Citing Email

Recommended Posts

How do you store and cite the data contained in emails?

 

Over time, I suppose, in many circumstances, other sources would be found that are better evidence...

 

Do you save emails as text files, and point to those files, making each one a standalone source?

 

Or do you copy the relevant text to internal text?

Thats what I do, but I cite the emailer as the source and add the individual email as text file exhibits. So there is one source with multiple exhibits. I do sometimes add pertinant information from the email to the tag memo.

 

This way I dont have lots of sources but each email is easy to find.

If you open windows exploer, then you can then drag the e-mail from your e-mail box into explorer. It is then saved as a file in explorer, which you can moved about. You could then even attach the e-mail as an exhibit. You can also save the e-mails onto a CD if required.
