Zines at Brown University and beyond

1. Inform a reader that material in your work, such as a quote, image, or idea, came from another source.
2. Acknowledge the work of others and provide pathways to their work.
3. Provide context to your argument in a larger scholarly discussion.
4. Establish your credibility as a serious scholar by providing evidence that you have thoroughly considered the topic.
5. Failure to cite, or citing improperly, is considered plagiarism.

You need to provide enough information for your reader to easily find your sources. The information that you include in a citation depends somewhat on the type of source, e.g. book, book chapter, journal article, or website.

Citations for zines should include:

• Zine creator (if there is no author listed, or the author is anonymous, do not include)
• Title of the zine
• Issue and/or volume number, if applicable
• Date issued
• Place of publication
• Pages you are referencing

All of this information may not be available for each zine, but include as much information as you can.
