MLA Citation Style
MLA Citation Style
What is MLA?
MLA is a citation style used to document the sources in your research paper or project.
You will cite your sources
in text
, meaning they appear in parentheses after you have paraphrased or quoted your source.
You will also cite your sources in your
works cited page
at the end of your paper.
Why do I have to cite?
You MUST cite all original work that is not your own. All authors deserve credit for their hard work.
Not citing original work is called
plagiarism
, which can result in failing papers and further academic consequences.
Where can I get help?
Talk to your professor about their citation requirements.
