  1. Referencing BFA Writing Workshops Molly Duggins Molly.duggins@nas.edu.au

  2. Why we cite? Ultimately a method of giving credit acknowledging authors whose work you have used Show readers the accuracy of your facts Allow readers follow your research and locate materials Indicate to your lecturers the work you have read and show the research which informs your work

  3. A glossary! Citation the act of citing or quoting a reference to an author or creator. Footnote A footnote is a citation at the bottom of a page which provides more detailed information about something that is mentioned on that page.1 Bibliography a list of source materials that are used or consulted in the preparation of a work or that are referred to in the cited footnote. 1 Footnote. Collins Dictionary, accessed 20th April 2022, https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/footnote

  4. Basic elements of all citations Who- What- Where- When Author/s Title Publisher details Date published Page numbers (for journal articles or book chapters) URL or DOI (for online resources)

  5. Footnotes and the bibliography are formatted differently: Footnotes: 1 Philip Shaw, The Sublime (London: Routledge, 2017), 5. 2 Shaw, Sublime, 87. Bibliography: Shaw, Philip. The Sublime.

  9. When do I need a footnote? You should provide a footnote whenever you quote, paraphrase or summarise someone else s ideas: When you quote exact words from a source When you paraphrase ideas that are associated with a specific source, even if you don t directly quote it. This indicates the source of the idea or information and is a positive thing which demonstrates your research.

  10. When do I need a footnote? Bada Shanren used fish as symbols of the leftover subjects of the Ming .2 This is not common knowledge; someone had to work hard to discover this. However, Bada Shanren s painting depicts fish in a pond, which were common motifs in his work , doesn t need a footnote. Interpretations must be footnoted, whether these come directly from an author Bada Shanren s painting can be linked to the political context of the new Dynasty... , or speaking for the artist through an author, for instance Bada Shanren believed that...

  11. Where do I add a footnote? At the end of a sentence and after the punctuation. Use one footnote per sentence (don t interrupt the flow of your argument by including multiple notes in a sentence) If you need to clarify how you are using the source, do so in the footnote text (e.g. for the political interpretation of waves in late Edo woodblock prints, see Christine Guth... )

  12. How to format a footnote using Microsoft Word:

  13. Example of a footnote: Craft served as a medium through which to articulate personal, familial, social, and national affiliations, while fostering bonds of sentiment through its production and exchange.1 1 Talia Schaffer, Novel Craft: Victorian Domestic Handicraft and Nineteenth-Century Fiction (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2011), 14.

  14. When is a footnote unnecessary? You do not need to footnote NAS lectures. You do not need to footnote facts or generally accepted information: Chartres Cathedral was built in 1194. The Rococo style is associated with play, intimacy, and organicism. Turner s Rain, Steam and Speed (1844) applies the sublime to modern industry.

  15. Annotated Footnotes In addition to providing a reference, footnotes can also be used to clarify how you are using the reference: 1. For the political interpretation of waves in late Edo woodblock prints, see Christine Guth, Hokusai s Great Waves in Nineteenth-Century Japanese Visual Culture, The Art Bulletin 93, no. 4 (2011): 468-485.

  16. Annotated Footnotes Footnotes can also be used to provide your readers with additional information that is extraneous to your central argument, but which is nonetheless useful supplementary material. 22. Moreover, in an interview with the artist it was noted that she preferred the use of watercolour to pastels. See Joe Smith, A Conversation with a Pastel Painter , Artist Profile (August 2017): 53. *Annotated footnotes should be brief in length and should not be used to extend your central argument.

  17. Referencing more than one source in a sentence If you use two or more sources in a sentence, then they can both be included in a single footnote. Don t use two footnote markers in the one sentence.18, 19 Don t interrupt the flow of your argument by including multiple notes in a sentence: While Greenberg believed that flatness was everything17, Merleau-Ponty argued for the fullness of three dimensional space.18

  18. Referencing more than one source in a sentence Instead, combine your references into a single footnote at the end of the sentence: While Greenberg believed that flatness was everything, Merleau- Ponty argued for the fullness of three dimensional space.18 18. Clement Greenberg, Homemade Esthetics : Observations on Art and Taste (New York, N.Y.: Oxford University Press), 1999, 54-55; Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception, (London: Routledge), 2002, 90. Separate your references in the footnote using a semicolon.

  19. Subsequent References to the Same Source The first footnote to a specific source should include all relevant detail. Subsequent references to a source take a shorter form. First footnote: 8. Rosalind E. Krauss, Passages in Modern Sculpture (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1981), 27. Subsequent footnotes takes a shorter form (author surname, pg. number): 12. Krauss, 125. 13. Krauss, 127. *CMoS no longer supports the use of ibid. for subsequent references

  20. More than one reference by an author Where you use two or more sources by the same author, the subsequent shortened footnotes always include a shortened form of the title: First footnote: 8. Rosalind E. Krauss, Passages in Modern Sculpture (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1981), 27. 10. Rosalind E. Krauss, Under Blue Cup (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2011), 86 Subsequent footnotes: 13. Krauss, Passages, 127. 14. Krauss, Passages, 135. 15. Krauss, Under Blue Cup, 135. 16. Krauss, Passages, 149.
