IS 2381 : 2014/ISO 690 : 2010 : Information and Documentation - Guidelines for Bibliographic References and Citations to Information Resources ( Third Revision )

Reaffirmed 2020

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 690 : 2010 —Information and documentation — Guidelines for bibliographic references and citations to information resources’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Documentation and Information Sectional Committee and approval of the Management and Systems Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1963 and later revised in 1978 as IS 2381 : 1978 —Recommendations for bibliographical references: Esential and supplementary elements’ in the preparation of which considerable assistance was drawn from ISO 690 : 1975 —Documentation — Bibliographical references — Essential and suplementary elements’. In the second revision, this standard was prepared in two parts, Part 1 was prepared by adopting ISO 690 : 1987 —Documentation — Bibliographic references — Content, form and structure’ and Part 2 dealt with giving reference to documents from electronic resources and adopted as IS 2381 (Part 2) : 2009 —Information and documentation — Bibliographic references : Part 2 Electronic documents or parts thereof (second revision)’ which was identical to ISO 690-2 : 1997.

In view of revision of ISO 690 in 2010, it was decided to again revise this standard as IS 2381 to be in line with the provisions of ISO 690 : 2010. Further, ISO 690-2 : 1997 —Information and documentation — Bibliographic reference — Part 2: Electronic documents or parts thereof’ has been amalgamated with ISO 690 and ISO 690-2 has been withdrawn. Accordingly, the corresponding IS 2381 (Part 2) : 2009 has also been withdrawn.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words —International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as —Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
