personal communication citations
Author: Alexander Shenkin    Posted: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:50:41 -0400
hello all, when i insert a personal communication reference into a word document, it is formatted just like a regular reference. Shouldn't it be formatted as a personal communication, which would vary with the output style? Usually, they're something like (Smith, Personal Communication). But instead of that, I'm getting (Smith, 2008). Any ideas? This seems odd. Thanks, Allie

I would just put the "Personal Communication" in the year, but most often Journals don't want it to appear in the references anyway, so I type it as I want it to appear, skipping endnote.

There will be an in-text citation and a bibliographic entry. Your chosen/expected style will determine whether it is "odd" or not.
