Abstract: This is an empirical study mapping out different citation practices to games in the field\nof game studies. From an analysis of 7 journals, 3 conferences and 22 canonical books\nwithin game studies, 5 different strategies for game referencing have been identified.\nGames scholars can either totally refrain from referring to the games they discuss, only\nreference some specific games, cite them as something special and deviant from other\nsources, refer to them in accordance with other sources or refer to games with regard to\ntheir unique properties as a reference. For the reference librarian working with issues\nrelating to game studies the diverse reference practices among game scholars pose a\nspecific challenge. A challenge that partly can be overcome by knowing how game\nscholars frame games and how these frameworks are in conflict with the ways librarians\nframe and classify sources due their physical properties.
