Importance of cross references in citation:


● Cross reference may be regarded as information located elsewhere within the same
document. So if in Chapter 3 of a book, the reader is mentioned in Appendix A for more
detailed information on a selected topic, that’s a cross reference. Also, if you employ
MLA format, a cross-reference may be a thanks to reference multiple articles in an edited
work. In MLA, you'll include the complete citation for the edited book itself within the
reference list, then for every article, just list the author, article title, last name(s) of the
editor(s), and therefore the page numbers for the article.
● Cross-referencing may be a powerful tool which will greatly enhance the usefulness of
your work, allowing readers to link quickly and simply from one part of your work to
related material elsewhere, making your work significantly more functional and useful.
The key to effective cross-referencing is to point to a selected target which will be of use
to the reader.
