MLA Style
What is Modern Language Association (MLA) style?
MLA style is commonly used in the humanities. It involves the use of parenthetical in-text citations, which means that the citation information is within parentheses beside the quoted or paraphrased information.
How do I cite sources in MLA style?
You can get help with MLA from the following:
- You can copy and paste a reference cited in MLA style directly from many of the library databases and from Google Scholar (to cite from Google Scholar, click on the quotation mark underneath the reference).
- You can also use a citation manager software, like Zotero or EndNote.
