1. Publication Date: This helps readers understand the currency of the information. For example, a research paper on climate change might need to reference the latest data and scientific findings.
2. Publisher: Knowing who published the work can provide context about the source's credibility and potential biases. For books, you'll usually list the publishing house. For journal articles, it's the name of the journal itself.
3. Location of Publication: While this is less important than the other details, it can be helpful for tracking down the source. For books, you'll list the city and state (or country) where the publisher is located. For online sources, you might list the URL or the database name.
Remember: The exact format for these details will vary depending on the specific citation style you're using (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago).
