Who Uses MLA?

The MLA Handbook is a style and formatting guide used in several disciplines, most commonly English and Literature. Please consult your assignment instructions to see what style is the best to use for your project.

Quick Formating Guide to MLA Style

Mla format basics.

Below is a brief overview of the basics of MLA formatting. This overview is not comprehensive, however, so please consult course materials and the official MLA Handbook. Always follow additional guidelines and rules outlined by your instructor.

General Guidelines

• According to MLA guidelines, the font for your paper should be 12 pt. It is suggested that you use an easy-to-read font style, such as Times New Roman. Check your assignment guidelines to see if your instructor recommends a particular font.
• Text should be double spaced and all paragraphs should be indented.
• In the top right corner of the page should be your last name (the author's) followed by the page number.
• Margins should be set to 1 inch on all sides of the paper.
• MLA papers typically do not have a title page. Instead, include your (the author's) first and last name in the top left corner of the first page of text. On separate lines below the author's name, list the instructor's name, the course name, and the date.
• The title of the paper is located on the line below the date. It should be centered and should use title case.

In-Text Citations

• For in-text citations, place the author's last name and the page number in parentheses (Last ##).
• If the author is called out in the text, meaning their name is used in the sentence needing the citation, then the page number is the only element included in parentheses. Example: Smith explored the potential impact of ChatGPT and other AI tools in the classroom (345).
• If there is no known author for a text, use a shortened version of the source title in place of the author's last name.
• If the author is a corporate entity, use the corporation's name in the place of the author's last name. When applicable, abbreviate elements of the corporation's name.
• If the source has two authors, include both authors' last names in the in-text citation [Example: (Smith and Johnson 35)]. If the source has three or more authors, the in-text citation should include the first author's last name followed by et al. [Example: (Smith et al. 167)].

Works Cited Page

• The Works Cited page should begin on a separate page after the conclusion of your paper. Include the title Work Cited at the top of the page, centered and in bold font.
• All entries on the Works Cited page are aligned to the left and double-spaced. Each entry should have a hanging indent, meaning any lines after the first should be indented .5 inches.
• All entries should be alphabetized by the left most element of the citation (typically the author's last name).

Welcome to the Purdue OWL

This page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue University. When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice.

Copyright ©1995-2018 by The Writing Lab & The OWL at Purdue and Purdue University. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, reproduced, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed without permission. Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms and conditions of fair use.

These OWL resources will help you understand and complete specific types of writing assignments, such as annotated bibliographies, book reports, and research papers. This section also includes resources on writing academic proposals for conference presentations, journal articles, and books.

Understanding Writing Assignments

This resource describes some steps you can take to better understand the requirements of your writing assignments. This resource works for either in-class, teacher-led discussion or for personal use.

Argument Papers

This resource outlines the generally accepted structure for introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions in an academic argument paper. Keep in mind that this resource contains guidelines and not strict rules about organization. Your structure needs to be flexible enough to meet the requirements of your purpose and audience.

Research Papers

This handout provides detailed information about how to write research papers including discussing research papers as a genre, choosing topics, and finding sources.

Exploratory Papers

This resource will help you with exploratory/inquiry essay assignments.

Annotated Bibliographies

This handout provides information about annotated bibliographies in MLA, APA, and CMS.

Book Report

This resource discusses book reports and how to write them.

Definitions

This handout provides suggestions and examples for writing definitions.

Essays for Exams

While most OWL resources recommend a longer writing process (start early, revise often, conduct thorough research, etc.), sometimes you just have to write quickly in test situations. However, these exam essays can be no less important pieces of writing than research papers because they can influence final grades for courses, and/or they can mean the difference between getting into an academic program (GED, SAT, GRE). To that end, this resource will help you prepare and write essays for exams.

Book Review

This resource discusses book reviews and how to write them.

Academic Proposals

This resource will help undergraduate, graduate, and professional scholars write proposals for academic conferences, articles, and books.

• Copyright Overview from Purdue University
• U.S. Copyright Office
• Fair Use Evaluator
• Visual Resources Association's Statement of Fair Use of Images for Teaching, Research, and Study
• Creative Commons Licenses

Attribution

Again, the majority of images you find are under copyright and cannot be used without permission from the creator. There are exceptions with Fair Use, but this Libguide is intended to help you locate images you can use with attribution (and in some case, the images are free to use without attribution when stated, such as with stock images from pixabay). ***Please read about public domain . These images aren't under copyright, but it's still good practice to include attribution if the information is available. Attribution : the act of attributing something, especially the ascribing of a work (as of literature or art) to a particular author or artist. When you have given proper attribution, it means you have given the information necessary for people to know who the creator of the work is.

Citation General Guidelines

Include as much of the information below when citing images in a paper and formal presentations. Apply the appropriate citation style (see below for APA, MLA examples).

• Image creator's name (artist, photographer, etc.)
• Title of the image
• Date the image (or work represented by the image) was created
• Date the image was posted online
• Date of access (the date you accessed the online image)
• Institution (gallery, museum) where the image is located/owned (if applicable)
• Website and/or Database name

• Directions for citing in MLA, APA, and Chicago MLA: Citing images in-text, incorporating images into the text of your paper, works cited APA 6th ed.: Citing images in-text and reference list Chicago 17th ed.: Citing images footnotes and endnotes and bibliography from Simon Fraser University
• How to Cite Images Using IEEE from the SAIT Reg Erhardt Library
• Image, Photograph, or Related Artwork (IEEE) from the Rochester Institute of Technology Library

Citing Images in Your PPT

Currently, citing images in PPT is a bit of the Wild West. If details aren't provided by an instructor, there are a number of ways to cite. What's most important is that if the image is not a free stock image, you give credit to the author for the work. Here are some options:

1. Some sites, such as Creative Commons and Wikimedia, include the citation information with the image. Use that citation when available. Copy the citation and add under the image. For example, an image of a lake from Creative Commons has this citation next to it:  "lake"  by  barnyz  is licensed under  CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 .

2. Include a marker, such as Image 1. or Figure 1., and in the reference section, include full citation information with the corresponding number

3. Include a complete citation (whatever the required format, such as APA) below the image

4. Below the image, include the link to the online image location

5. Hyperlink the title of the image with the online image location
