How do you cite a source in MLA format? * 1 point
To cite a source in MLA format, you usually follow the following general guidelines:
1. Start with the author's last name, followed by a comma and then their first name. If there are multiple authors, list them in the same order as they appear in the source.
2. If no author is provided, you can begin with the title of the source.
3. Provide the title of the source in italics or quotation marks (depending on the type of source) and capitalize the first letter of each major word.
4. Provide the title of the container (e.g., the book or website) in italics, followed by a comma. It should be preceded by the words "Edited by" or "Directed by," if applicable.
5. Provide the version of the source, if applicable (e.g., an updated edition of a book).
6. Provide the publisher or sponsor of the source, followed by a comma.
7. Include the publication date. If it's not available, you can use the date of access for online sources.
8. If it is a print source, include the page numbers of the specific information you are citing, separated by a hyphen.
For example, here is how you could cite a book using MLA format:
Smith, John. Title of Book. Edited by Mary Johnson, Publisher, 2019.
And here is a citation for an article from a website:
Doe, Jane. "Title of Article." Title of Website, Publisher, Date of Access.
