How do you cite a source in MLA format (1point)
To cite a source in MLA format, you need to include two main components: in-text citations and a corresponding Works Cited page.
In-text citations are brief references within the text of your paper that direct the reader to the full bibliographic information at the end. They usually include the author's last name and the page number of the source. For example: (Smith 45).
The Works Cited page is a list of all the sources you used in your research. It should be placed at the end of your paper and include the full bibliographic information of each source. The general format for different types of sources on a Works Cited page includes the following:
1. Books:
Author's Last Name, First Name. Title of Book. Publisher, Year.
2. Articles:
Author's Last Name, First Name. "Title of Article." Title of Journal or Magazine, vol. Volume number, no. Issue number, Year, page range.
3. Websites:
Author's Last Name, First Name (if available). "Title of Web Page or Article." Title of Website, Publisher or Sponsor of Site (if available), publication date or the date of the last update, URL (without http://).
These are just general examples, and there are specific rules for each type of source (books, articles, websites, etc.). It is important to refer to the official MLA handbook or a reliable online resource for specific details and examples that correspond to the type of source you are citing.
