In Text Citation
MLA Citation Style
The Modern Language Association (MLA) Style is widely used for identifying research sources. In MLA style you briefly credit sources with parenthetical citations in the text of your paper, and give the complete description of each source in your Works Cited list. The Works Cited list, or Bibliography, is a list of all the sources used in your paper, arranged alphabetically by author's last name, or when there is no author, by the first word of the title (except A, An or The). [5.1-5.5]
For example:
In the text of your paper:
The Civil War had an enormous impact on the lives of soldiers. Millions of men fought in the war and about one million were wounded or died (Hart, 124).
or,
Diane Hart characterized the Civil War as an extremely deadly affair in the textbook Pursuing American Ideals. She argues that “Around 3 million men fought in the Civil War. As many as a third of these soldiers died or were wounded in battle” (124).
