BME: Body Modification Ezine

Using BME for research

Experiences
 If you'd like to use the experiences on BME as a resource for a research project, you must realize one important thing: Experiences are reader submitted, and have not been edited for accuracy. They are there to document what people went through, and the experiences contain many instances of false information.

Experiences should be cited roughly as follows:

"Mrs. Penguin" Woman gets sewer pipe rammed through ear (BME: Body Modification Ezine)
<http://www.bmezine.com/pierce/01-ear/A20308/earwoman.html>, 8 Mar. 2002 (Accessed 17 Mar. 2002).

Glossary
 The glossary is an excellent resource for starting your research, and is one of the more accurate sources of information. Make sure when you're citing a glossary entry that you scroll down and see who wrote and/or edited the entry.

Glossary entries should be cited roughly as follows:

Larrat, Shannon, and Cobb, John Ampallang Glossary Entry (BME: Body Modification Ezine)
<http://www.bmezine.com/glossary/>, 2000 (Accessed 17 Mar. 2002).

   

QOD
 QOD contains probably the most voluminous archive of questions and answers on body modification anywhere on the planet. When you're citing it, make sure you grab the date, as well as the author correctly.

QOD entries should be cited roughly as follows:

"Monte" Septum Stretching QOD entry (BME: Body Modification Ezine)
<http://www.bmezine.com/qod/>, 13:38 14 Mar. 2002 (Accessed 17 Mar. 2002).

BME/Risks, etc.
 BME/Risks, as well as other "official" BME resources written exclusively by Shannon Larratt can be cited as in the following example for the "Implants" entry in BME/Risks.

BME produced FAQs
 Many of the FAQs may contain specific information on how they should be cited, but in general, it's something along the lines of:

Using BME photos

That is, if you'd like to use BME images for a school project, go ahead, but if you want to put them on your webpage or anything else, you can't.
