How to cite Seychelles Abroad
For students, researchers, journalists and editors. Everything here is built to be citable, and this page shows you how.
Every reference page on this site carries a "Cite this page" block with ready citations in APA, MLA and Chicago plus BibTeX and RIS downloads. Reference URLs on this site are stable and will not change. Cite the page, its last-reviewed date, and the URL. Our sources are listed on every page with archived copies, so you can also cite our primary sources directly.
The short version
Scroll to the bottom of any reference page and open Cite this page. Copy the format your style guide wants, or download the BibTeX or RIS file for your reference manager. The citation carries the page's publication and last-reviewed dates, which is what a moving reference needs.
Cite the primary source when you can
We are a reference desk, not the origin of most facts. Every page lists its sources with live and archived links. If you are writing something rigorous, follow our bibliography down to the primary source, State House, the NBS, UN DESA, SeyLII, and cite that, with or without "via Seychelles Abroad". Where the fact is our own work, our registry counts, our compiled tables, our forthcoming datasets, cite us as the source directly.
URL stability
Reference URLs on this site are permanent. If a page ever moves, the old address will redirect forever. You can cite a URL from this site in print without fearing a dead link, and every source we cite is archived with the Wayback Machine as insurance for the layer beneath us.
