How to properly cite items, giving credit for your sources:
I like most of you vaguely remember from college courses or self-education (like me) that there is a standard acceptable way to quote (cite) other peoples work. As we become more in line with standard practices, we will need to have a method to give credit to our sources when it is not our personnel “opinions and experiences”.
I have for us a little bit of information on the ways now being use. When possible please try to use one of these examples.
PLEASE NOTE: In the below examples you will see the actual hyperlinks. In the article all hyperlinks create from a word to keep the site clean. Example: Boston Terrier Network the instructions on using the editor program will break down how to do this.
9. Reprints and Permissions
Reprinting material in print publications example
If you would like to reprint an article from The Pet Loss Support Page in print format -- e.g., in a newsletter or publication -- you are welcome to do so, provided that you include the following information:
The byline of "Moira Anderson Allen, M.Ed." The byline should be clearly indicated. Articles may not be reprinted anonymously or attributed to another author, or reprinted in such a way as to suggest that they are the work of the reprinting organization or site.
A copyright notice. The reprint should clearly state "Copyright (year of article - which you can find on the website) Moira Allen" or "Moira Anderson Allen". Please note that under all circumstances, copyright to the material on this site remains with the author.
Reprinting material on websites
You may reprint up to three articles from this site on your own website or blog, or in an e-mail newsletter. The same restrictions noted above apply: The material must include the byline of "Moira Anderson Allen, M.Ed.", a copyright notice, and a link back to the Pet Loss Support Page. Material may not be reprinted in such a way as to remove my authorship or to imply that the material was originated by the reprinting site.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY USE OF MY MATERIAL THAT DOES NOT CONFORM TO THESE GUIDELINES CONSTITUTES AN INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT AND WILL BE ADDRESSED ACCORDINGLY.
Quoting from the articles
If you are writing an article on pet loss, you are welcome to quote from the articles on this site (or my book), within reason. This does not mean building an article out of quotes from the site, but rather, using quotes to support your original material. I am also happy to provide interviews - I prefer e-mail interviews but can also provide phone interviews. For an interview, please contact Moira Allen.
