PARENTHETICAL DOCUMENTATION
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.
SAMPLES:
Human beings have been described as "symbol-using animals" (Burke 3).
When a source has no known author, use a shortened title of the work instead of an author name.
Place the title in quotation marks if it's a short work (e.g. articles) or underline it if it's a longer work (e.g. plays,
books, television shows, entire websites) and provide a page number.
SAMPLES:
We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely because this region has “more readily
accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change . . . ” (“Impact
of Global Warming” 6).
SHORT
QUOTATIONS
To indicate short quotations (fewer than four typed lines of prose or three lines of verse) in
your text, enclose the quotation within double quotation marks. Provide the author and specific page citation (in the case
of verse, provide line numbers) in the text.
LONG QUOTATIONS
For quotations that extend to more than four lines of verse or prose: place quotations in a free-standing
block of text and omit quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new line, with the entire quote indented one
inch from the left margin; maintain double-spacing. Only indent the first line of the quotation by a half inch if you
are citing multiple paragraphs. Your parenthetical citation should come after the closing
punctuation mark. When quoting verse, maintain original line breaks.
ADDING OR
OMITTING WORDS
If you add a word or words in a quotation, you should put brackets around the words to indicate
that they are not part of the original text.
If you omit a word or words from a quotation, you should indicate the deleted word or words by
using ellipsis marks, which are three periods ( . . . ) preceded and followed by a space.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
The text of your paper: Double-space and use a legible font: Times New Roman or Arial, and use
a standard font size: 12 pt. or 10 pt.
Number each page in upper right hand corner: use your
last name followed by the number of the page
See format for first page of Research Page (First
Page is different.) - No Title Page
