How to Cite Articles in Project MUSE

Project MUSE supports downloading citations from the article level in the following formats: MLA, APA, Chicago, and HTML. We also support exporting to the RefWorks and EndNote citation management tools. We recommend you always review your references for accuracy and make any necessary corrections before using. Pay special attention to personal names, capitalization, and dates. Consult your instructor or librarian for further information on preferred citation formats for your class or institution.

If you are creating your own citations, the two formats shown here are common ones for citing articles in the "works cited" or reference list. For more detailed information, consult the official style guides cited below.
