Presentation transcript:

How to add in-text citations and how to cite your authors

* 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.

* For example: * Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263). Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263). * Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

* Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), 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 U.P., Print.

* The Works Cited page is always titled: Works Cited * The title is NOT underlined, emboldened, a different font or italicized * The Works Cited page is always double-spaced. * The Works Cited page is alphabetical * The Works Cited page is NOT numbered * The Works Cited page is always the last page of your paper. * The Works Cited page must have your numbered header in the upper right hand corner like the rest of your paper.
