How do you cite 2 or more works by the same author?

Here's how to cite two or more works by the same author, broken down by the most common citation styles:

General Principles:

* Shortened Citations: After the first full citation, you can use shortened forms for subsequent citations by the same author.

* Alphabetical Order: If citing multiple works by the same author within the same parenthetical citation, list them alphabetically by title.

MLA Style:

* First Citation:

* (Author's Last Name, *Title of Work*).

* Subsequent Citations (Within the same paragraph):

* (Author's Last Name, *Shortened Title*)

* Subsequent Citations (Different paragraphs):

* (Author's Last Name, *Shortened Title*)

Example:

* First citation: (Smith, *The History of the American Revolution*).

* Second citation (same paragraph): (Smith, *The Founding Fathers*)

* Second citation (different paragraph): (Smith, *The Founding Fathers*)

APA Style:

* First Citation:

* (Author's Last Name, Year of Publication).

* Subsequent Citations (Same Year):

* (Author's Last Name, Year of Publication, a)

* (Author's Last Name, Year of Publication, b)

* Subsequent Citations (Different Years):

* (Author's Last Name, Year of Publication)

Example:

* First citation: (Smith, 2020).

* Second citation (same year): (Smith, 2020, a)

* Second citation (different year): (Smith, 2021)

Chicago Style (Notes and Bibliography):

* First Citation:

* Full citation in footnote or endnote.

* Subsequent Citations:

* Author's Last Name, *Shortened Title* (Full title in bibliography).

Example:

* First footnote: 1. John Smith, *The History of the American Revolution* (New York: Penguin Books, 2005), 15.

* Second footnote: 1. John Smith, *The Founding Fathers* (New York: Penguin Books, 2010), 23.

Chicago Style (Author-Date):

* First Citation:

* (Author's Last Name, Year of Publication).

* Subsequent Citations:

Example:
