CitationsThe MLA citation format is a language with very specific grammar. This grammar allows you to condense a great deal of information about your resources. Rather than write a paragraph to explain the resource you used and where it can be found, you can unambiguously share all if the important information in few words. Without the format, some of the information would unclear.
MLA updated their citation format spring of 2016. Instead of different formats for different types of sources, they have focused on providing a format for the basic traits that most sources will have. Such as author, title, publisher, etc. If a sources doesn't have an element, skip it in the citation. |
