MLA FORMATTING In-Text Citations

BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES In MLA style, referring to the works of others in your text is done by using what is known as parenthetical citation. This method involves placing relevant source information in parentheses after a quote or a paraphrase.

GENERAL GUIDELINES: IN-TEXT CITATIONS  The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1.) upon the source medium (e.g. Print, Web, DVD) and (2.) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited (bibliography) page.  Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text, must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry in the Works Cited List.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE  Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263).

AUTHOR-PAGE METHOD OF IN-TEXT CITATION  MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author's name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence.

EXAMPLE IN-TEXT CITATIONS  Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263).  Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263). Both citations in the examples above tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information: Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. London: Oxford UP, Print.
