How to Cite Work as an Anthology
Citing your sources when writing a paper or report ensures you avoid allegations of plagiarism and gives credit to those who published the original work. An anthology, which is a collection of works, such as short stories, essays or poems, requires you to slightly modify the citation style to attribute the work to being included in the anthology as opposed to being standalone material. One of the most common forms of citation is that provided by the American Psychological Association (APA), whose style is demonstrated here.
