Post 2: Sources
I still feel as though I'm floundering a bit, but I think I've started to solidify my topic. I'm considering writing about how improper citation use affects engagement with an article. Improper citation use in this case means any mistakes with the formatting, but also excessive use of self-citing. I am planning to track engagement with an article by looking at the number of times it is cited in other articles (aside from the author themselves). I want to see if there is any significant correlation. Some sources I've found about citations thus far are as follows: Bugeja, Michael, et al. “Online Citations in History Journals: Current Practice and Views from Journal Editors.” American Journalism , vol. 25, no. 4, Oct. 2008, pp. 83–100. EBSCOhost , https://doi.org/10.1080/08821127.2008.10678137. De Maeyer, Juliette. “Citation Needed.” Journalism Practice , vol. 8, no. 5, Jan. 2014, pp. 532–41.
