, you pinpoint a "modern" problem on the information within the "social" network. I don't rule if there is an official rule but the ways to cite such reference can be two: - Since a listserv is not "controlled" (by a board of expert), you can cite it as name, pers. comm. (it has the same "value" as a personal email). - if you want to highlight the mailing-list then you can cite name, year and add the complete source in the list of references author's name, year, listserv information and the exact date of the message (or the "number" of the post)... a bit as it's done for information from a web site. I hope it helps but the question is not resolved!
