Reprints

Reprint sources gather information from other sources and reprint the information as a collection. For example, a book in the Opposing Viewpoints Series may contain information that was originally published as a newspaper article, web page, and a speech transcript. When you cite reprints, you must add the original source in parentheses following the elements of the reprinted sources.

If the reprint article title has not been changed from the original source, add a statement in parenthesis noting the original publication date.

For example: (Original work published 1960)

If the reprint article title has been changed from the original source, begin with the reprinted source and end with a statement in parentheses with the elements of the original source.

For example:

(Reprinted from Should we destigmatize mental illness? by R. E. Vatz, USA Today magazine, May 1996)
