Concerning Parenthetical Documentation and Works Cited
This guide provides select examples of Modern Language Association (MLA) style for citing sources, excerpted from Joseph Gibaldi, MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing. 2nd ed. New York: Modern Language Association of America, 1998, Ref PN147 .G444 1998, and MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. 6th ed. New York...
MLA requires a list of Works Cited at the end of a paper and Parenthetical Documentation in the text of the paper, referring to entries on the Works Cited list. Cite only sources to which the paper refers, not every work examined. Entries in the Works Cited list should be arranged alphabetically by principal author's last name or, if the work is anonymous, by it's title. Each entry should usually include name(s) of author(s), full title of work, place of publication, publisher, date of publication and, for periodical articles, volume, issue and inclusive page numbers. Bibliographic information should be taken from the source's title page.
