APA In-text
citation
An in-text citation names the author of the source (often in
a signal
phrase), gives the date of publication, and at times includes
a page
number in parentheses. At the end of your paper, a list
of references
must provide the publication information about the source that
you refer
to in the text; this list has to be alphabetized by authors'
last names
(or by titles for the work when there is no author available). |

MLA Style
MLA style is used when you conduct research in the humanities
which is often interdisciplinary, crossing boundaries between
literature and history, philosophy and art, or music and religion.
In
MLA style, the alphabetical list of works cited, which appears
at the end of the paper, is titled "Works Cited". The
models in this section illustrate the MLA style for entries in
the list of works cited, set forth in the MLA Handbook for Writers
of Research Papers, 6th ed. You can also see the MLA-style
sample paper, get advice for preparing the list
of works cited and view answers to Frequently
Asked Questions about MLA Style.
MLA In-text
citations
MLA in-text citations are made with a combination of signal phrases
and parenthetical references. A signal phrase indicates that
something taken from a source (such as a quotation, summary,
paraphrase, or fact) is about to be used; usually the signal
phrase includes the author's name. The parenthetical reference,
which comes after the cited material, normally includes at least
a page number. At the end of your paper, a list of works cited
must provide the authors' name, the work's title and other
publication information. The basic rules are the same for both
print and electronic sources. |
