7、tandard has been prepared under the direction of the Information and Documentation Standards Policy Committee. It supersedes BS 5605:1978, which is withdrawn. BS 5605 was first issued in 1978 as a summary for authors and editors of the recommendations given in BS 1629:1976 for citing one published d

8、ocument in another, and for setting out lists of references to documents. Citation of unpublished documents is the subject of BS 6371:1983. The 1989 revision of BS 1629 extended its scope to include documents published in forms other than print, e.g. microforms, computer software, sound recordings,

9、as well as a wider range of document, e.g. maps, illustrations. This revision of BS5605 incorporates corresponding changes. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance

10、with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to 6, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had a

11、mendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on theinside front cover.BS5605:1990 BSI 05-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard makes recommendations for authors and editors on the preferred methods of citing and referencing published documents and provides a summary of the ma

12、in principles to be followed. It applies to all the different kinds of work that might be cited. NOTE 1Further information about references to published material is given in BS 1629 and to unpublished material in BS6371. NOTE 2The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on

13、 the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard, the following definitions apply. 2.1 contribution an item provided by an originator to form part of a host document from several originators, e.g. an article in a periodical 2.2 document a combination of a medium and th

14、e information recorded on or in it 2.3 material designation an indication of the physical medium of a document, with details of any special equipment needed to consult it, e.g. “35 mm sound film”, “45 rev/min stereo sound disk” 2.4 monograph a publication, in print or non-print form, complete in its

15、elf or intended to be completed in a finite number of parts 2.5 originator the person, people or organization responsible for the intellectual content of a document or contribution 2.6 reference a set of data describing a document or part of a document, sufficiently precise and detailed to identify

16、it and to enable it to be located 2.7 serial a publication in print or non-print form, issued in successive parts, usually having numerical or chronological designations, and intended when first published to be continued indefinitely 3 Methods of citation in the text 3.1 Relation between citation an

17、d reference Any citation within the text of a document should be linked to the corresponding reference in accordance with one of the methods described in 3.2, 3.3 and3.4. 3.2 Name and date system (Harvard system) The originators name and the year of publication of the document cited are given after

18、each reference in the text. If the originators name occurs naturally in the text, the year follows in parentheses, but if not, both name and year are in parentheses. If details of particular parts of a document are required, e.g.page numbers for printed material, track or title number of sound recor

19、ding, they should be given after the year within the parentheses. For cited documents containing a number of contributions, a role with which a single originator is associated should be preferred to any role with which several originators are associated. If this is not possible, and there are two or

20、iginators, the surnames of both should be given before the date. If there are more than two originators, the surname of the first originator only should be given, followed by “et al”. If two or more documents have the same originator and year, they are distinguished by lower-case letters (a, b, c, e

21、tc.), following the year and within the parentheses. For cited documents with no originator, “Anon” should be used. Example The notion of an invisible college has been explored in the sciences (Crane 1972). Its absence among historians is noted by Stieg(1981b, p. 556). It may be, as Burchard(1965) p

22、oints out, that they have no assistants or are reluctant to delegate (Smith1980; Chapman 1981) 3.3 Numeric system Numerals in the text, in parentheses or superscript, refer to documents in the order in which they are first cited. Subsequent citations of a particular document receive the same number

23、as the first citation. If details of particular parts of a document are required, e.g. page numbers for printed material, track or title number of sound recording, they should be given either after the numerals or in the reference list.BS5605:1990 2 BSI 05-1999 Examples a) The notion of an invisible

24、 college has been explored in the sciences 26 . Its absence among historians is noted by Stieg13 p. 556 . It may be, as Burchard 8points out, that they have no assistants, or are reluctant to delegate 27, 28 b) The notion of an invisible college has been explored in the sciences (26). Its absence am

25、ong historians is noted by Stieg (13 p.556). It may be, as Burchard (8) points out, that they have no assistants, or are reluctant to delegate (27, 28) 3.4 Running notes Numerals in the text, in parentheses or superscript, refer to notes, numbered in the order they occur in the text, that contain re

26、ferences and sometimes other information. If details of particular parts of a document are required, e.g. page numbers for printed material, track or title number of sound recording, they should be given in the notes. Multiple citations of one document receive separate numbers. Example The notion of

27、 an invisible college has been explored in the sciences 32 . Its absence among historians is noted by Stieg 33 . It may be, as Burchard 34points out, that they have no assistants, or are reluctant to delegate 35 4 Location and arrangement of reference lists 4.1 Harvard system In the Harvard system r

28、eferences are listed at the end of the text. Entries are arranged in alphabetical order of originator, subdivided, if necessary, by year and letter. Example BURCHARD, J.E., 1965.

College and Research Libraries, 42 (6), pp. 549-560. 4.2 Numeric system In the numeric system references are listed at the end of

31、 the text. Entries are in numerical order. Example 4.3 Running notes Running notes are set out in their numerical order. They are placed either below the text on the page where they occur or at the end of the text or of any division of it, e.g. chapter. A note that refers to a document cited in an e

32、arlier note either repeats the full reference or gives the number of the earlier note, with any necessary sub-division, e.g. page number. If names are abbreviated, note number 1 explains all such abbreviations or states where explanations may be found. 8. BURCHARD, J.E. How humanists use a library.

35、l of History,1981.BS5605:1990 BSI 05-1999 3 Examples 5 Elements of a reference 5.1 Source of data The data for a reference should be taken from the cited document itself in the form which appears most prominently on the title page or equivalent, e.g. disk label, or from the heading of a contribution

36、. Any additional information supplied by the citer should be given in square brackets. An eye-legible source should be preferred to any other. If possible, the citer should view machine-readable, microform or other audiovisual text to verify data, and should note any differences in brackets. The gui

37、dance in 5.2 to 5.6 illustrates the principles that apply to most documents. For further advice in deciding the appropriate originator, title, etc., seeBS 1629. 5.2 Transliteration Any element not in the roman alphabet should be transliterated or romanized if necessary, in accordance with an appropr

38、iate British Standard, e.g. BS 2979, BS 4280 or BS 4812. 5.3 Order of elements The basic order of elements in normal references should be: a) originator, if any; b) year 1) ; c) title; d) material designation, if necessary; e) production (publisher or equivalent); f) year 1) ; g) numeration within t

39、he item (if only a part is cited); h) location of the item, if rare. 5.4 Titles If a title is insufficient in itself to identify the document, additional information should be added, e.g. the place of the publication in parentheses for a periodical, “Nature (London)”. The title of the main document,

40、 but not a contribution, should be distinguished typographically, e.g. set in italic or underlined. For further advice see BS 5261-1. 5.5 Other information If necessary, the type of document should be stated, e.g. “software”, “sound film”, “map”, or other information relevant to the particular purpo

41、se of the citation added, e.g. names of subsidiary originators such as translators, conductors; size or format; language; priority dates of patents; series numeration; availability. 5.6 Examples The following examples illustrate typical references, in the order for the numeric system. In the Harvard

42、 system, the date follows the originators name. a) 1. The abbreviations used are: CRUS = Centre for Research on User Studies UGC = University Grants Committee 8. BURCHARD, J.E.
