Citing authors of printed books

A ready reckoner for academic writers.

You have created your bibliography but now you are in a quandary about citations; you have specific questions as to whether one has to cite all authors or just the first two authors. In this blog, PHD Assistance experts provide a reference table on how to cite references (printed books only) the right way particularly for one and more than one author.

The scope of this blog is limited to parenthetical citations (in-line or in-text citations) from printed books; hence, this article does not cover other nitty-gritties such as citing databases, images, newspapers, no known authors, online, etc.

CMS (or Chicago), APA, and MLA—these are the popular style manuals we particularly cover and show you how they vary when it comes to citations. Here is a quick snapshot of their usage for one, two, and more than two authors.

A citation is not required if common sense and ethics dictates so; for example, you do not need to cite common sayings and maxims or any common pool of information. Citing sources varies based on your readers and so if you are writing manuscripts for a scientific and academic paper then you need to cite your sources. Set the expectations on what involves common information.

Contemplating a literature review? Remember these sage tips from Ph.D. dissertation help guides. “What do researchers know? What do they not know? What has been researched and what has not been researched? Is the research reliable and trustworthy? Where are the gaps in the knowledge? When you compile all that together, you have yourself a literature review.” ― Jim Ollhoff, How to Write a Literature Review. As you write the Ph.D. engineering literature review, ensure you follow these tips to showcase your ideas  (Jensen) : Compare and contrast views of different authors; critique previous research work; reveal lapses in existing research; shed light on how your work relates to previous work; state problems, conflicts, debates, gaps; define a research area in a new way; and, probe previous work’s results. You must structure your lit review. Yes, these are the 2 ways you can arrange your  Ph.D. literature review .  A chronological structure lists the order of publicat

“Multiple Regression” strategy to deploy in your Phd Study

“Multiple Regression” strategy to deploy in your Phd Study You would know about linear regression. For the uninitiated, it is the simplest and most largely used statistical model for predictive modeling. Well, mathematicians generally prefer to describe values as either dependent or independent variables. Independent variables are the specific inputs of the experiment and dependent variables are the output. The dependent variables rely on the outcome of the experiment. The target variables rely on the independent variables. Difference between Linear Regression and Multiple  Regression analysis in Research Multiple regression is quite an extension of simple linear regression. It is applied when we want to estimate the value of a variable dependent on the value of two or more other variables. Now we will see in what way multiple regression is an extension of linear regression. While in the linear regression, we have to apply only one independent variable and dependent
