MLA (Modern Language Association) style is commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities. This PowerPoint offers examples for the general format of MLA research papers, in- text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the Works Cited page.
What about MLA format? All research papers on literature use MLA format, as it is the universal citation method for the field of literary studies. Whenever you use a primary or secondary source, whether you are quoting or paraphrasing, you will make parenthetical citations in the MLA format [Ex. (Smith 67).] Your Works Cited list will be the last page of your essay. Consult the OWL handout on MLA for further instructions.
