  • Abstract and Index and Web Discovery Services IEEE Partners
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract and Index and Web Discovery Services IEEE Partners Introduction This document is intended to provide a general overview of the abstract and indexing services and web discovery services that take in IEEE content. While this report is intended to provide readers with information on IEEE content indexed and in what service, there are several things to keep in mind: Services identified in this report do not cover everything in IEEE’s Xplore Digital Library either because IEEE does not provide all content to these services, or because only certain content was selected by a partner. Some services add and delete titles regularly, or include only select articles, in order to maintain a database that is relevant to their audience. While IEEE may provide a data feed for a particular subscription package (noted in the tables below), partners are not required to index all content. Most partners update their products at varying intervals and many Abstract and Indexing Services do not include corrected or updated article information. As a result, and given that these services and our agreements with these partners can and do change, readers of this report are encouraged to contact Krista Thom, Publishing Relations Program Specialist at [email protected] with specific questions. Abstract & Indexing Services Abstract and indexing services maintain databases, often subject-specific, which users can search to find relevant content. The data included in these services may be peer-reviewed journals, books, reports, and other types of content. Unlike web scale discovery services, these services collect metadata (including abstracts) from publishers and other organizations into large repositories or indexes.

  • MLA Or APA Why Cite Sources
    Citing Sources in MLA or APA Why cite sources • Your teacher requires it. • Your readers can check your sources for accuracy or context. • Your topic and/or writing may inspire your readers to research your topic in more depth and the bibliography/works cited list can give them a place to start. • In order to avoid plagiarism, it is important to “Give credit where credit is due” and always identify the source of non- original material used in your paper. • A quick scan of your citations gives your readers an idea of the caliber of your sources and thus the caliber of your exposition. When citing sources • Be consistent with style elements. • Include all available appropriate information to enable readers to find your source. • Adhere to style guidelines so that your readers can quickly determine the format* of the original source. • Create bibliographic/work cited citations on-the-fly as you research your topic. • Create a citation for each useful resource whether you quote or paraphrase anything from it in the final paper or not – sources not cited within the body of the paper should not be included in the final works cited list. *Format may be book, journal article, newspaper article, Web page, interview, radio broadcast, doctoral thesis, government report, blog, and so on. Each format will require slightly different information in the citation to enable future retrieval. Style Guides There are many style manuals that provide guidelines for specific disciplines, industries, or uses. A few of the most popular manuals are listed below; there are others so be sure to use the manual recommended by your instructor.
