How Do You Cite a Tweet in an Academic Paper?
The Modern Language Association likes to keep up with the times. As we all know, some information breaks first or only on Twitter and a good academic needs to be able to cite those sources. So, the MLA has devised a standard format that you should keep in mind.
Now Twitter has truly made it.
We are also deeply enjoying this tumblr that collects accidental Google Books art.
Annotations of the philosopher and theologian Francis Ellingwood Abbott, including drawn manicule and note on the absence of the frontispiece: “WITH A PORTRAIT OF KANT (cut out and set on the wall of my Nonquitt tower.) ha ha! That’s a good w’ one.”
Throughout Kant’s Prolegomena and Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science by Immanuel Kant, trans. E. B. Bax (1883).
Love it!
