Works Cited: Periodicals
MLA style is
slightly different for popular periodicals, like newspapers, and
scholarly journals, as you'll learn below.
An Article in a Newspaper or Magazine
Basic format:
Author(s). "Title of Article."
Title of Periodical Day
Month Year: pages.
When writing the date, list day before month; use a three-letter
abbreviation of the month (e.g., Jan., Mar., Aug.). If there is more
than one edition available for that date (as in an early and late
edition of a newspaper), identify the edition following the date
(e.g., 17 May 1987, late ed.).
Poniewozik, James. "TV Makes a
Too-Close Call." Time 20
Nov. 2000: 70-71.
Trembacki, Paul. "Brees Hopes to Win Heisman for Team."
Purdue Exponent 5 Dec. 2000:
20.
An Article in a Scholarly Journal
Author(s). "Title of Article."
Title of Journal
Volume.Issue (Year): pages.
Actual
example:
Bagchi, Alaknanda. "Conflicting
Nationalisms: The voice of
the Subaltern in Mahasweta Devi's
Bashai Tudu."
Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature
15.1 (1996):
41-50.
If the journal uses continuous pagination throughout a particular
volume, only volume and year are needed, e.g. Modern Fiction
Studies 40 (1998): 251-81. If each issue of the journal begins
on page 1, however, you must also provide the issue number following
the volume, e.g. Mosaic 19.3 (1986): 33-49.
Journal with Continuous Pagination
Allen, Emily. "Staging Identity:
Frances Burney's
Allegory of Genre." Eighteenth-Century Studies
31
(1998): 433-51.
Journal with Non-Continuous Pagination
Duvall, John N. "The (Super)Marketplace
of Images:
Television as Unmediated Mediation in DeLillo's
White Noise." Arizona Quarterly 50.3 (1994):
127-53.
