| QUALITY INDEX |
| Public Health E-News Index |
The purpose of this Web page is to provide documentation about how to cite Public Health E-News as a scholarly source of information in APA format, and to provide a listing of all the sources I use to compile the monthly newsletter. To this end I have tried my best to be a good reporter - I do make an effort to provide all sides of any issues that come up, and am not interested in advocating for any particular issue. To me, being informed is to have the opportunity to look at all sides of the issue and then make an informed decision of what's presented.
The purpose of the newsletter is to provide broad coverage of what's going on in Public Health, predominately in the U.S. Although I am trying to provide info about international public health issues, I have not found too many sources. If you know of any, please let me know.
Content is determined by: (1)Poll responses and (2)whatever comes across my computer via listservs and electronic mailing lists I subscribe to. I have made an effort to subscribe to as many different listservs and electronic mailings as possible (See listing below). It takes me approximately 6 hours a month to edit the material. In most instances where I must truncate, I do so for the sake of saving space, but try my best to retain "the essence" of the piece. In every case I do provide the source, so you are free to check the "original" source for the full article/citation, etc.
Public Health E-News is an electronic newsletter sent out monthly to subscribers. It is recommended by Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. You can subscribe on a number of pages on the Betty C. Jung Web site. All issues are available via subscription, free of charge. All issues sent out using Yahoo!Egroups electronic mailing service is archived at http://groups.yahoo.com. You must be a subscriber to access the archive.
To access the archive, you have to have a Yahoo! account. If you don't have one, you can create one in one of two ways. When you subscribed to this electronic mailing list, you received a confirmation e-mail, which contains instructions on how to create a Yahoo! account. If you have discarded the e-mail before you had the chance create an account, you can do so by visiting the Yahoo!Groups site.
As the Internet, or, the World Wide Web (WWW) portion of it, becomes more commonplace, it will be relied upon more frequently as a source of information. However, not everything on the Internet is useful. This does not mean that whatever is found useful should be taken without proper attribution. Doing this is actually stealing, and in academic circles, it is considered plagiarism.
Even though materials on the Internet are easily accessible, materials on the Internet are copyrighted. See my Copyright Page for more info on this. And, those sites that display a copyright notice means that they are serious enough about their content to take you to court if you are found taking materials of their sites without permission. Therefore, practice an ethical approach - and give credit where credit is due. Ask Webmasters and site owners for permission to use their material. Most would be happy to give you the permission. I know that this does not happen enough, so make a difference and do the right thing!
The American Psychological Association (APA) manuscript format is the most commonly used format in the social sciences. It is also the preferred format for many public health disciplines. The Fifth Edition of the APA Publications Manual includes a whole section for citing electronic media (pp. 268-281). Check out my APA Info Page for on-line resources for the APA format.
The APA has set parameters as to what it considers to be a source of information for research purposes. The PHE-News is considered an electronic mailing list. As such it can be included in a reference list provided: (1) An archive is maintained and (2) retrievable (p. 277). The PHE-News has both attributes, and therefore can be referenced as a source for research.
As for scholarly content, I have tried to include only those sources I consider credible. What I include are listservs and electronic mailing lists of government agencies, non-profit agencies, academic sources and commercial news sources. I consider those I include to provide credible information, many of which maintain their own archives of the items they send out. If you feel or know a source or sources I use are not credible sources, let me know.
