MLA STYLE

What is MLA style?  MLA is a citation style which is used for citing sources of a research paper or term paper.  MLA style is the citation style found in the book MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (6 th Edition)

When citing sources for a paper, you need to provide:  In-text citations  Works cited list citations

What Are In-Text Citations? Citations which are to be found within the paper. These are usually enclosed in parentheses. Use the author/page number method for in-text citations.

Basic Example of an In-Text Citation (Townsend 10) Note: “Townsend” is the author’s last name and the number “10” is the page number.

Citing an Entire Work When citing an entire work, it is preferable to cite the author within a sentence instead of in a parenthetical citation (p. 242, MLA Handbook)

Citing an Entire Work (continued) Fukuyama’s Our Posthuman Future includes many examples of this trend.

Citing Part of a Work (Jakobson and Waugh 304) [2 authors] (Rabkin, Greenberg, and Olander vii) [3 authors] Note: You can include authors’ names in the sentences and have only the page numbers in the parenthetical citation.

Citing Part of a Work (continued) Note: When citing four or more authors, you may list all authors or list only the first author and the abbreviation et al., which means “and others.” (Lauter et al )

Citing Volume and Page Numbers of a Multivolume Work (1: ) Note: The number “1” represents the volume number.

A Work, No Author Given (Cite by Title) (Report) [an entire work] (“Mandarin”) [a part of a work, no page number given]

Works Cited List Citations

What Are Works Cited List Citations? Citations which appear in the List of Works Cited at the end of the paper.

Characteristics of works cited list citations in MLA Style  Citations are to be alphabetically arranged.  Indent ½ inch, or 5 spaces, for every line of a citation except the first line.  Double space between and within citations.
