A Guide to Citations on the Results List

A citation on a results list, Marked Items list, or InfoMark contains key publication information, along with icons or links that summarize the type of content and retrieval options available for the corresponding document. Citations give you a concise view of your search results while providing a link to the full record for a specific document. Where available and relevant, citations may also contain links to related content within this database and/or to additional search services designed to facilitate your research. Some of these links may take you to third-party resources outside of this Gale collection.

Note: Citations on results list are not official bibliographic citations. To cite a document for notes and bibliography entries, use a standard style.

The table below explains the icons/links you may see as part of a results citation. Remember, clicking the document's hyperlinked title takes you directly to the document display page, where you'll find the full record of the corresponding document. You may change the way results are sorted using the Sort by drop-down list, where available.
