Referencing interviews? (1 Viewer)

[cpjeeves]

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this - sorry if it's a dumb question. I'm writing an esay for CUL, and I want to quote something said in an interview by the subject/interviewee/etc. Does anyone know how this is cited in-text or referenced later?

Thanks, any help would be muchly appreciated.

I think the thing about referencing is that as long as you keep it consistent and logical, you're fine.

For footnoting, I would go for:

Interview between myself and <interviewee>, <location of interview>, <date>.

If you wanted to, you could reference the page of your notes, and be more formal by not referring to yourself in the first person, so for example:

C.P. Jeeves, Interview with J.S. Smith, Macquarie University, 11.11.06, p. 6 of notes. Notes on file.

Or something.

If you're doing in-text, I'd probably make yourself the author, the date, and then the page of notes:

(Jeeves 2006: 21)

(or whatever your style is.)

Then for the biblio:

Jeeves, C.P., Interview with J.S. Smith, Macquarie University, 11.11.06, p. 6 of notes. Notes on file.

I wouldn't italicise or put anything in quotation marks, ie, not 'Interview with J.S. Smith', or Interview with J.S. Smith, because it's just a description of what happened, if that makes sense?

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense!
