Whoa. The MLA has officially devised a standard format to cite tweets in an academic paper. Sign of the times.
Hm.
ebooks, Horse. (horse_ebooks). “Leg Butt” 18 Nov 2011, 12:38 PM. Tweet.
Ok but this doesn’t help me. I’m a history major. Where the Chicago style citation at?
Can a nigga get an APA citation?
Chicago:
The Chicago Manual of Style Online suggests citing a tweet in a footnote as follows, including the author’s real name, date, time, and twitter url.
1. Thomas Kaplan, Twitter post, February 2012, 6:01 p.m., http://twitter.com/thomaskaplan.
Following this format you could cite the tweet in a bibliography as:
Kaplan, Thomas. Twitter post. February 29, 2012, 6:01 p.m. https://twitter.com/thomaskaplan
Or you could follow the guidelines for citing a webpage and cite a tweet as follows:
Kaplan, Thomas. “Twitter / @thomaskaplan: The interest in Kolb’s plan…” February 29, 2012, 6:01 p.m. https://twitter.com/#!/thomaskaplan/status/174992843922874368
APA:
To cite a Twitter or Facebook feed as a whole or to discuss it in general, it is sufficient to give the site URL in text, inside parentheses. There is no need for a reference list entry.
The suggested reference list entries below generally follow the format for citation of online sources (see pp. 214–215):
For in-text citations, parenthetical citation may be easiest:
President Obama announced the launch of the American Graduation Initiative (BarackObama, 2009a). He also stated that he was “humbled” to have
received the Nobel Peace Prize (Barack Obama, 2009b).
