BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATIONS AND FOOTNOTES FOR SIRS

Under Modern Language Association guidelines (MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 5^th ed.), the bibliography is called “Works Cited,” and the above article would be cited as follows:

Instead of footnotes, the author’s surname and article number are placed in parentheses within the body of the text.  To document the article cited above: (Hayden, Art. 66).  If there are two or more works by the same author in the works cited list, add a shortened version of the title: (Hayden, “The Age,” Art. 66).
