This is a Quick Guide to MLA citations and references.

◦ It contains information on the basic formatting elements for MLA Style papers

◦ It contains sample in-text citations and references entries for the resources most commonly used

by students.

If your Instructor gives specific instructions for format or citations, follow his or her guidelines.

◦ The Oxford English Dictionary or the Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary are the standard

spelling references for MLA journals and books.

Capitalisation:

◦ The first word of the title and any word 4-letters or longer is capitalised.

◦ The first word after a dash or colon in the title is also capitalised.

◦ If there is an edition number, include that information.

◦ The word ―edition‖ is abbreviated.

◦ E.g.: 2nd ed.

◦ If the edition number also includes a description, include that information.

E.g.: 2nd Cdn. ed. for the second Canadian edition of a book.

Pagination:

◦ MLA requires page numbers for ALL in-text citation when they are available.

◦ When using articles from online data-bases, we recommend using the pdf version because they have

page numbers

◦ Websites do not have page numbers; do NOT create page numbers for web articles.

◦ For sources that typically are expected to have page numbers, but don‘t, use the abbreviation n.pag.

Paper Formatting

◦ Use an easy to read typeface in 12 point font size.

◦ Paper should be ―Letter‖ (8.5‖x11‖), NOT A4

◦ Margins should be set at 1 inch (2.54 cm) on all sides.

◦ Paragraphs should be indented .5 inches (1.27 cm).

◦ To set this on MS Word, click on paragraph settings

Under ―special‖, select ‗first line‘ and set the indent for .5 inches (1.27 cm).

◦ NOTE: Everything is double spaced!

◦ Leave only one space after periods or other punctuation marks.

Running Head:

◦ This appears at the top of every page

◦ There is no title page unless your instructor asks you for one.

◦ Under the ‗Insert‘ tab in MS word, select ―header‖.

◦ In the top, right margin, insert the page number, type your last name (see below)

Morality in the Harry Potter Series

To most young readers the fantastic tales of Harry Potter and his friends are about witches, wizards

and magic, but the book series is really an extended morality tale – a classic battle between good and evil. On

one side you have Harry …

• You must include citations for:

◦ Specific words — these should be in ―quotation marks‖.

◦ Summarizing or paraphrasing the ideas of another writer in your own words

◦ General ideas, concepts, or a particular line of argument, of another writer.

• You must put your citations in two places in your paper:

• First, cite your source in the body of your essay.

◦ This is called an ‗in-text citation‘

• Second, all of your sources are listed alphabetically, according to the authors‘ last names, in the Works

Cited list at the end of your paper.

◦ Figures are graphs, charts, diagrams, illustrations or photographs.

◦ Tables present data in rows and columns.

◦ They must be referred to in the body of your essay.

◦ Tables and figures should be placed near the paragraph in which they are mentioned.

◦ Generally speaking, if you provide source information with all of your figures and tables, you do not

need to also cite them on the Works Cited page.

◦ All entries must be numbered in order, with separate numbers for tables and figures. (Table 1, 2, 3 etc.,

Figure 1, 2, 3 etc.)

◦ When referring to tables and figures in your essay, use these numbers.

Example:

Despite the benefits of having an academic alert removed from their student records,

the number of students taking the remediation workshop has declined during the past

two school terms (see table 1).

Note: the word ‗table‘ is not capitalised in the in-text citation.

Source information:

◦ The titles of Tables are capitalised and placed above the table, flush to the left margin.

◦ MLA does not specify how figures should be entitled, but follow general MLA formatting for the

information posted in connection with your figures.

◦ Sources for figures and tables are listed in the following way:

◦ Author names are in First_Name—Last_Name format.

i.e., they are NOT inverted

◦ Commas are substituted for periods, except for the period at the end of the entry.

Basic Format for an In-Text Citation:

◦ In-text citations appear in the body of your essay, inside brackets, before the period at the end of the sentence.

◦ The basic format is (author‟s LAST name_page #).

• Use this format for direct quotes, paraphrases and summaries, from all sources.

◦ The first time you cite a source list the author‘s last name and the page number in the bracket.

• For consecutive citations, you only need to cite the page number.

One Author: In-text The author‘s last name and the page number(s) are placed in a bracket at the end of your quote, paraphrase or

summary. E.g.: (Gilbert 133).

Two Authors: in-text Both names must appear in the in-text citation every time that source is cited.

E.g.: (Groarke and Tindale 33).

Three + Authors: in-text Cite the first author‘s name in the brackets followed by ‗et al.‘ and then the page number(s)

E.g.: (Belch et al. 99).

Example:

Despite the fact that she has been practicing her yoga mantra for more than two years she says it

does not successfully guide her into meditation (Gilbert 133). No matter how often she tries, she

complains that her mantra “doesn‟t sit comfortably in my head”; it “gets stuck in my throat”

(133).

Block quotations are direct quotations of more than three lines.

◦ They are also used when quoting dialogue from plays.

◦ Start the quote on a new line, indented ½ inch (1.27 cm) from the left margin

Omit the quotation marks

The in-text citation follows the final period of the paragraph.

Like the body of your essay, extended or block quotes are also double-spaced

Example:

It is the consistency between our values and principles that makes for what he calls „effective living‟:

The more closely our maps or paradigms are aligned with these principles or natural laws, the

more accurate and functional they will be. Correct maps will infinitely impact our personal and

interpersonal effectiveness far more than any amount of effort expended on changing our

attitudes or behaviors. (Covey 35)

◦ Sometimes you may quote an author who is quoting someone else.

◦ We call this an ―indirect citation.‖

◦ When using an indirect citation in your essays,

◦ Cite YOUR SOURCE ONLY in-text.

In-text, cite the material using ―qtd. in‖ and your source

◦ Cite YOUR SOURCE ONLY on your Works Cited page.

In-text Citation:

François Olivier said, “The higher the monkey climbs, the more he shows his ass” (qtd. in Saul 2).

◦ The Works Cited list is the complete list of all the sources used in your paper.

◦ It is placed on separate pages at the end of the paper.

◦ Centre the title (Work Cited, for 1 source; Works Cited for more than 1) at the top of the first page after the

end of your essay.

◦ Double-space all entries on the Works Cited page.

◦ Entries should have a hanging indent of .5 inches (1.27 cm).

◦ Sources are listed in alphabetical order by the author‘s last (family) name.

◦ ONLY the name of the first author for any work is inverted (last_name, first_name)

Example: Smith, John.

◦ For any material accessed online

Include the stable URL OR the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and the date you accessed the material.

One Author: Works Cited entry

Invert the author‘s name in the Works Cited entry. E.g.: Irving, John.

Two Authors: Works Cited

Only the first author‘s name is inverted. E.g.: Groarke, Leo A. and Christopher W. Tindale.

Three + Authors: Works Cited

Invert the first author‘s name followed by et al. E.g.: Belch, George E. et al.

1. WHAT TYPE OF SOURCE YOU ARE CITING?

2. Who is the author or authors?

a. Distinguish LAST NAMES (family names) from first names.

3. When was it published?

Once you‘ve answered these questions, look up how to cite your source in the Table of

Contents for this Guide (page 1)

• If it is a stand-alone copy of a play, then cite it in-text and in Works Cited by the author(s) the same way
