How do you cite an online transcript of an interview in MLA format?
To cite an online transcript of an interview in MLA format, follow these steps:
1. Start with the author's name or the name of the interviewee, depending on the focus of your citation. If the transcript does not mention an author, skip this step.
2. Include the title of the interview or the name of the website where the transcript is published. Place it in quotation marks.
3. Specify the interview type by indicating "Interview" after the title or the name of the website.
4. Provide the date of the interview in day-month-year format. If the date is not available, use n.d. to indicate "no date."
5. Include the URL (web address) of the transcript, enclosed in angle brackets (< >).
6. End the citation with the word "Accessed" followed by the date you accessed the transcript in day-month-year format.
Here is an example citation for an online interview transcript:
Author's Name or Interviewee's Name. "Title of Interview." Website Name, Interview, Day Month Year, URL. Accessed Day Month Year.
For example:
Smith, John. "Interview with Jane Doe." Interview with Jane Doe, 20 Jan. 2022, www.examplewebsite.com/interview-transcript. Accessed 5 Feb. 2022.
Remember to italicize the website name and use proper capitalization and punctuation.
Note that this is a general MLA format for online interview transcripts. If you are following specific guidelines from your institution or professor, make sure to adapt the citation accordingly.
