Edelstein, Dan, et al. “To Quote or Not

to Quote: Citation Strategies in the Encyclopédie.” Journal of the History of Ideas, vol. 74, no. 2, 2013, pp. 213–36. doi:10.1353/jhi.2013.0012.

 

This study contains the application of Digital Humanities to the Encyclopédie through the University of Chicago’s ARTFL PhiloLine systems to find relations (both cited and not) between other texts and the Encyclopédie. The authors claim that the Encyclopedists often chose not to cite their sources, which allowed them to include quotations from banned or burned books as well as books published anonymously or under a tacit permission. However, the authors also mention other strategies utilized by the Encyclopedists such as just naming the title or author of a work and attempt to determine if the strategies can be considered actual plagiarism.
