Byzantine Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I want to cite [i]The Holy Gospels: A Byzantine Perspective[/i] for a paper I'm going to write. The priest who wrote it is both SSL and STD. How would I cite him? His creeds aren't listed in the book, but I know about them from elsewhere.

Ed Normile Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Just don't say " I know this priest with an STD who said ..." ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byzantine Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Would "Custer, Rev. John S, SSL, STD" be acceptable? Or is that too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Therese Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Is this APA or MLA citation? Anyway, for a bibliography, the citation listed above would be appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byzantine Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 [quote name='Marie-Therese' timestamp='1353771088' post='2515918'] Is this APA or MLA citation? Anyway, for a bibliography, the citation listed above would be appropriate. [/quote] I was thinking of going with Turabian. I like footnotes. Is that still acceptable?

truthfinder Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Turabian is a form of Chicago, and in Chicago I've never seen where you list credentials in the citation. You might do it after the citation but not in the citation itself. Example. Smith, John. [i]This A.wesome Book[/i]. City: Publisher, Year. Dr. Smith is an expert on extraterrestrial zoology. Footnotes are still in, but it depends on the field and for whom you're citing (some journals create their own forms of Chicago/Turabian.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuscipeMeDomine Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'm with Truthfinder. You list the name, not the credentials.

IcePrincessKRS Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Yeah, my college used Turabian and I don't recall ever using credentials in a footnote or bibliography. I'd leave it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qfnol31 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yeah, I'll just repeat what has been said here. Turabian does not use those sorts of credentials. I have my students learn how to use Turabian and would count off if they were to include credentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
