Citing this website
All content on this site is suitable for citing in academic work. Friends of the ISE can access a formatted citation of each page from the Toolbox.
The MLA format for citing web pages is as follows:
- Author if available (the name will be indicated on the home page of the section, and is often cited on each page)
- Title of the page or work (longer works such as plays should be italicized; shorter works such as poems or single pages should be in quotation marks)
- Editor, if there is one
- Name of the website (italicized; in this case, Queen's Men Editions)
- Publisher or sponsor of the site (University of Victoria)
- Date of publication (day, month, and year, as available; if nothing is available use n.d.)
- Medium of publication (Web)
- Date you accessed the material (this is important since content is constantly being updated; should be day, month, year)
- The url (webpage address) is optional in the MLA guidelines but we ask you to include it when citing the ISE; be sure to give the complete address including http
