MLA Citation Style | Cornell University Library. MLA Citation Style The Modern Language Association (MLA) establishes values for acknowledging sources used in a research paper.
MLA citation style uses a simple two-part parenthetical documentation system for citing sources: Citations in the text of a paper point to the alphabetical Works Cited list that appears at the end of the paper. Together, these references identify and credit the sources used in the paper and allow others to access and retrieve this material. Note: A parenthetical reference to a familiar historical document -- i.e., the United States Constitution -- no longer requires a corresponding entry in the Works Cited list. Citing sources in the text In MLA style, writers place references to sources in the paper to briefly identify them and enable readers to find them in the Works Cited list. Give only the information needed to identify a source.
Examples: For more detailed information about citing references in the text, please refer to the MLA resources listed below. Examples. Trello.
