MLA Citation

We show that we are credible writers when we give credit to our sources internally and externally. In
English courses, we use Modern Language Association (MLA) guidelines for citations.

Internal citations correspond to entries on the Works Cited page; they tell our readers enough
information so that they can locate the source on the Works Cited page.

Internal citations take the form of parenthetical citation or parenthetical reference and signaling
phrases. Parenthetical citation is a method of citing sources within a text by putting the main identifying
source information in parentheses at the end of a sentence, also known as parenthetical reference.
