PENULISAN SUMBER KUTIPAN DAN DAFTAR PUSTAKA

Definisi
Secara sederhana, kutipan adalah semua kalimat dan atau paragraf yang bukan berasal dari ide/tulisan
Anda. Biasanya seorang penulis atau pengarang mengambil tulisan orang lain untuk menjadi bagian
dalam tulisannya.

Berdasarkan cara mengutipnya, kutipan dibedakan menjadi 2 jenis (Universitas Kristen Petra, 2008) yaitu:

1. Kutipan tidak langsung  yaitu penulis mengambil ide orang lain, kemudian merangkainya
dengan kalimat sendiri. Hal ini berarti penulis tidak menulis sama persis dengan kalimat asli yang
dikutip. Penulis merangkai dan merangkum kalimat berdasarkan artikel atau sumber lain.

2. Kutipan langsung  yaitu menulis ulang ide orang lain sesuai dengan aslinya. Hal ini berarti
penulis langsung menggunakan teknik copy lalu paste tanpa mengubah kalimat aslinya.Ada dua
jenis kutipan langsung, yaitu kutipan langsung panjang dan kutipan langsung pendek. Kedua
kutipan ini berbeda cara menuliskan dan syaratnya.
a. Kutipan langsung pendek
Syarat:
i. APA Style(American Psychological Association)
Jika panjang kalimat yang dikutip tidak lebih dari 40 kata.
ii. MLA Style (Modern Language Asociation)
Jika panjang kalimat yang dikutip tidak lebih dari 4 baris

Cara menuliskan:
Kutipan langsung pendek dituliskan menjadi satu dalam paragraf karya tulis Anda,
tambahkan tanda petik pada kutipan sehingga tanda petik ini menjadi pemisah antara
kalimat Anda dengan kalimat kutipan. Sumber kutipan ditulis sedekat mungkin dengan
kalimat kutipan.

Dapat digambarkan sebagai berikut:


Kalimat sendiri kalimat sendiri kalimat sendiri “teks kutipan teks kutipan teks
kutipan teks kutipan teks kutipan teks kutipan.teks kutipan teks kutipan teks kutipan
teks kutipanteks kutipan” (sumber kutipan). Kalimat sendiri kalimat sendiri kalimat
sendiri kalimat sendiri.

b. Kutipan langsung panjang


Jenis kutipan ini dikenal juga dengan istilah block quote.
Syarat:
i. APA Style(American Psychological Association)
Jika panjang kalimat yang dikutip lebih dari 40 kata.
ii. MLA Style (Modern Language Asociation)
Jika panjang kalimat yang dikutip lebih dari 4 baris

1
Cara menuliskan:
Sesuai dengan istilah yang mengikutinya, yaitu dengan cara membuat blok kalimat yang
dikutip tanpa tanda petik, ukuran font, dan spasi sesuai dengan karya tulis tetapi ditulis
menjorok/masuk 1 cm (5 spasi) dari batas margin kiri tulisan Anda. Oleh karena kalimat
yang dikutip ini tergolong banyak/panjang maka kalimat kutipan dipisahkan dari kalimat
Anda.

Dapat digambarkan sebagai berikut:

Di setiap karya tulis ilmiah pasti ada bagian yang diambil dari ide, argumen, analisa, dan atau hasil
penelitian orang lain. Bagian inilah yang dinamakan kutipan. Peran penting dari kutipan adalah dipakai
untuk mendukung argumen dan analisa Anda. Kutipan bisa diambil dari berbagai sumber, baik teks
maupun audio visual, baik dari media print sampai online, juga bisa dokumen yang published maupun
unpublished. Semua jenis dokumen dapat digunakan menjadi bagian dalam tulisan ilmiah Anda, untuk
mendukung karya tulis Anda. Yang perlu diingat setiap kali Anda mengambil ide, argumen, tulisan, hasil
penelitian, dan sebagainya dari orang lain adalah Anda harus mencantumkan asal-usul kutipan Anda
dalam sumber kutipan dan secara mendetail dalam daftar pustaka.

Sumber kutipan adalah penulisan asal usul kutipan secara singkat dalam teks karya
tulis yang paling dekat dengan kutipan.

Daftar pustaka adalah suatu daftar yang memuat semua informasi dari sumber
kutipan secara jelas dan terperinci, yang disusun secara alfabetis.

2
Tujuan penulisan sumber kutipan dan daftar pustaka
1. Agar terhindar dari tuduhan penjiplakan (plagiarism)
Salah satu fungsi kutipan adalah untuk menguatkan atau mendukung tulisan ilmiah Anda. Oleh
karena itu, Anda harus mencantumkan sumber kutipan Anda secara singkat di bagian akhir setelah
kalimat kutipan atau tepat sebelum kalimat kutipan (paling dekat dengan kalimat kutipan) dan
menuliskan sumbernya secara lengkap pada daftar pustaka. Dengan melakukan ini sebenarnya
Anda sedang menghindarkan diri dari masalah di kemudian hari terkait dengan mengambil hak
cipta karya tulis seseorang tanpa ijin.

2. Menghargai penulis sebelumnya


Ketika Anda menuliskan secara lengkap sumber kutipan dan daftar pustaka, sebenarnya Anda
sedang menghargai orang yang mempunyai ide tersebut. Selain itu, juga pengakuan bahwa teks
pada bagian tersebut adalah dari ide, argumen, dan atau analisa orang lain.

3. Membantu pembaca yang ingin tahu lebih dalam mengenai sumber kutipan
Salah satu manfaat dari menuliskan sumber kutipan dan daftar pustaka secara lengkap adalah
membantu pembaca yang ingin mengetahui lebih dalam tentang kutipan tersebut. Kadang-kadang
pembaca tertarik untuk membaca lebih dalam tulisan yang Anda kutip. Dengan demikian, pembaca
dapat menelusuri informasi dari sumber kutipan dan kemudian mendapatkan rincian lengkapnya
pada daftar pustaka.

Ada banyak versi atau format untuk menuliskan sumber kutipan dan daftar pustaka. Akan tetapi,
Universitas Kristen Petra mengambil dua macam format untuk menuliskan sumber kutipan dan sumber
kutipannya, yaitu APA (American Psychological Association) Style dan MLA (Modern Language Asociation)
Style. Keduanya digunakan sebagai acuan dalam penulisan kutipan dan daftar pustaka untuk tugas akhir
di Universitas Kristen Petra. Oleh karena itu, panduan ini hanya membahas secara mendalam dua cara
tersebut saja.

Catatan penting:

 Format penulisan sumber kutipan dan daftar pustaka dalam sebuah karya tulis ilmiah adalah
wajib sama.
o Misalkan, menuliskan sumber kutipan dengan format APA Style maka daftar pustaka
wajib dituliskan juga dengan format APA Style. Demikian juga berlaku jika Anda ingin
menggunakan MLA Style, maka cara mengutip langsung (panjang atau pendek), cara
menuliskan sumber kutipan dan daftar pustaka pun menggunakan MLA Style.
 Nama penulis/pengarang yang Anda tuliskan di sumber kutipan, wajib dituliskan dalam daftar
pustaka sebagai kata pertama.
o Jika tidak ada nama penulis/pengarang, maka disebutkan beberapa kata dalam judul. Hal
ini berarti kata-kata judul inilah yang disebutkan sebagai kata pertama dalam daftar
pustaka. Dengan demikian, sumber kutipan dan daftar pustaka sudah berfungsi untuk
memudahkan pembaca yang ingin menggali lebih dalam referensi yang Anda gunakan.
 Penulisan sumber kutipan berada di dekat teks kutipan Anda. Penulisan daftar pustaka berada di
halaman paling belakang dengan baris kedua dan seterusnya menjorok masuk 1 cm dari batas
margin kiri
 Gelar kebangsawanan maupun gelar akademik tidak ditulis dalam sumber kutipan dan daftar
pustaka

3
 Penulisan penanggalan dan istilah penting lainnya (singkatan) dalam Bahasa Inggris, berlaku
untuk semua jenis karya, baik yang berbahasa Indonesia, Inggris, Italia, dan bahasa lainnya.

1. APA STYLE Edisi ke 6 (2010)


Secara umum cara menuliskan:

1. Sumber kutipan: nama belakang/keluarga penulis/pengarang (th eauthor) dan tahun (year) dari
sumber kutipan
Contoh: (Azaria, 2014)
(Santoso, Azaria, & Tan, 2015)
Jika kutipan langsung maka wajib ditambahkan nomor halaman (page dituliskan dengan p. atau
pages dituliskan dengan pp.). Jika nomor halaman tidak ada maka bisa digantikan dengan chapter
atau paragraf ke berapa.
Contoh: (Azaria, 2014, p. 15)
(Santoso, 2015, chap. 5)

2. Daftar pustaka
a) Penulisan nama pengarang pertama dan seterusnya: nama belakang/keluarga diikuti dengan
inisial nama depan dan tengah (jika ada)
Contoh:
Nama Penulisan

Sally Azaria Azaria, S.

Kwik Kian Gie Kwik, K.G.

Sir Philip Sidney Sidney, P.

Joyce Elliot-Spencer Elliot-Spencer, J.

b) (Hanya) huruf pertama dari judul karya atau judul tambahan ditulis menggunakan huruf
kapital.
c) Pada sumber online, tuliskan secara lengkap URL nya dengan cara menuliskan kata “retrieved
from” sebelum URL dan tidak dituliskan tanggal akses (tanggal unduh atau melihat web
tersebut).
d) Untuk Prosiding yang diakses secara online maka gantikan kota terbit dan penerbit dengan
nomor DOI (Digital Object Identifier) atau URL, seperti dalam artikel jurnal online. (lihat
contoh:Buku >> Prosiding)
 Nomor DOI (Digital Object Identifier) adalah penanda yang spesifik dan tetap untuk
dokumen online yang terdaftar.
e) Nama negara dari kota terbit dituliskan setelah kota terbit dan dipisahkan dengan tanda
koma.
f) Tidak ada kata yang digarisbawahi, termasuk URL.

D. MATERI PERKULIAHAN
Bagi mahasiswa, kadang-kadang materi perkuliahan digunakan sebagai acuan referensi dalam
tulisan ilmiah. Padahal, biasanya materi kuliah tersebut tidak diterbitkan secara formal seperti buku
dan jurnal (tidak mempunyai nomor ISBN). Jika materi tersebut berupa artikel jurnal atau bagian
dari buku (booksection) maka tulislah sumber kutipan dan daftar pustaka seperti yang sudah
dijabarkan di atas. Jika tidak, maka berikut ini adalah beberapa kategorinya (George Forbes
Memorial Library, Lincoln University, 2011).

Jika Anda hendak mengutip dari apa yang disampaikan oleh dosen Anda ketika
Dosen memberikan mereka presentasi, kutiplah itu sebagai “personal communication” (tidak
catatan dan berbicara dimasukkan dalam daftar pustaka tetapi ada bukti misalkan hasil rekaman
dalam kelas suara)

(J. Bowring, personal communication, October 3, 2009)

Handouts Handout yang diberikan selama perkuliahan, tutorial, atau kunjungan lapangan,
tuliskan sebagai “unpublished paper presented at a meeting” dalam daftar

2. MLA STYLE Edisi ke 7 (2009)
Secara umum cara menuliskan:

1. Sumber kutipan yang dicantumkan dalam teks tulisan ilmiah Anda, secara umum formatnya adalah
author(s) dan page (page to page). Author(s) merupakan penulis atau pengarang sedangkan page
adalah halaman. Nama penulis yang dicantumkan di dalam teks kutipan hanya nama keluarga atau
nama belakang.
Contoh: (Azaria 20)
(Santoso, Azaria, and Tan 18-21)

2. Daftar Pustaka:
a) Penulisan nama pengarang pertama adalah nama keluarga/belakang, diikuti dengan nama
depan dan nama tengah (jika ada) secara lengkap.
Contoh
Nama Penulisan

Sally Azaria Azaria, Sally

Kwik Kian Gie Kwik, Kian Gie

Sir Philip Sidney Sidney, Philip

Joyce Elliot-Spencer Elliot-Spencer, Joyce

Penulisan nama pengarang kedua dan seterusnya dituliskan secara lengkap sesuai dengan
urutan yang sebenarnya (tidak dibalik atau nama keluarga/nama belakang tidak dituliskan
terlebih dahulu).
b) Tidak (lagi) menggunakan garis bawah (underline). Judul buku dan judul periodical menggunakan
cetak miring (italicized).
c) Menuliskan jenis media (media type) yang digunakan sebagai sumber kutipan, dituliskan setelah
tahun terbit.
a. Print = jika mengutip dari semua yang dicetak
b. Web = jika mengutip secara online
c. Email = jika mengutip dari surat elektronik
d. Lecture = jika mengutip dari bahan perkuliahan yang diterbitkan secara terbatas
d) Semua yang masuk dalam daftar pustaka adalah karya yang sudah diterbitkan atau unggah
(published), baik berupa cetakan maupun online, misalnya cetakan, situs, televisi, DVD, dan
sebagainya
e) URL tidak perlu dituliskan. Dituliskan alamat lengkap website (URL) hanya jika diminta.
f) Wajib menuliskan tanggal akses/tanggal unduh (urutan penulisan: setelah jenis media yang
digunakan)
g) Beberapa istilah singkatan yang diijinkan jika karya yang dikutip tidak mempunyai:
a. Nomor halaman (no pages number) = n.pag.

11
b. Tanggal/tahun terbit (no date) = n.d.
c. Penerbit atau kota terbit = n.p.

Berikut ini adalah cara menuliskan pada beberapa jenis sumber dengan MLA Style (Killam Library,

Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide
The Chicago Manual of Style presents two basic documentation systems: (1) notes and
bibliography and (2) author-date. Choosing between the two often depends on subject matter
and the nature of sources cited, as each system is favored by different groups of scholars.

The notes and bibliography style is preferred by many in the humanities, including those in
literature, history, and the arts. This style presents bibliographic information in notes and,
often, a bibliography. It accommodates a variety of sources, including esoteric ones less
appropriate to the author-date system.

The author-date system has long been used by those in the physical, natural, and social
sciences. In this system, sources are briefly cited in the text, usually in parentheses, by
author’s last name and date of publication. The short citations are amplified in a list of
references, where full bibliographic information is provided.

Aside from the use of notes versus parenthetical references in the text, the two systems share
a similar style. Click on the tabs below to see some common examples of materials cited in
each style, including examples of common electronic sources. For numerous specific
examples, see chapters 14 and 15 of the 16th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style.

In-Text Parenthetical References with APA style


When you refer to or base your ideas on another person's work, you must provide your reader with a reference to that work in your
text. If you quote from or refer to an exact part of another's work, you must provide your reader with the specific page, pages, or other
parts of the work you are referring to. General rules for APA in-text citations are on p. 4 of this guide.

In order to keep parenthetical expressions as brief as clarity and accuracy can permit, APA style recommends that you not repeat in
parentheses anything unamibuously stated previously in your text. If you identify the author, work, or part of a work in nearby text,
you can simply provide in parentheses the date and page number(s) or other necessary information to specify what passage you are
citing. If your text contains the year, do not repeat it.

APA style Rules Governing Reference Lists

• General. List the elements that identify the work's author title, publication date, and its publisher. For online publications,
you add elements stating where and when you retrieved the document.
o Your reference list should be alphabetized by the last name of the author (or first title word, if no author) so that your
reader can find the complete citation belong to each of your in-text parenthetical references.
o APA style suggests the reference list be titled as such and views the term "Bibliography" as a broader designation to be
used if your list of references includes more than works referred to in your paper.
• Punctuation. Periods are generally used to end elements in references. Commas are generally used to separate items within
an element, except for colon between location and publisher of books and for parentheses around (year of publication),
(Eds.), and (page numbers for a chapter in a book). If two or more authors, separate them with commas. Precede the last
author named with , & (not the word "and").
• Capitalization. Capitalize only the first letter (and any proper nouns) of titles and subtitles of articles, books, chapters, and
unpublished periodicals. Capitalize the first letter of all significant words in titles of published periodicals.
• Italics. Italicize titles of books and periodicals (journals, newspapers, magazines, etc.). Italicize the volume number only of
periodicals.
• Authors. All authors' last names are inverted (last name first), and first names are abbreviated to the authors' initials. For one
to six authors, list all. For seven or more, list the first six followed by a comma and et al.
o Corporate authors. Corporate names as authors are written out; capitalize the first letter of significant words. A parent
body precedes a subdivision within an organization.
o Editors. For an edited book without a named author, treat the editors as authors (inverted order), and include (Ed.) or
(Eds.) in parentheses after the last editor's name. Editors' names and other names not in the author position (e.g.,
translators) are not inverted and are followed by an abbreviated designation in parentheses.
o No named author or editor. Move the title to the author position before the date.
• Publication date. The year of publication is enclosed in parentheses and precedes the title, generally after the authors' names.
For works with no author or editor, put the title first and follow it by the year of publication. For magazines, newsletters, and
Page 4 of 4 pages

newspapers, provide the month, month and day, or quarter of the issue if following the year in format (YYYY, Month dd) or
(YYYY, Season). If there is no date available, enter (n.d.).
• Volume, issue, and page numbers. For periodicals with continuous pagination throughout a volume, provide only the
volume number (italicized), a comma, then the inclusive page numbers. If and only if each issue begins with page 1, give the
issue number in parentheses immediately after the volume: 38(2), 12-17. Precede page numbers with p. or pp. only for
chapters in books, newspaper articles, and when unavoidably required for clarity.
• Publishers and place of publication. For publishers, give the city and state or country if the city is not well known for
publishing or is ambiguous. Omit superfluous terms like "Publishers," "Co.," or "Inc." but include "Press" or "Books." Use 2-
letter abbreviations for states if needed. Do not abbreviate "University." If two or more publisher locations are listed, give
the first or the home office location if known.
• Reviews. The review author is listed first. Review title follows publication date in format appropriate to the type of
periodical. In brackets provide a statement identifying the article as a review, the medium being reviewed and its title
[Review of the book/motion picture/television program/etc. Title of reviewed item]. Finish by
providing the rest of the periodical citation. If a review is untitled and/or lacks an author, use the material in brackets as the
title; retain the brackets.
• Electronic publications. For online publications, follow the rules for print insofar as possible.
o Page numbers may be irrelevant.
o After the body of the reference, provide a "Retrieved" statement telling the date retrieved and source. The source may
be the URL or the name of an indexing service or journal database where the article was located. Do not provide the
URL for well known providers of journal articles or books such as a library database.
o Omit the final period if a citation ends with a URL.
o If an online journal is an exact reproduction of the print publication (e.g., JSTOR, NetLibrary, and most PDF
documents), and you did not consult the print version, cite as if print (with page numbers) and include [Electronic
version] as the last element of the article title.

APA style Rules Governing In-text Parenthetical References


• At the appropriate point in your text, insert a brief parenthetical reference consisting usually of the last name(s) of the
author(s), a comma, and the year of publication. Your reader can use your reference list to obtain the full reference.
• Do no include suffixes such as Jr. or qualifiers like Ed. Do not include months or days even if in the reference list.
• For quotations and references to a specific part of a work, follow the year of publication with a comma and provide the page
number(s) or identify the section you refer to. Precede the page numbers with p. or pp. or para. or sect. as
appropriate. For web pages without page numbers, be as specific as possible in order to help your reader find what you are
referring to.
• For un-authored works, use the first few words of whatever is the first element of the reference in your reference list,
followed by the date and other specifics needed.
• If you have more than one work by authors with the same last name, provide initials (before the last name, not inverted order)
for each author in the text and in parenthetical citations.
• For undated works, include n.d. for "no date."
• For works by two authors, provide the last names of both every time the work is cited in the text. For three to five authors,
provide the last names of all authors the first time referred to in the text, and in subsequent references, provide only the last
name of the first author followed by et al. If more than six authors provide only the last name of the first author and
shorted the rest to et al.

Footnotes and Endnotes


 Notes may be placed at the bottom of each page (footnotes) or at the end of the paper (endnotes). In footnotes, the
number of the note is superscripted (has a smaller font and is set slightly higher on the line than normal text). In
endnotes, the number is not superscripted.
 The names of the author(s) appear in the conventional order (i.e. first-name first). The source will tell you whether
the author’s full first name or initials should be used.
 The first line of each note is indented.
 Each note is single spaced, but there is a double space between notes.
 Sources cited in the notes must appear in the bibliography, with the exception of reference works, personal
communications, and individual blog entries.

Bibliographies
 Begin the bibliography on a separate page at the end of the paper (after the endnotes).
 Arrange entries alphabetically by the author’s last name (or by the title if the author is anonymous).
 List the first author of each work with the last name first. List additional authors first-name first.
 When an author appears more than once in a bibliography the ditto sign for his or her name appears
as a line of six hyphens followed by a period: ------. (See sample bibliography below).
 Begin the first line of each entry at the left margin. Additional lines in the entry are indented (this is called a
hanging indent).

Doe 3

Christopher Lasch writes that “Americans took it as axiomatic, a cherished article of political

faith, that freedom had to rest on the broad distribution of property ownership.”7 Many

English liberals, influenced by republican traditions, shared this belief: in England, it was

widely held that the United States and Switzerland were structurally democratic because of

their widespread property ownership.8 But the idealization of the independent property-owner

went deeper than a concern for material independence. It was also rooted in an appraisal of

character. According to Eugenio F. Biagini, John Stuart Mill “was committed to peasant

proprietorship on moral and political grounds.”9 Mill

praised the homestead farmer as the model citizen.... While the factory
proletarian was trained to work as part of a machine, the farmer was
employed from childhood in an activity fostering independent thinking and
creativity, and was free from the anguish and crushing misery that affected
the factory worker.10

The history of general opposition to the division or specialization of labour, based on its

detrimental effect on individual character formation, pre-dates the industrial revolution among

republicans. Republicans despised professional armies and politicians, which, they argued,

contributed to masculine passivity and dependence.11

Parenthetical References

The Chicago Author-Date style requires the use of parenthetical references in the text of the
essay as well as a list of citations on a “References” page at the end of a text. Parenthetical
references should be placed at the end of the sentence, before the period, when a resource has
been used. If the sentence is either long enough or complex enough so that the cited portion of
the sentence is not obvious, the parenthetical reference may instead be inserted immediately
after the use of information from the source. Page numbers should be included whenever
possible.

General Form: (Author Last Name Year of Publication, Page #)

Example: (Smith 1992, 142)

The following examples illustrate parenthetical reference formats for works with more than one
author.

(Smith and Johnson 1998, 14)

(Smith, Johnson, and White 2001, 42)

(Smith et al. 1998, 203)

(National Alliance for Social Consideration 1932, 11)

When organizations or corporate authors are the author of a text, the name of the organization
may be shortened to its most basic title. Abbreviations for the organization are not encouraged.

In the Chicago style, daily newspapers are rarely included in a list of References. Instead,
attribution may be given to information from a daily newspaper in a parenthetical reference.

General Form: (Newspaper Name, Day Month Year of Publication, Section and Page #)

Examples: (San Antonio Express-News, 2 June 2005, B2)

(New York Times, 2 June 2005, A2)

(Durant Daily Democrat, 2 June 2005, 3)

The Chicago style guide does not offer examples for creating parenthetical references when there
is no given author. Standard practice has been to include the title of the work in place of the
author. The title should be formatted in the same manner as the formatting in the References list
entry.

(Plagiarism and You 2002, 142)

("Five Ways to Protect Yourself" 2000, 33)

Electronic sources commonly lack a date of publication, as do other sources. When there is no
date of publication listed for a source, include the abbreviation "n.d." in place of the date.

(Statistics for Water Rights n.d.)

For further information on citing sources using the Chicago style, see pages 796-810 in The
Chicago Manual of Style, 16th ed.

In-Text Parenthetical Citations - MLA Style

Wherever you incorporate another's words, facts, or ideas in your paper, you must indicate to your readers not only the works you
used but also exactly where in the work you found the material. MLA style requires you do this using brief parenthetical references
mentioning the author and page number(s) referred to. It is therefore wise to prepare the works-cited list first, so that your in-text
references will match whatever is the initial element in the alphabetized list. General rules governing MLA in-text citations begin on
page 7 of this guide.

For readability, keep references brief. Do not repeat what is incorporated into nearby text. If your text gives the author's name (or
title for works listed by title), provide only page numbers or section identifiers in parentheses.

MLA Style Rules Governing Reference Lists

• General. List the elements that identify the work's author, title, and publication information. For online publications, you add
elements stating where and when you retrieved the document and giving your reader the means to retrieve it again if it is still
available.
o Punctuation. Periods are generally used between elements in references. Commas are generally used to separate items within
an element, except for colon between location and publisher of books.
o Capitalization. In English-language titles and sub-titles, capitalize the first letter of the first word, the last word, and all
principal words (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and subordinating conjunctions). Do not capitalize articles,
prepositions, coordinating conjunctions or the to in infinitives. For titles in other languages see the MLA Handbook, 3.8.
o Italics vs. underlining. MLA style recommends always underlining instead of using italics. This applies to titles of books
and periodicals and to other elements in your paper where italics might seem appropriate. This is because italics may not be
sufficiently distinctive and recognizable for material that is to be graded or edited. If you wish to use italics, ask your
instructor.
o Heading. The works-cited list is sometimes referred to as a "bibliography," but MLA style recommends using a more
descriptive heading such as "Works Cited," "Works Consulted," or "Annotated Works Cited."
• Authors. Provide the names of authors exactly as given on the work (do not abbreviate, and supply additional information in
brackets only if it will help your reader). Invert the name only of the first author given for alphabetizing. For two or three
authors, provide all names, separated by commas with and before the last (not &). For more than three authors, give only the first
author, followed by a comma and et al. Or you may list all authors named in the work.
o Corporate authors. Corporate authors are groups whose individual members are not identified on the title page. Insert the
corporate author as author (before the title) even is identical to the publisher. Corporate names as authors are written out.
Omit initial articles in corporate authors' names (a, an, the).
o Editors. For an edited book without a named author, treat the editors as authors (name precedes the title, first named in
inverted order).
o Translators. Following the individual work or volume translated, after a period, state Trans. translator (not inverted).
o Anonymous works. If no author or editor is named, begin the entry with the title. Do not use Anon. or Anonymous.
o Reviewers and review citations. Give the reviewer's name (if provided) as author, then the title of the review title (if there
is one) in quotes, followed by a period, as an article title. Then write: Rev. of (neither underlined nor in quotes) followed
by the title of the work reviewed, a comma, the word by and the names of the author(s) of the work. If the author is an
editor or translator, substitute ed. or trans. for by.
o Interviews. As author, use the person interviewed (name inverted). After the title of the interview (in quotes) and the title of
the work in which published (underlined), each followed by a period. Provide the interviewer's name after: By . See MLA
Handbook 5.8.7 and 5.9.9e.
• Titles. Titles follow authors (or editors if no named author). Titles of articles and chapters or other parts of larger works are in
double quotation marks. Titles of books, periodicals, and other whole works are underlined. Separate titles with periods (inside
final quotations and not underlined). Provide the full title of books and other works, including leading articles (a, an, the), except
in titles of periodicals such as journals or newspapers (e.g., New York Times). Use a colon and space to separate a title from a
sub-title unless the title ends with ?, !, or −.
• Publication information:
o Publishers' names. Omit the articles (a, an, the), business abbreviations (e.g., Co., Inc.), and descriptive words (Books,
House, Press, Publishers). Shorten "university" to U and "university press" to UP. Omit first names and initials in
publishers (e.g., Norton, not W.W.Norton; Wiley not John Wiley). Use standard abbreviations as in MLA Handbook 7.4.
Use commonly accepted abbreviations, like GPO, UMI.
o Place of publication. If several cities are list, provide only the first. For cities outside the United States, provide the
abbreviation for the country if it might be ambiguous for your reader (Cambridge, Eng. to distinguish from Cambridge).
o Publication date not provided. If there is no date available, enter (n.d.).
• Periodical elements:
o Volume, issue, and page numbers. For journals with continuous pagination throughout a volume, follow the journal title
(underlined) by the volume number, the year of publication (in parentheses), a colon, and the inclusive page numbers. If each
issue begins with page 1, add a period and the issue number directly after the volume number: 14.2 If there are no issue
Page 7

numbers and each issue begins with page 1, designate the issue by including the month or season in parentheses before the
year of publication: (May 1992). For annual publications where the year is the volume number, state Annual in place of
the volume number.
o Issue dates and page numbers in newspaper and magazine articles. Follow the title of the publication by the date of the
issue in DD Month YYYY order, without parentheses. For newspapers, provide the edition, preceded by a comma, and then
the section if relevant. Follow this publication information by a colon and a space. Provide the inclusive page numbers if the
article appears on consecutive pages. If the article begins on one page and then skips to another page, provide only the initial
page followed by +: 17+ or C6+. Do not include volume or issue numbers even if provided.
• Electronic publications. For online publications, follow the rules for print insofar as possible. For electronic sources not
accessed through the Web, see the MLA Handbook, 5.9.5-9. For web-based publications, provide as applicable, in this sequence:
1. If a print version is referred to, provide a complete citation as you would for the print version.
2. Provide information about the electronic source used, such as the title of the site (underlined), the date of electronic
publication of latest update, the name of any sponsoring organization for the site, an editor's name, a version number, and
similar information. If no print equivalent exists, provide only the information about the electronic resource.
3. Provide the date you accessed the document in day Month year format, followed by a period.
4. Give the URL immediately following the date of access. Enclose URLs in angle brackets < > and place a period after
the end bracket. If a URL must be broken, break it only after a slash /, and never introduce hyphens. Include the initial
http:// or other protocol identifier.
5. The purpose for giving the URL is to allow your reader to retrieve the document again. One of the following may
therefore be preferable to providing a long, complicated URL:
• If the URL is very long, complicated, or unique to a specific access, provide the URL of the search page from which
your reader could retrieve the document (as in JSTOR articles).
• If the best way to tell your reader how to find the document is to tell how to navigate from a URL, enter the word
Path: and follow it by the sequence of links to click on from a stable, reasonable URL. Separate the links with
semi-colon.

MLA Style Rules Governing In-text Parenthetical References

In parentheses, provide the last name of the author (do no include suffixes such as Jr.) followed by the year of publication. Do not
include months or days even if in the reference list. Do not include ed., trans., or comp.
All references in the text must clearly point to specific sources in the list of works cited.
Provide the page number(s) or parts after the author and date for quotations and references to a specific part of the work. Page
numbers are unnecessary when referring to a whole work.
For web pages without page numbers, be as specific as possible in order to help your reader find what you are referring to.
For un-authored works, use the first few words of whatever is the first element of the reference in your reference list, followed by
the date and other specifics needed.
If you have more than one work by authors with the same last name, provide initials (before the last name, not inverted order) for
each author in the text and in parenthetical citations.
If you have more than one work by the same author, provide a word of title in addition to the last name.
MLA style does not recommend the use of footnotes or endnotes in research papers except to add a content note not appropriate
as part of the text of the paper.
