Fabian Huch (Jun 22 2023 at 13:56):What do you mean with "citing the AFP"? It is a journal with an ISSN, which you can use to refer to it.
Katharina Kreuzer (Jun 22 2023 at 13:57):I would just cite the webpage of the afp as a "@misc" entry (maybe add the ISSN in the note field?).
Fabian Huch (Jun 22 2023 at 13:59):I would argue it's a question of intention - if you want to refer to the webpage or information on it, refere to the page; if you want to refer to the journal, use the ISSN. A footnote is probably more suitable for both. Citations usually refer to published articles.
Zixuan Fan (Jun 22 2023 at 14:01):Thank you for the answers! I was intended to cite the webpage.
Mohammad Abdulaziz (Jun 23 2023 at 10:07):AFP entries, and websites in general, are data sets. You can cite them as such. One good explanation of how to do that is below:
