The MLA style manual
The
Modern Language Association's (MLA) style is most often used in
English, foreign language, and some other
humanities. MLA style uses a Works Cited Page to list works at the end of the paper. This style uses breif parenthetical citations, which include an author and page (if applicable), within the text. These direct readers to work of the author on the list of works cited, and the page of the work where the information is located (e.g.
(Smith 107) refers the reader to page 107 of the work made by someone named Smith). More information can be found in the
MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers ISBN 0873529863.
