| Citation for wikis can be complicated. Here are a few best practice recommendations and models for citing [[Folgerpedia]].
| | #redirect [[Folgerpedia:Citing Folgerpedia]] |
| | |
| Folgerpedia articles are often presented anonymously or are the work of many people, but a few articles are credited to a single author or a small team of collaborators. Where the author's name is credited in the article text, we strongly encourage users to cite the author by name. "Creation Date" can be discovered by using the "history" function,.

| '''CMS:'''
| |
| | |
| :Firstname Lastname, "Article Title," ''Folgerpedia'', accessed Month day, year, URL.
| |
| | |
| :Erica Zimmer, "History of Early English Books Online," ''Folgerpedia'', accessed July 17, 2015, http://folgerpedia.folger.edu/History_of_Early_English_Books_Online.
| |
| :"Cymbeline," ''Folgerpedia,'' accessed July 17, 2015, http://folgerpedia.folger.edu/Cymbeline.

| | |
| *Note: Folgerpedia employs CMS as its preferred citation practice.
| |
| | |
| '''MLA:'''
| |
| | |
| :Editor, author, or compiler name (if available). "Article title." ''Name of Site''. Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sponsor or publisher), date of resource creation (if available). Medium of publication. Date of access.

| :Zimmer, Erica. "History of Early English Books Online." ''Folgerpedia.'' Folger Shakespeare Library, 27 October, 2014. Web. July 17, 2015.
| |
| * Note: The MLA no longer requires URLs in citations, although some publications and instructors still prefer they be supplied. Since ''Folgerpedia'' titles are the basis for the URL, accurately reporting the title of the article being cited should allow users to find the article without the URL.

| '''APA: '''
| |
| | |
| :Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of resource. Retrieved date from http://www.someaddress.com/full/url/

| :Zimmer, E. (2014, Oct. 27). History of Early English Books Online. Retrieved July 17, 2015 from Folgerpedia: http://folgerpedia.folger.edu/History_of_Early_English_Books_Online

| | |
| *Note: The APA only recommends the use of retrieval dates if the resource could change, and specifically cites wikis as an example.
