Citation practice is an important element of acknowledging the scholarly contributions of others. When we cite the work of others, we foster scholarly dialogue through the written word. For this reason, thoughtful citation practice can play a generative role in creating equitable and durable scholarly communities. This webinar will provide a forum for participants to hear from the expertise of three panelists and to ask questions and discuss best practices regarding how to cite the work of others in order to create better scholarly communities.
Moderated by ACAH President Michelle C. Wang, the event will be 90 minutes in length. In the first half of the program, the panelists will engage in a roundtable discussion regarding approaches to citation practice, why citation practice matters, and the impact of digital tools. This will be followed by Q & A with the audience in the second half of the program. We warmly invite the participation of scholars at all career stages in the arts, humanities, and social sciences to discuss this important aspect of scholarly engagement and community building.
Please register for the Zoom link, which will be emailed to all registered participants before the event (please note, the event will not be recorded).

The China Project Workshop, founded in 2011, is open to anyone interested in premodern Chinese art or archaeology. It takes place monthly at the Institute of Fine Arts, 1 East 78 Street. The Workshop meets eight times each year, from September to December and February to May, attracting on average an audience of around 40 people. Presentations are usually in English but are occasionally in Chinese.
The Visual and Material Perspectives on East Asia Workshop (VMPEA) is oriented toward the study of visual and material objects, built environments, and the relationship between text and image from East Asia. It explores a plethora of visual and textual materials across a variety of historical periods and geographic locations in order to understand socio-political, cultural, and historical aspects of China, Japan, and Korea. While being based in art history, the Workshop is committed to interdisciplinary inquiries and perspectives, including but not limited to archaeology, anthropology, architecture, literature, religious studies, cinema and media studies, and museum studies.
