As Twitter grows in popularity, more and more researchers and scientists are using the social network to communicate and discuss their research. This rise has created a demand for official formats to cite Tweets in scholarly papers. Tweet2Cite generates a citation from the URL of a tweet in either MLA (Modern Language Association) or APA (American Psychological Association) formats.

Just paste the URL of a tweet into the box provided and watch as your citation is spit back in the appropriate style to be used in your paper. Hopefully there will be more resources like Tweet2Cite to come that supply citations in formats other than MLA and APA.

Don’t forget to follow the MSK Library Twitter stream @MSKCC_Library to keep abreast of cancer research news, training workshops, Center news, useful updates for keeping current, and to tweet with us about your scholarly work!
