AILLA Citation Guidelines

Online resources must be cited just like any other published resource, whenever you use them as the basis of your work or quote from them. The International Standards Organization (ISO) has established guidelines for citing online resources, which we have adapted slightly for citing AILLA's resources.

Examples

1. Olowiktinappi. (1970). "Report from a curing specialist." [online] Joel Sherzer, (Res.) http://www.ailla.org: Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America. Access=public. KUA001R004

2. Sánchez Morales, Germán. (1994). "Satornino y los soldados." [online] Heidi Johnson, (Res.) http://www.ailla.org: Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America. Access=standard. ZOH001R025.

3. Suárez, Jorge A. (Res.) (1966). Lista de palabras en Tehuelche. [online] Proyecto Tehuelche. http://www.ailla.org: Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America. Access=public. TEH001R001.

4. Patricio Tolentino, Angelita y Nicoláas Vigueras Patricio. (1990). "La llorona que lavaba en el mar." [online] Susan Smythe Kung, (Res.) http://www.ailla.org: Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America. Access=restricted. TPW001R048.

Guidelines

(Adapted from ISO 690-2)

A complete reference includes the following elements, in order:

  • Primary responsibility (Required). From the Participants section of the Results display. This is the name of the person or persons who have primary responsibility for creating the resource. For recordings, it's the person whose voice is heard - the narrator, singer, chanter, orator, etc. For written works, it is the author, annotator, translator, etc. - whoever did the main job of writing that piece. There may be several people who should be listed as co-creators here, just as many articles and books have several authors. If the team has a collective name (like a music group), you can use that. In some cases, there may only be the name of the Researcher who collected the recording, even though their voice doesn't appear in it; in these cases, just list the Researcher first, and identify the role with the abbreviation (Res.), as shown in example 3.
  • Date created (Required). From the Date Created field on the Results display.
  • Title (Required). From the Title field of the Results display. If that field is blank, just write "Shokleng discourse" or "Kalapalo language transcription" or something like that.
  • Type of medium (Required).This is always [online] for AILLA resources.
  • Subordinate responsibility (Optional). From either the Participants section or the Project Name field of the Results display. This is where we normally put the name of the researcher who collected the resource, if there is one, identified with the abbreviation (Res.). This is shown in examples 1, 2 and 3. You could use the name of the Project for which the resource was created, if that is provided in the metadata, as shown in example 4.
  • Place of publication (Required). This is always the same: http://www.ailla.org: Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America.
  • Availability and access (Required). Access = public for all Level 1 resources. Access = restricted for all other levels.
  • Resource identification number (Required). This is the Resource ID that appears at the top of each Resource Information page.

Comments and suggestions about ways in which these guidelines and the citation format could be improved are always welcome; please write to us.
