What are some general guidelines to remember when citing ERIC documents?
• ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) documents with ED accession numbers are usually, but not always, unpublished resources. If they are unpublished, you include the ED number in the citation. • Give the ERIC number is parentheses at the end of the entry unless the document was obtained full text online. In that case, the retrieval statement is last. • In cases of publications of limited circulation, the name and address of the publisher should be included in parentheses after the title and before the ERIC ED number. • Only documents such as ERIC digests that are actually obtained full text from the ERIC database should include a retrieval statement with ERIC as the source. • If journal articles or ERIC ED documents are indexed in ERIC, but are retrieved in another database, the retrieval statement needs to cite the database where the full text document was retrieved.
