New Members Ria.Ldn Posted November 29, 2014 at 09:43 PM New Members Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 at 09:43 PM Hi, medium-time lurker on this site but my first post! I'm currently translating an academic article, and obviously this includes citations. How does this work in Chinese: e.g. is it passive? For example, in English one example is 'Interview with author, (+date)'. At this point I am writing some thing like '2014年11月14日，对作者的采访， but I feel like there may be some more academic way of putting it. I am familiar with general bibliography/referencing in Chinese, (author, year, book title etc), but this is in-text referencing and a slightly different situation... Thanks in advance for any help!

I thought for interviews and newspaper articles you write out the full date? Or is that only for referencing, and not in-text citation?

Hofmann Posted December 1, 2014 at 02:01 AM Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 at 02:01 AM I'm sure for the style I use (APA). Regardless of whether it's an interview, or an article, or a book, or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
