Special Situations: 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 provide information about the original source and the reprint source. The format depends on if the reprint changed the original title or not.

If the reprint article title has not been changed from the original source, begin with the original and end with the reprint.

If the reprint article title has been changed from the original source, begin with the reprint and end with the original.
