How to Cite Two Editors With No Author

When you write a paper, you need to cite from multiple sources. Normally, it's fairly simple to cite these sources: list the author, title, publisher and date the work was written. Occasionally, you find a paper, article or book that has only editors listed, but no writers. Typically these are anthologies or collections of works, and the Modern Language Association, MLA, style offers you a way to cite these works.

Instructions

      Type the name of the first editor. Use the format (last name), (first name), so if the editor's name is John Smith, you type "Smith, John".

    • 2

      Write "and" and then the name of the second editor. For this editor, use the format (first name) (last name), so this name appears as "Helen Smith".

      Type a comma, then write "eds." This is an abbreviation for editors.
