January 2007 Use
author-date-page citation, not just author-date "Citing whole books and articles is a disease" (McCloskey 2000: 48) in modern scholarship, which is spread by the author-date citation. "It is easier for the author to write 'See The General Theory' than to bother to find the page and sentence where Keynes, fatally, adopts the mistaken assumption of a closed economy" (McCloskey 2000: 49). Don't use the author-date citation except when making a point that is the point of the entire article you are citing. The rest of the time, add the page that you are citing. I have cited the exact page for years and editors rarely remove the pages from my work. Giving the pages will help your reader find what they need from your citations. Check out the outstanding book Economical Writing (2000) by Deirdre McCloskey. Good luck with it: if you have any questions or comments about writing, please contact me at tgray@nmsu.edu. I'd love to hear from you and will answer your questions. *********************** Use this listserv to communication with other academic authors Do you want to network with fellow academic author members?
