It provides extensive guidelines on how to formulate a topic, format a research paper, cite parenthetical texts and compile a list of works cited in English as well as other foreign languages. Other useful capabilities include documenting online sources, writing a quote from an e-mail received or incorporating abbreviations in your list of references.

There is also in-depth discussion on plagiarism. Parenthetical Citations In general, MLA requires parenthetical citations, or citations that are put in parentheses, in the text, directly following the material that is quoted, summarized, or paraphrased. When referencing the same page or a different page by the same author in a paragraph just incorporate the page number. To cite authors with the same last names, include their full name or initials followed by the page number.

Upon citing electronic sources, film or Internet sources, reference the source in in-text citations. Sources should be italicized. Cite the name of the entire bible, chapter and verse. New Jerusalem Bible, Ezek.

New and Revised Guidelines 1. MLA now requires the inclusion of issue and volume numbers of journals in electronic databases. Citations for graphic narratives and digital files must now include the type of file PDF or MP3, for example 3.

Punctuation of titles of works 4. Citations of works in newspapers 5. Medium of publication must now be listed in every entry of list of works cited, including designating whether it is Print or Web-based, or Performance, TV or DVD.

Figures, tables and captions do not use parenthetical citations. A full citation should be listed directly under the material.
