MLA Format &CitationS
In-text (parenthetically) and Works cited

2. What are citations & Why do we have them?
Citations are the author’s way to demonstrating proof, credibility, and integrity.
We need them:
In case we want to investigate information further;
To critically respond to an author.

3. For example:

4. Let’s compare this to “trump’s press secretary falsely claims…”
The only numbers Spicer cited were ridership numbers from WMATA, the D.C. public- transit system. “We know that 420,000 people used D.C. Metro public transit yesterday, which compares to 317,000 that used it for President Obama's last inaugural,” he said. But the figures Spicer offered were not consistent with those provided by WMATA officials, who told the Washington Post that 570,557 riders used the Metro system between its 4 a.m. opening and its midnight closure on Friday. That number falls short of both President Obama’s 2009 and 2013 inaugurations, which saw 1.1 million trips and 782,000 trips respectively.

5. Parenthetical citations
These are added after a statement or sentence. MLA generally uses author last name + page number, if available. With online articles/sources, use only the author’s name.
For example: “The only numbers Spicer cited were from the WMATA” (Ford).
You SHOULD ALSO use parenthetical citations when paraphrasing and summarizing.
