Citing Your Sources
Citation is the act of identifying sources. Any time you use anyone else's thoughts or language in papers, projects, or reports, you must create a citation to credit that person's authorship.
Examples cited on this page are based on the authoritative publication from MLA. If the example you want is not included here, please consult the MLA Handbook.
