*A paraphrase does not require the specifics on the module, page, paragraph in the citation but these details can be included to help a reader find the relevant passage. For a paraphrase, one can use the form \u2013 (Red River College Polytechnic, n.d.). Or – Red River College Polytechnic (n.d.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For quotes or paraphrases from external (non-SECD) sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Within the SECD resources there are links to external reports, readings and websites, which are open access on the Internet. Cite these as original sources; they do not need to include reference to SECD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abbreviating the Group Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For in-text citations, the first time the citation is used, provide the full name, followed by the abbreviation. For example, in a parenthetical citation – (Red River College Polytechnic [RRC], n.d.) or within the narrative – Red River College Polytechnic (RRC, n.d.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For second and subsequent citations, use the abbreviated form \u2013 (RRC, n.d.) or RRC (n.d.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When citing multiple SECD resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are several different SECD editions (living textbooks as well as stand-alone modules). If the work includes citations from more than one SECD edition (e.g., the North American ed. and the Prenatal Development Module), include the lowercase letter (-a, -b, etc.) after n.d. in both the in-text citation and the reference list entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
