Guidelines for CNS Infographic Usage
Guideline for Authors:
- Authors will be asked whether or not they agree with the sharing of their infographics if they are chosen as one of the finalists.
- If authors agree, we ask that some verbiage is added to the chosen infographic to be posted on the website. For example: “This infographic was chosen as 1st place finalist in the CNS 2024 Infographic Competition.” The CNS logo must also be included on the infographic.
Citing CNS infographics in research
CNS Infographics may be cited in your research providing that you include the following information:
- Author(s)
- Infographic title
- Infographic publisher (e.g. Canadian Nutrition Society)
- Date retrieved
- Creation date (although it is also acceptable to use the “posted” date)
- Original URL
For example, the formula for citing an infographic for APA is as follows:
Author Last Name, Author First Initial. (Published date). Title of the infographic. Infographic Publisher. Retrieved (date of retrieval), from URL.
Hutchinson A and Panahi S. 2020. Covid-19 and Nutrition: stay strong by eating healthy. Canadian Nutrition Society. Retrieved May 2020, from https://cns-scn.ca/sites/default/uploads/files/CNS_2020_COVID-19_and_Nutrition_English.pdf
