The confusion over how to cite lecture notes comes from the fact that they’re not written in formal print often as, say, a book. They’re typically paraphrased also. Now you’re thinking how do I cite this?


The answer depends on one question: are the lecture notes published?

If yes: Then you need to have a reference/work cited/bibliography list.

If no: Then your lecture notes aren’t accessible to your readers. In which case, you only need to cite them in the body of your paper (in-text citations) and not in your reference/work cited/bibliography list.

Let me show you how it looks for each style format.

• MLA
• APA
