</p><p>
<b>How to use this publication</b>
</p><p><i>Citing Medicine</i> gives information on constructing citations at three
levels:</p>
<ol><li id="A63360" class="half_rhythm"><div><b>Diagrammed Citation</b> - Many people need to format a non-complex
citation and want to know how to format a citation, without learning why it
should be structured that way. The picture of the sample citation and the
broad guidelines (what we're calling the Introduction) will be enough for
many people in this group.</div></li><li id="A63361" class="half_rhythm"><div><b>General Rules and Examples</b> - A smaller number of people will
need to view the General Rules and Examples sections to get more
information. They either will have a specific problem to solve or their work
requires them to build a general knowledge of citation that they can later
apply to specific cases. For this group we lay out why citations are
structured the way they are and show them what types of citations exist
(Examples) and what special, difficult cases they may encounter (Specific
Rules).</div></li><li id="A63362" class="half_rhythm"><div><b>Specific Rules</b> - A yet smaller number of people will need to
enter the Specific Rules section to solve a specific problem, such as
handling non-English citations.</div></li></ol>
<p>The Library intends <i>Citing Medicine</i> to be an evolving publication. Join

<b>History</b>
</p><p>This publication updates and supersedes two existing publications: <ul class="simple-list"><li id="A63363" class="half_rhythm"><div>National Library of Medicine Recommended Formats for Bibliographic Citation
(1991).</div></li><li id="A63364" class="half_rhythm"><div>National Library of Medicine Recommended Formats for Bibliographic
Citation.Internet Supplement (2001).</div></li></ul>
</p><p>
<b>Why a new edition?</b>
</p>
<ol><li id="A63365" class="half_rhythm"><div> NLM changed some of the rules for citations in MEDLINE/PubMed. For example,
we changed the number of authors taken to all and added a period at the end
of the journal title abbreviation.</div></li><li id="A63366" class="half_rhythm"><div>The National Information Standards Organization issued a new standard for
Bibliographic References in 2005 (ANSI/NISO Z39.29).</div></li><li id="A63367" class="half_rhythm"><div>The volume and types of publications on the Internet have vastly increased.
For example, instructions on citing wikis and blogs are now included.</div></li><li id="A63368" class="half_rhythm"><div>We wished to incorporate the feedback received from users over the years.
Users wanted: <ul><li id="A63369" class="half_rhythm"><div>More information about each type of publication, e.g., on the
various possible titles for conferences</div></li><li id="A63370" class="half_rhythm"><div>More information on each part of a citation, e.g., author
surnames followed by III or Jr</div></li><li id="A63371" class="half_rhythm"><div>More examples</div></li><li id="A63372" class="half_rhythm"><div>HTML format</div></li></ul>
