The MLA style, or Modern Language Association style, is a widely used citation format in the humanities. It is commonly used for writing research papers and citing sources in literature, languages, and other related fields.
To understand and apply the MLA style, you can refer to various online resources that provide detailed guidelines and examples. One highly recommended website is the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/. It offers comprehensive information and examples on various aspects of MLA formatting, such as in-text citations, works cited page, formatting guidelines for papers, and more.
By visiting this website, you will find specific instructions on how to structure and format your paper, how to properly cite different types of sources such as books, articles, and websites, and how to create a works cited page that lists all the sources you used in your paper.
If you have any specific questions or need further clarification on any part of the MLA style, feel free to ask.
