Cite That Tweet!!

Trying to use social media sources, like Facebook & Twitter, for research papers has been pretty difficult due to a lack of standards for documentation. Recently both APA and MLA have taken care of that problem by providing basic rules for citing major types of social media.

And Aditi Rao, who blogs at TeachBytes  has made it even easier by compiled that information into this handy table.

 

 Please note that for Twitter, you must include the entire Tweet for both APA & MLA. More information on documenting your research is available at the Ritz Library's Citation Style Guide.
