常见错误
错误:
Camus, Albert (2018). The Stranger. Vintage Classics Publishers.
正确:
Camus, Albert. The Stranger. 2nd ed., Vintage Classics, 2018.
原因: MLA doesn't use parentheses for years in the reference list. Omit 'Publishers' from publisher name. Always include edition if not first.
错误:
The Stranger. Albert Camus. 2018. Vintage Classics.
正确:
Camus, Albert. The Stranger. 2nd ed., Vintage Classics, 2018.
原因: Author must come first (Last, First.). Title is italicized, not the author. Year comes at the end.
错误:
Camus, Albert. "The Stranger." Vintage Classics, 2018.
正确:
Camus, Albert. The Stranger. 2nd ed., Vintage Classics, 2018.
原因: Book titles are italicized, not in quotation marks. Must include edition information if applicable.
