For any odd positive integer n, we express cyclic codes over \({\mathbb {Z}}_4\) of length 4n in a new way. Based on the expression of each cyclic code \({\mathcal {C}}\), we provide an efficient encoder and determine the type of \({\mathcal {C}}\). In particular, we give an explicit representation and enumeration for all distinct self-dual cyclic codes over \({\mathbb {Z}}_4\) of length 4n and correct a mistake in the paper “Concatenated structure of cyclic codes over \({\mathbb {Z}}_4\) of length 4n” (Cao et al. in Appl Algebra Eng Commun Comput 10:279–302, 2016). In addition, we obtain 50 new self-dual cyclic codes over \({\mathbb {Z}}_4\) of length 28.
