Citing sources - Bibliothèque de Mines ParisTech

Citing sources Citations and bibliography In all written work (PhD thesis, dissertation, report, working file, paper, website… ) you have
to cite your sources, both :
- throughout the text by including in-text citations ;
- at the end of your document by listing all the references you have used and cited in
your work : this is bibliography.
Sources include anything on which you have drawn information, they may take multiple
forms : written (books, reports, dissertations, articles in magazines, newspapers or
encyclopedia,...) or oral (conferences, interviews,…), and may use different media : print,
online, television, radio, DVD, CD-Rom, multimedia…
In-text citations
To avoid plagiarism, in-text quotations should be placed between quotation marks and
mention the author(s), the date and page information where required. This enables the
reader to easily find the reference in the bibliography, as well as the appropriate section in the
referred source.
Example :
Selon Marchio et Reboux, « les transferts thermiques font partie des Sciences de base de
l’ingénieur (…). Au minimum, l’ingénieur doit donc : en connaître les principes
fondamentaux, être capable d’évaluer leur importance dans un problème particulier, dégager
les ordres de grandeurs par une modélisation simple » (2003, p. 1).
(…) indicates that at this point the quote is truncated.
Bibliography
Placed at the end of the text, the bibliography lists all the sources you have used in your work.
Its presentation follows precise rules. Unless they have been specified by a teacher, a research
adviser, or a publisher, you may follow the rules below. There exist other guidelines to
which you can refer (NF ISO 690 standard, MLA, APA, etc.).
NOTE : whatever presentation you choose, it must be homogeneous .
For example, if you choose to :
- place the year of publication after the authors’ names or at the end of a reference,
- indicate authors’ forenames or just initials,
- add book ISBN or not,
you have to apply these rules for all references with no exception .
