Note: If the author's screen name is unfamiliar or does not easily identify the author, you may include the authors full name in parenthesis if it is know. Example:
@aplusk (Ashton Kutcher)
Note: Ignore the @ symbol on Twitter handles when alphabetizing your works cited list. Order these entries by the first letter of the handle.
When referring to personal interviews, treat the person being interviewed as the author.
In-text citations must correspond to the first entry in the works cited entry. If there is no page, paragraph or other identifying number, give the author's name only.
