Launch Date Article For Free

By not having a date, you're article is quite possibly out of context, even if it's still relevant. By putting the date, you are telegraphing respect for your user. For any visitor that's ever wanted to know the date on a post and couldn't find it, they'll appreciate you for your simple courtesy.

In-text citations should include both the republished and original publication dates (e.g., 1968/2012). The original publication date is included in parentheses outside the final punctuation of the reference list entry and is not followed by a full stop.

Include the date as it is shown on the source?for instance, use the season/year for a journal article or just the year for a book. Online versions of articles sometimes display two dates: 1) the date the article was posted online and 2) the date that the printed version was published.

Some sources may have multiple publication dates. If that is the case, list the publication date that is most relevant to your use of the source. For example, if you are using a book that is in its 4th edition, list the date of publication of the 4th edition, not the original date of publication.

Publication date: Usually on the first page. Look near the article title or at the bottom of the first page. Article title: Always on the first page, toward the top.

Full dates can be given in the day-month-year style only in the works cited list (example: ). You may use the month day year style (example: ) also in the body of the writing, but be consistent (MLA 2.138). Use abbreviations for months with names longer than four letters: Jan.

Look underneath the headline of an article or blog post. Check for the date right under the title or at the start of the article's text. There may be a 1-sentence secondary headline or an image between the title of the post and the date. Keep scrolling to see if the date is listed below the secondary headline or image.
