How To Cite Other Things

How do you cite an interview, something from social media, a patent, or a public web page?
  • Please check this guide's pages for APA, MLA, Chicago, and More Styles. They will give examples of how to cite things that are not books or journal articles

Note: Sometimes there is no guidance about how to cite a particular kind of item. In those cases:
-- Choose an item that is somewhat similar to your item, if possible
-- Include as much information as possible; it is always important to err on the side of too much information than not enough

The MD Anderson Center (University of Texas) gives information for how to cite a package insert in AMA style for a print source and from the FDA website.
  • It mentions EndNote, but the information can be adapted for any citation tool
  • In RefWorks, for example, it would be good to insert the citation manually by going to the plus (+) sign and choosing "journal article" as the template, which you would then adapt
