Preguntas frecuentes
What if I'm citing a conference paper that was published in the conference proceedings? ▼
If it's published in proceedings, cite as a book chapter with the conference as the publisher.
Do I need to include the conference organizer or institute? ▼
Only if it's part of the official conference name. Otherwise, location is sufficient.
How specific should the location be? ▼
Include at least the city and country/state. Hotel or venue name is not necessary in MLA format.
