FYE Why Sport Matters - Ellis

Activity 1: How Journals are Organized

  1. In your groups, put your issues of the American Journal of Physics into order.
    Pay attention to the numbering system - it is a fantastic shortcut!
  2. Be prepared to share your process with the class. How did your group determine what order to put them in?

Understanding the Parts of a Citation

 

Example of a Print Journal:

In-Text Citation: (Scruton, 1996)    OR, if you used a quote: (Scruton, 1996, p.7)

Reference: Scruton, R. (1996). The eclipse of listening. The New Criterion, 15(3), 5-13.

Example of an Online Journal:

In-Text Citation: (Baniya & Weech, 2019)    OR, if you used a quote: (Baniya & Weech, 2019, pp.14-15)

 

Reference: Baniya, S., & Weech, S. (2019). Data and experience design: Negotiating community-oriented digital research with service-learning. Purdue Journal of Service-Learning and International Engagement, 6(1), 11–16. https://www.jstor.org/stable/26537363

Activity 2: Using Citations

The reason you need to "read" a citation is so you can find the article being cited. Researchers often use the references list at the end of a paper to find other articles for their own work.

To give you some hands-on experience, below is a citation for each group. Use the information in the citation to find the article it is citing in the American Journal of Physics. When you find it, let me know!
