University Work - Citation

[Danger Phoenix]

I need to cite my own piece of work from my undergraduate degree (currently doing a Masters course) and I was wondering how I would cite this?

I was thinking along the lines of:

Shah, H. (2007). History of Memory Storage Devices. University of Warwick: Computer Science Department.

(cited in APA style)

Looks fine to me, I've never cited a piece of my own work before, but as long as you've referenced the author, year, title, university/publisher - i think you have everything..

It is no different to citing someone else, but I assume you're citing a undergrad dissertation. You'll have to state it as such by adding "unpublished dissertation" before dept and uni.

Citing a piece of your own work... interesting!

Could you not include it in the appendix?

Shah, H. (2007). History of Memory Storage Devices. Unpublished Dissertation. Computer Science Department, University of Warwick.

Better?

This dissertation is 13,000 words... and the essay I am working on at the moment will be 3000 words, lol!

I think you need to say what type of work it is - bach./masters thesis etc.

edit:, ah, yeah, like previous post ^^

Nope the undergraduate dissertation part is all that is needed to explain where it came from.

I didn't know you can cite your own work...it's not "published" is it?

Surely the better way is to cite the source of the original essay instead?

I thought that as well, I was always told that you simply don't cite unpublished work so with lecture notes for instance you either don't reference or you go to the source that the lecturer used and reference that if available.

Well I am referring to the research I did for that dissertation, because it was from a mixture of sources and it would be odd mentioning all those sources when this new essay just happens to mention the UNIVAC I.

I would include the research as an appendix and reference that then. I wouldn't use it as a citation...
