MLA In-Text Citations (Modern Language Association

In MLA style, referring to the works of others in your text is done by using what is known as parenthetical citation. This method involves placing relevant source information in parentheses after a quote or paraphrase.

MLA format follows the author page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited Page.

The author’s name may either appear in the sentence itself or in the parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number (s) should always appear in parentheses, not in the text of your sentence.
