Writing Analytically, 6th Edition - Rosenwasser, David & Stephen, Jill [199]
The CSE style in according to this system divides individual entries into the following parts: author (using initials only for first and middle names), title, and publication data. Each part is separated by a period from the others. Note that only the first letter of the title and subtitle of books is capitalized (although proper nouns would be capitalized as necessary).
Journal citations differ from those for books in a number of small ways. The title of a journal article is neither italicized (nor underlined) nor enclosed in quotation marks, and only the first word in the title and subtitle is capitalized. CSE style requires that journal titles be abbreviated in the standard manner used by science researchers, found at ISI Journal Title Abbreviations http://www.efm.leeds.ac.uk/˜mark/ISIabbr/. This is followed by a volume number and an issue number if available. Page numbers for the entire article are included, with no “p.” or “pp.” and are separated by a colon from the preceding volume or issue number.
4. MLA STYLE
In-text citation: The influence of Seamus Heaney on younger poets in Northern Ireland has been widely acknowledged, but Patrick Kavanagh’s “plain-speaking, pastoral” influence on him is “less recognized” (Smith 74).
“(Smith 74)” indicates the author’s last name and the page number on which the cited passage appears. If the author’s name had been mentioned in the sentence—had the sentence begun “According to Smith”—you would include only the page number in the citation. Note that there is no abbreviation for “page,” that there is no intervening punctuation between name and page, and that the parentheses precede the period or other punctuation. If the sentence ends with a direct quotation, the parentheses come after the quotation marks but still before the closing period. Also note that no punctuation occurs between the last word of the quotation (“recognized”) and the closing quotation mark.

End-of-text citation of a journal article retrieved from a website: Nater, Miguel. “El beso de la Esfinge: La poética de lo sublime en La amada inmóvil de Amado Nervo y en los Nocturnos de José Asunción Silva.” Romanitas 1.1 (2006): n. pag. Web. 25 June 2010.
End-of-text library (subscription) database journal article citation: Arias, Judith H. “The Devil at Heaven’s Door.” Hispanic Review 61.1 (Winter 1993): n. pag. Academic Search Premier. Web. 25 June 2010.
Note that the above citations all indicate a format type (print or web) and the web citations end with the date the researcher accessed the website or database.
MLA style stipulates an alphabetical list of references (by author’s last name, which keys the reference to the in-text citation). This list is located at the end of the paper on a separate page and entitled “Works Cited.”
Each entry in the Works Cited list is divided into three parts: author, title, and publication data. Each of these parts is separated by a period from the others. Titles of book-length works are italicized, unless your instructor prefers underlining. (Underlining is a means of indicating italics.) Journal citations differ slightly: article names go inside quotations, no punctuation follows the titles of journals, and a colon precedes the page numbers when pagination is known.
D. Integrating Quotations into Your Paper
Writers lose authority and readability when they fail to correctly integrate quotations into their own writing. The following guidelines should
