Email libgpdGuide: Citing IGO Publications

GUIDE TO CITING INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION PUBLICATIONS Basic Citation Form | Issuing Agency as Author | United Nations Publications | European Union Publications | Citing publications used in research papers, articles, etc. are not exercises designed to strain the patience of writers. They are locators for material used and should be as precise and succinct as good road directions. The form of the citation is not sacrosanct but is used for uniformity and is a valuable tool for communication. This guide provides examples of the most common examples of international organization (IGO) document citations. This does not include documents of non-governmental organizations, such as the Red Cross, or those of national governments. These examples are based on the Chicago standard bibliographic style. You may need to modify the citation to conform to the manual/form you are required to use. If your publication does not fall into any of these categories, please see the Government Publications Staff for more detailed guidance.

Refer to The Indiana University Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct for more information on the issue of plagiarism.
