How to compose an MLA citation for your articles
When you cite your sources, you are giving proper credit to the authors, and at the same time, strengthening your own work. Citation styles vary by discipline. For the fields of the humanities (English, History, Literature, etc.), we use the style guide put out by the Modern Language Association which is called MLA citation style. Regardless of whichever citation style you are required to use, citations always have two parts. First, you must cite your sources within the body of your paper, and these are called "in-text" citations. And secondly, you must compose a bibliography of all your sources at the end of your paper; when using MLA, this is called your "works cited" page. Below are examples of how to compose citations for different types of sources using MLA.
