Cite ODNB
¶ Rationale
Citations from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB) appear occasionally in character lists, annotations, and critical paratexts. Every
ODNB article has a named author. We give credit to the author of the article rather than
make a generic reference to the ODNB.
¶ Practice
Make an entry in your edition bibliography for each ODNB article that you cite. See
ODNB Article.Once LEMDO has added all of these entries to the sitewide bibliography (BIBL1) and given you the xml:ids of the entries, you will be able to encode your own citations fully.
In your parenthetical citation, give the author’s surname. You do not need to add
a short title for the digital environment because users will get the full citation
when they click on the author’s surname; if your edition is going to be printed and
if there are two or more entries on your bibliography by the same author, you will
need to give a short title. There are no page numbers to give.1
Encode the citation as you would any other citation of an article. See
Practice: Cite Secondary Sources.

<note type="annotation" target="doc:emdTTR3_M#emdTTR3_M_anc_65" targetEnd="doc:emdTTR3_M#emdTTR3_M_anc_66">
<note type="label">But tell … Truth</note>
<note type="gloss">A pertinent question, given the lack of clarity over Henry’s death. The actual circumstances are murky, but he died in the Tower following the battle of Tewkesbury, likely murdered (<ref type="bibl" target="bibl:GRIF6">Griffiths</ref>).</note>

1.If the ODNB adds paragraph numbers in the future, we will add documentation about how to cite
by paragraph number.↑
