7. In Text Citations

8. Formatting Alphabetical order. Don't number or use bullets. Hanging indention. Meaning the first line is flush with the margin and all subsequent lines are indented. Remember the correct punctuation. Each citation uses periods, colons and commas...know where each goes. Always double spaced. Always. Since computers are easily accessible today, underlining has been replaced by italics. Your parenthetical citations MUST MATCH the beginning of your MLA documentation. For example: the parenthetical citation (Callenbach 56) easily matches the documentation of Callenbach, Ernest. Ecotopia. New York: Bantam Books, 1975. Print.

9. Parenthetical Citations: Close quotations BEFORE the citation. Conclude with punctuation AFTER the citation. The citation comes as the END of the sentence, not immediately after the piece of evidence. (Though socially and academically accepted at times, it is not in compliance with MLA standards if not at the end of the sentence.) Always start with author's last name and page number. Period. That's all you need. No p. or pg. No comma. Two authors? Like Inherit the Wind? Easy. (Lawrence and Lee 89). What if you used two pieces of evidence in that sentence? Still easy. (Brown 17; Jones 4549). If no author, use the first real word of the title (Appearance) or ("Appearance") depending on publication. The author's name can be referred to within the sentence...O'Rourke argues this point (45).
