Ometeca follows the style guidelines of the MLA Style Manual. Lots of guidance is available on the web as well, searching for “MLA citation.” The following examples are based on the 6th edition (2003).
Sample citations in text: Do not use footnotes or endnotes for citing works. Use the parenthetical method described in the MLA Style Manual. For example, “Hert and Marchionini found that,” or “... as found in other studies (Hert & Marchionini; Clarke & Willett).” If you mention more than one work by the same author, add the year of each work, e.g. (Menendez 1950, 1955). Whether paraphrasing or quoting directly, the source must be credited. For a direct quote supply page numbers, e.g. (Anderson 445). Also provide page numbers when citing only a part of a work.
