    SZABIST (A university in Pakistan) SZABIST is pronounced as "S-Zebist", i.e. 1st letter (S) is pronounced as Initialism, while rest of it (ZABIST) is pronounced as one word i.e. "Zebist".. So the "ZABIST" is pronounced as both the "Initialism" & "Acronym". What actually "ZABIST" is? Is it an "Initialism" or an "Acronym"?

      Typically, editors will go after the title of the work. The initial of the given name goes first, followed by the surname and the letters 'Ed.' following in parentheses. Something like this. J. Horn (Ed.).

    When do you include DOI

    • @jasonhorn901
      @jasonhorn901 3 місяці тому

      Whenever you access the source online, you need to provide a means to access it. In the case of journal articles, that typically means using a DOI link (though in rare cases a journal article may not have a DOI, son in those cases you'll use the article's URL). However, there are some online books published by journals or databases that are assigned a DOI. Thus, if you access and ebook and it has an DOI link/number, then you'll provide that in your reference. If it is an online book but there is only a traditional URL and not a DOI, then you'll simply use the URL. If it is a print book, then you don't need to include any online information

    • @jasonhorn901
      @jasonhorn901 6 місяців тому

      The idea approach is to go to those sources and cite them directly. I don't know that there is a format for multiple indirect citations because the punctuation would make it syntactically ambiguous as to which sources were cited indirectly. The other options are to simply cite one of the sources indirectly or narrative frame the conclusion as being based on a literature review. For instance, "Based on a review of current literature, Makridakis (2017) reports that... Hope this helps :)

    Really nice vid, thanks! ..Though still struggling with why it's 'hard-working' but 'brilliantly written'?? ..The -ly seems to mean no hyphen but still can't quite see the reasoning as they both modify!

    • @jasonhorn901
      @jasonhorn901 8 місяців тому

      It can be tricky because of irregular adverbs. And you are 100%: They both modify. And these are GREAT examples. The question though is "What do they modify?" Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Adjectives modify nouns. If you have and adverb modifying and adjective, that is in turn modifying a noun, then no hyphen is needed. In your example, a 'brilliantly written novel' needs no hyphen because 'brilliantly' is an adverb that describe the adjective 'written' (which is a bit of odd adjective in that context but it can serve as an adjective) which in turn modifies the noun. In 'hard working horse.' That's tricky. Is 'hard' an irregular adverb (without an 'ly') that is modifying the adjective 'working'? If so, no hyphen because it is describing 'horse.' However, it 'working' functions as a noun (the act of working) that is being described as 'hard' (and adjective in that case) and the two are collectively describing the horse, then a hyphen would be needed. The semantics of that particular issue are interesting, and though there are subjective interpretations and potentially different intent, I've seen this combination typically hyphenated or simply put together in one word with no hyphen: hardworking. I often use Google ngram viewer to determine what the most prevalent usage is because, regardless of how 'prescriptive' grammatical rules suggest something should be done, 'descriptive' approaches simply observe how language is used, and how something is most often used usually ends up defining the rules that eventually get prescribed. Here's a link to the Google ngram view on 'hard working,' 'hard-working,' and 'hardworking,' all of which have been used. And thanks for the great question. I hope this helped: books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=hard+working%2C+hard-working%2C+hardworking&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3

    Dear sir, I am IM HOL, as a student at NUCK in Cambodia. I am not sure how to write the reference in the book with Volume and the name of the book is HANDBOOK OF RUBBER Volume 1 Agronomy. Edited by L.M.K. Tillekeratne Director. So could you please write the reference in APA style. Would like to say thanks a million for your kind. Kind regards, IM HOL

      The template provided by APA looks like this: Harris, K. R., Graham, S., & Urdan T. (Eds.). (2012). APA educational psychology handbook (Vol. 1). American Psychological Association. Follow that template, and you should be good (but be sure to italicize the title. The italics doesn't show up in UA-cam's comments section. Hope this helps.

    • @jasonhorn901
      @jasonhorn901 Рік тому

      It looks like you've answered your own question. If pages are separated (which often happens in newspapers), and you are citing the print version (which is far less common now), you'd do something like (1, 4-5), separating the different ranges. I have another video on journal article specifically. Those will be formatted as you have, with the volume number italicized.
