According to the MLA Style Center, "Very few circumstances call for citing an abstract. Never cite an abstract as a short-cut, a way of avoiding reading and citing the full published work."
However, if you do cite an abstract, the format for citing depends on the style your instructor has requested for your research paper. MLA and APA are the most common styles used at LCCC. Use the links below.
