FORMATTING THE PAPER
Marginal settings:
header is ½ inch from the top
body of paper is 1 inch from the topMLA 6
left and right margins are 1 inch
right margin NOT blocked (marginal setting should be set on “Left aligned,” not on
“Justified.”
Line spacing: double spaced from the top to the bottom and throughout the paper on all pages,
including the Works Cited page.
NOTE: for Microsoft Word versions 2010 and most recent, the defaults settings
of spacing (that places extra lines between paragraphs) must be changed.
Indentation of paragraphs: indented ½ inch through the use of the TAB key.
Header:
numbers the paper’s pages
numbered in accordance with writer’s last name and page number
separated by one space
typed in same font size and type as the body of the paper
Heading: used in place of a title page since MLA style does not require a title page
double-spaced with the following four lines in order:
your name
professor’s name
course name and number
datewritten military style, such as 9 January 2014
NOTE: some professors will allow dates to be written in civilian style, such as
January 9, 2014.
The months should be spelled out rather than abbreviated.
Title of Document:

IN-TEXT (PARENTHETICAL) CITING IN MLA STYLE
To prevent plagiarism in MLA style as well as in all college papers, MLA style cites sources
within the body of the paper, called in-text or parenthetical citing.
1. Correct in-text citing depends upon the type of source, but the basic structure is to cite by
a. the author or authors’ last name(s) and page number (if from a textbook, journal,
magazine, and other pagination sources, etc.) and
b. only by the author or authors’ last name(s) if source is from the internet.
2. If the name of a specific author cannot be found, cite by organization name.
3. If there is no apparent name of a person, people, or organization, cite by the title of the
source.
Two different ways to cite (in-text) in the body of an MLA style paper:
1. Use of the author’s name as part of the sentence.
When the author’s name is used as part of the sentence, cite only the page number within the
parenthesis. The period follows the citation as though the citation is part of the sentence.
Do not use abbreviations for page, such as p. or pg.; cite only by the numerical digit.
If source does not include a page number, nothing needs to go within the parenthesis except for
citing lines of poetry, verses from the Bible, and dialogue from a play.
Example:
Thomas Modern claims that “MLA Style of formatting is the easiest style to use” (45).
2. When the author’s name is not used.
The author’s last name is cited along with the page number.
Note: When a source contains more than one author, ALL of them should be cited.
Example:MLA 8
The expert of writing claims, “MLA Style of formatting is the easiest style to use” (Modern 45).
NOTE: The sources that you cite in your paper need to be included in your Works
Cited list!
Citing Same Source Multiple Times within the Paper:
1. When citing a source the first time, use the author’s name(s) unless the name is used as part of
the sentence that introduces the source’s text.
Example:
The expert of writing claims, “MLA Style of formatting is the easiest style to use” (Modern 45).
2. When citing same source again, cite only by page number (if source has one) for subsequent
citations unless you switch sources (i.e., use another source).
Examples:
First time: The expert adds, “MLA Style does not require a title page like APA and Chicago
Style do” (Modern 48).
Next citation right after the first: However, the margins in “MLA Style are one inch top, bottom,
left, and right in the same format at APA and Chicago Style” (36).
Third citation is another source.
Fourth citation is a return back to citing the first source: the citation must contain the author’s
name along with the page number so the reader will know which source is being cited.
Examples of Parenthetical Documentation (citing within the paper) depending
on Type of Source:
Citing Author(s) of a Book:
Example of a citation in paper where quoted portion came from page 10 of Robert M.
Townsend’s book, The Medieval Village Economy:
In-text: “ . . . grain” (Townsend 10).MLA 9
Within sentence: Townsend states, “……” (10).
The period follows the citation.
One Work by One Author, Multiple Pages:
Give only the author’s last name and page numbers to cite the book.
Examples:
In-text: (Patterson 183-84.)
Within sentence: Patterson describes ……(183-84).
NOTE: MLA style writes page numbers three digits and more as 183-84 rather than as 183-184.
More than One Author with the Same Last Name within the Paper:
If your paper contains sources by more than one author with the same last name: Add the
first initial.
Example: (A. Patterson 183-84) and (I. Patterson 230).
If the first initial is the same for both authors, add the first full name.
Example: (Anthony Patterson 183-84) and (Aaron Patterson 230).
One Work by Two Authors:
Give the last names of both authors.
Cite in the same order as shown on the source.
A comma is not needed between the authors’ names.
Examples:
In-text: (Rabkin and Olander 165).
Within sentence: Rabkin and Olander state, “…..” (165).
One Work by Three Authors:
Give the last names of all three authors.MLA 10
Cite in the same order as shown on the source.
A comma is needed between the authors’ names, including before the name of the last author.
Examples:
In-text: (Rabkin, Lindscombe, and Olander 165).
Within sentence: Rabkin, Lindscombe, and Olander explain …..(165).
Work with More than Three Authors:
Use one of the following two choices for three or more authors:
1. Give the first author’s last name followed by et al., without any intervening punctuation.
Example: (Lauter et al. 2601-09).
2. Give all authors’ last names.
Example: (Lauter, Greene, Adams, and Smith 2601-09).
The choice must match the source as listed on the Works Cited page. If et al. used in the body, it
is used on the Works Cited page.
Citing must be the same for the source throughout the paper. If first citation is the use of et al.,
must stay with et al.
Note the correct placement of the period with the abbreviation: et al.
A comma is not used between the last name of the author or et al.
Citing Work Listed by Organization:
For a work that does not contain an author, cite by the name of the organization that sponsored
the source.
In the below cited example, the organization Spy Unlimited is the name of the organization that
sponsored an article. The source does not contain page numbers.
Example:
International espionage was as prevalent as ever in the 1990s (Spy Unlimited).MLA 11
Citing Work Listed by Title:
When the source does not contain the name of the author(s) or an organization, cite by the title.
If the title is short, list the full title. If the title is long, shorten it by using the first few words of
the title, followed by the reference number (such as page number), if one is available.
Enclose the title within quotation marks.
Example:
International espionage was as prevalent as ever in the 1990s (“Decade”).
Punctuation and Placement of Parenthetical References:
To avoid interrupting the flow of a sentence:
Place the parenthetical reference where a pause would naturally occur (preferably at the end of a
sentence), as near as possible to the material documented.
Punctuation:
The period that concludes the sentence, clause, or phrase containing the borrowed material
follows the parenthetical reference as though the in-text citation were part of the sentence.
Example of paraphrased/summarized citation:
In his Autobiography, Benjamin Franklin states that he prepared a list of thirteen virtues
(135-37).
Punctuation of a quotation:
The reference is inserted directly after a quote, and punctuation follows the citation.
Example:
In the late Renaissance, Machiavelli contended that human beings were by nature,
“ungrateful” and “mutable” (1240), and Montaigne thought them “miserable and puny”
(1343).
When the quote is followed by a question mark or exclamation point, both must be used before
the last set of quotation marks, and a period ends the citation.
Example:MLA 12
When he saw the gruesome scene, the investigator Andrews exclaimed, “Oh! This is terrible!”
(Harrison and Tyler 140).
Block Quoting Poetry or Prose:
When four or more lines of prose are quoted, or when three or more lines of poetry are quoted,
the quote must be typed in block style to set if off from the paragraph.
Steps:
Type the phrase that introduces the quote.
Follow the phrase with a colon.
Begin the quote on a new line and maintain double-spacing and right and left margins.
Tab twice to indent the quote.
Do not use quotation marks before or after the quote.
Place the end punctuation after the quote.
Insert the parenthetical reference but do not end the citation with a period.
Return to the left margin to continue typing the rest of the paragraph.
Example 1 (quoting four lines of prose):
John K. Mahon adds a further insight to our understanding of the War of 1812:
Financing the war was very difficult at the time. Baring Brothers, a banking firm
of the enemy country, handled routine accounts for the United States overseas, but
the firm would take on no loans. The loans were in the end absorbed by wealthy
Americans at great hazard—also, as it turned out, at great profit to them. (385)
Example 2 (quoting more than three lines of poetry):
Elizabeth Bishop’s “In the Waiting Room” is rich in evocative detail:
It was winter. It got dark
early. The waiting room
was full of grown-up people,
arctics, and overcoats,MLA 13
lamps and magazines. (6-10)
Citing More than One Work in a Single Parenthetical Reference:
These multiple citations are generally used with paraphrased or summarized citing. For direct
quoting, the corresponding citation follows each quote.
Cite each work in same fashion as in a single reference, but use semicolons to separate the
citations.
For the order of citing (i.e., which source is cited first), alphabetize by the authors’ last name.
Example: (Fukuyama 42; McRae 101-33).
Citing Common Literature:
Novel or Play:
Add chapter number to help readers locate quote. Give page number first, add a semicolon, and
give other identifying information, using appropriate abbreviations.
Example:
In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Mary Wollstonecraft recollects many “women, who,
not led by degrees to proper studies, and not permitted to choose for themselves, have indeed
been overgrown children” (185; ch. 13, sec 2).
Verse Plays and Poems:
Omit page numbers and cite by division (act, scene, canto, book, part) and line, with periods
separating the various numbers.
Example: (Ant. 5.1.5-12).
The above example represents quoted lines from Shakespeare’s play, Antony and Cleopatra, Act
5, Scene 1, Lines 5-12.
Note: use only Arabic numbers, even if roman numerals are used in the printed works.MLA 14
Example 1:
For poetry, use insert the word line the first time quoting occurs from the poem. Subsequently,
cite only by numerical digit.
In “Marching Song,” Nesbit declares, “Our arms and hearts are strong for all who suffer wrong .
. .” (line 11). His declaration portrays the intense attitude of justice the permeates the mind and
soul. He adds, “. . . .” (9).
Example 2:
One Shakespearean protagonist seems resolute at first when he asserts, “Haste me to know’t, that
I, with wings as swift / as meditation . . . / May sweep to my revenge” (Ham. 1.5.35-37), but he
soon has second thoughts; another tragic figure, initially described as “too full ‘ th’milk of
human kindness” (Mac. 1.5.17), quickly descends into horrific slaughter.
Note: Each line is separated by a slash with one space before and one space after the slash.
Quoting and Citing Information from a Play:
Quote sets of dialogue between two or more characters by also using block format (refer to page
11) and typing the characters' names in all capital letters followed by a period.
Don't forget to precede the quote with a lead-in phrase and end the dialogue with a citation that
includes all speeches being quoted.
Example:
Willy's delusions consistently show how much Happy and Bernard idolized Biff, especially
when they argue over who will carry his football gear:
BERNARD. Biff, I'm carrying your helmet, ain't I?
HAPPY. No, I'm carrying the helmet.
BERNARD. Oh, Biff, you promised me.
HAPPY. I'm carrying the helmet. (Miller 2.213-216)MLA 15
Use of an Ellipsis:
Use an ellipsis (. . .) if only a part of an author’s work or character's speech is quoted. This shows
that words are left out of the quote.
Type the ellipsis as period-space-period-space-period.
Example 1:
Romeo and Juliet presents an opposition between two worlds: “the world of the everyday . . .
and the world of romance.” Although the two lovers are part of the world of romance, their
language of love nevertheless becomes “fully responsive to the tang of actuality” (Zender 138,
141).
Example 2:
". . . the sky's the limit, because it's not what you do, Ben. It's who you know...It's contacts, Ben,
contacts!" (Miller 2.202).
Web Publication with No Pagination or Other Reference Marker:
Web publications such as these rarely contain page numbers.
Cite in one of two ways:
1. Include the name of the person cited within the text to avoid parenthetical
documentation.
Example 1:
Chan considers the same topic in the context of Hong Kong cinema.
2. Include the author’s name in parenthesis.
Example 2:
The utilitarian of the Victorians “attempted to reduce decision-making about human actions to a
‘felicifa calculus’ ” (Everett).MLA 16
Citing the Bible:
When included in parenthetical reference, the titles of the books of the Bible are often
abbreviated, such as, 1 Chron. 21.8, Rev. 21.3.
Chapters and verses are separated by periods, not by semicolons or colons.
Example:
In one of the most vivid, prophetic visions in the Bible, Ezekial saw “what seemed to be four
living creatures,” each with the faces of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle (New Jerusalem Bible,
Ezek. 1.5-10). John of Patmos echoes this passage when describing his vision (Rev. 4.6-8).
The Works Cited Page
The Works Cited page is
1. The last page of the essay/paper
2. A list of all of the sources that were used in the body of your paper
3. Begins on a separate page own even if space is left on the last page of the essay
4. Is numbered as part of the entire essay/paper
Basic Procedure:
1. Label the top of the page with the heading, Works Cited (if more than one source is used) or
Work Cited (if using only one source).
a. Center the heading.
b. Do not underline, bold font, or write in larger font size.
2. Spacing of the Works Cited page should be the same: double from the top to the bottom that
was used throughout the body of your paper.
a. The first line of each entry should be flush against the left margin.MLA 17
b. The second and subsequent lines should be indented one-half inch (called a hanging
indent).
3. Alphabetize sources by authors' last names, regardless of the order sources were cited in the
body of the paper. Alphabetizing
a. enables the reader to easily locate cited sources
b. provides the necessary information about each source
Listing by Authors’ Names:
1. Authors' names are inverted (last name, first name).
2. If a work has more than one author, invert only the first author's name, follow it with a
comma then continue listing the rest of the authors in first name-last name format.
Sources Without an Author:
1. List by organization or corporate name in place of author’s name
2. If no corporate name, start entry with the title of the source.
General Rules for Documenting Titles of Sources:
1. Capitalize the first letter of each key word in the main title and subtitle (if applicable)
2. Do not capitalize the following words (unless they are the first word of a title):
a. prepositions (of, for, from, etc.), example: “Of Mice and Men”
b. articles (the, a, an), example: “A Rose for Emily”
c. conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, etc.), example, “And the Band Still Plays”
3. Proper names should always be capitalized.
4. Titles of long works should be noted in italics; titles of short works are enclosed by quotation
marks.
Note type of source by the word “Print” or “Web”:MLA 18
1. Print if source is a hard copy.
2. Web if source comes from the internet.
NOTE: Only those sources that are cited in the body of the paper should be included in the
Works Cited list.
Example of a Works Cited page (the body of the essay contained 3 pages):
Berry 4

Inclusive page numbers refer to the first page the literary work began and the last page number
of when work ended within the anthology.MLA 21
For page numbers of three or more numerical digits: MLA style drops the first digit for the end
page number: pages 134-157 is written as 134-57.
However, to avoid confusion, if the digit in the hundredths portion is not the same, the digit is
not dropped: pages 1358-1474 is written as 1358-474.

Literary Works Online:
Basic notes:
Literary works include poems, essays, etc.
The old method for citing websites was to use the URL (the complete web address) as part of the
entry.
Example of URL:
. . . .
URLs are included as supplementary information only when the reader cannot possibly locate
the source without it or when the instructor requires it.
The hyperlinks of the URL should be removed, and the side angle keys (shown on the comma
and period keys of the keyboard) should be used before and after the URL. End the URL with a
period.
Basic format if URL required:
Editor(s), title of article in italics, sponsor, date of article, medium (i.e., web), date of access,
web address (URL).
Dates:
Date of access is the date the source was researched on the web.
MLA style writes dates as date-month-full year format. No comma is used.
Example: 20 Nov. 2013 not Nov. 20, 2013 or 11/20/2013
MLA abbreviates all months except May, June, and July.
Example:
Eaves, Morris, Robert Essick, and Joseph Viscomi, eds. The William Blake Archive. Lib. OfMLA 23
