2018-2019 MLA Citation Guide | Pinkerton Academy

Documenting sources in MLA style

In English and other classes, you will be asked to use the MLA (Modern Language Association) system for documenting

sources. The guidelines in this booklet follow those set forth in the MLA Handbook 8th edition (MLA, 2016). MLA

recommends in-text citations that refer readers to a list of works cited. An in-text citation names the author of the source,

often in a signal phrase, and gives the page number in parentheses without “p.” (one page) or “pp” (more than one page).

At the end of the paper, a list of works cited provides publication information about the source; the list is alphabetized by

authors’ last names (or by titles for works without authors). In the works cited page, indicate a page number with “p.” and

a range of pages with “pp.”

IN-TEXT CITATION

Jay Kesan notes that even though many companies now routinely monitor employees through electronic means,

“there may exist less intrusive safeguards for employers” (293).

MLA list of works cited

An alphabetized list of works cited, which appears at the end of your research paper, gives publication information for

each of the sources you have cited in the paper. Unless your instructor asks for them in a list of works referenced, omit

sources not actually cited in the paper, even if you read them.

Alphabetize entries in the list of works cited by authors’ last names (if a work has no author, alphabetize it by its title).

The author’s name is important because citations in the text of the paper refer to it and readers will be looking for it at the

beginning of an entry in the alphabetized list.

The MLA 8

edition recommends one set of guidelines that applies to all source types, with appropriate punctuation; see

below. Note the new term, container, meaning the place where a source lives.

Containers

The MLA now uses the term container to denote a

larger whole of which the documented source forms a

part.

A container can be nested in a larger container. Documenting all containers in which sources are found is important. Your

reader needs to know where you found your sources since one copy of a work may differ from other copies. Below are

some examples showing how to construct entries made up of two containers, using the core elements template.

Italicized Set in quotation marks

books films television series article in a periodical essay

Web sites databases periodicals posting or article on a Web site short story

plays (journal, magazine, episode of a television series poems and songs

newspaper)

Items 1–5 below show how to begin an entry for a work with a single author, multiple authors, a corporate author, an

unknown author, and multiple works by the same author.

1. SINGLE AUTHOR For a work with one author, begin with the author’s last name, followed by a comma; then

give the author’s first name, followed by a period.

Tannen, Deborah.

2. MULTIPLE AUTHORS For works with two, name the authors in the order in which they are listed in the

source. Reverse the name of only the first author.

Walker, Janice R., and Todd Taylor.

For a work with three authors, name the first author followed by et al. (Latin for and others).

Wilmut, Ian, et al.

3. CORPORATE AUTHOR When the author of a print document or a Web site is a corporation, a government

agency, or some other organization, begin your entry with the name of the group.

First Union.

United States. Bureau of the Census.

American Management Association.

Make sure that your in-text citation also treats the organization as the author.

4. UNKNOWN AUTHOR When the author of a work is unknown, begin with the work’s title. Titles of articles

and other short works, such as brief documents from Web sites, are put in quotation marks. Titles of books and

other long works, such as entire Web sites, are italicized.

Article or other short work “Media Giants.”

Book or other long work Atlas of the World.

Before concluding that the author of a Web source is unknown, check carefully. Also remember that an

organization may be the author (see item 3 above).

5. TWO OR MORE WORKS BY THE SAME AUTHOR If your list of works cited includes two or more works

by the same author, use the author’s name only for the first entry. For other entries, use three hyphens followed by

a period. The three hyphens must stand for exactly the same name or names as in the first entry. List the titles in

alphabetical order (ignoring the article A, An, or The at the beginning of a title).

MLA in-text citations

MLA in-text citations are made with a combination of signal phrases and parenthetical references. A signal phrase

introduces information taken from a source (a quotation, summary, paraphrase, or fact); sometimes the signal phrase

includes the author’s name. The parenthetical reference, which comes after the cited material, normally includes at least a

page number (with no “p.” or “pp.” as you would use on the works cited page). Note the difference between citing a

source whose author is included in the sentence and one whose author is not.

IN-TEXT CITATION

Kwon points out that the Fourth Amendment does not give employees any protections from employers’

“unreasonable searches and seizures” (6).

The Fourth Amendment does not give employees any protections from employers’ “unreasonable searches and

seizures” (Kwon 6).

Readers can look up the author’s last name in the alphabetized list of works cited, where they will learn the work’s title

and other publication information. If readers decide to consult the source, the page number will take them straight to the

passage that has been cited. Other rules determine how to cite a source from an author who has more than one work in the

list of works cited.

Basic rules for sources

1. AUTHOR NAMED IN A SIGNAL PHRASE Ordinarily, introduce the material being cited with a signal

phrase that includes the author’s name. In addition to preparing readers for the source, the signal phrase allows you

to keep the parenthetical citation brief.

Frederick Lane reports that employers do not necessarily have to use software to monitor how their employees

use the Web: employers can “use a hidden video camera pointed at an employee’s monitor and even position a

camera so that a number of monitors [can] be viewed at the same time” (147).

The signal phrase—Frederick Lane reports that—names the author; the parenthetical citation gives the page

number of the book in which the quoted words may be found. Notice that the period follows the parenthetical

citation. When a quotation ends with a question mark or an exclamation point, leave the end punctuation inside the

quotation mark and add a period after the parentheses: “. . . ?” (8).

2. AUTHOR NAMED IN PARENTHESES If a signal phrase does not name the author, put the author’s last name

in parentheses along with the page number.

Companies can monitor employees’ every keystroke without legal penalty, but they may have to combat low

morale as a result (Lane 129).

Use no punctuation between the name and the page number.

3. AUTHOR UNKNOWN Either use the complete title if not longer than a noun phrase in a signal phrase or use a

short form of the title in parentheses. Titles of books are italicized; titles of articles are put in quotation marks.

A popular keystroke logging program operates invisibly on workers’ computers yet provides supervisors with

details of the workers’ online activities (“Automatically”).

NOTE: Often the author’s name is available but is not easy to find. For example, it may appear at the end of the

source, in tiny print. Or it may appear on another page of the site, such as the home page. If a source has no author

and is sponsored by a corporate entity, such as an organization or a government agency, name the corporate entity

as the author.

4. PAGE NUMBER UNKNOWN You may omit the page number if a work lacks page numbers, as is the case

with many Web sources. Although printouts from websites usually show page numbers, printers don’t always

provide the same page breaks; for this reason, MLA recommends treating such sources as unpaginated in the in-

text citation. (When the pages of a Web source are stable, as in PDF files, supply a page number in your in-text

citation.)

As a 2005 study by Salary.com and America Online indicates, the Internet ranked as the top choice among

employees for ways of wasting time on the job; it beat talking with co-workers—the second most popular

method--by a margin of nearly two to one (Frauenheim).

If a source has numbered paragraphs, sections, or screens, use par. (or pars.), sec. (or secs.”), or “screen” (or

“screens”) in the parentheses: (Smith, par. 4). Note that a comma follows the author’s name.

5. TWO OR MORE TITLES BY THE SAME AUTHOR If your list of works cited includes two or more titles

by the same author, mention the title of the work in the signal phrase or include a short version of the title in the

parentheses.

The American Management Association and ePolicy Institute’s 2003 survey found that one-third of companies

had a policy of keeping and reviewing employees’ e-mail messages (“2003 E-mail” 2); in 2005, more than 55%

of companies engaged in e-mail monitoring (“2005 Electronic” 1).

Titles of articles and other short works are placed in quotation marks, as in the example just given. Titles of books

are italicized. In the rare case when both the author’s name and a short title must be given in parentheses, separate

them with a comma.

A 2004 survey found that 20% of employers responding had employees’ e-mail “subpoenaed in the course of a

lawsuit or regulatory investigation,” up 7% from the previous year (Amer. Management Assn. and ePolicy Inst.,

“2004 Workplace” 1).

6. MULTIPLE AUTHORS For two authors, name the authors in a signal phrase, as in the following example, or

include their last names in the parenthetical reference: (Kizza and Ssanyu 2).

Kizza and Ssanyu note that “employee monitoring is a dependable, capable, and very affordable process of

electronically or otherwise recording all employee activities at work and also increasingly outside the

workplace” (2).

When three or more authors are named in the parentheses, use the first author’s name followed by et al. (Latin for

“and others”). This format also must be used for the works cited list, but use a comma before et al.

The study was extended for two years, and only after results were reviewed by an independent panel did the

researchers publish their findings (Blaine et al. 35).

7. CORPORATE AUTHOR When the author is a corporation, an organization, or a government agency, name the

corporate author either in the signal phrase or in the parentheses.

According to a 2001 survey of human resources managers by the American Management Association, more

than three-quarters of the responding companies reported disciplining employees for “misuse or personal use of

office telecommunications equipment” (2).

In the list of works cited, the American Management Association is treated as the author and alphabetized under A.

When a government agency is treated as the author, it will be alphabetized in the list of works cited under the name

of the government, such as United States. For this reason, you must name the government in your in-text citation.

The United States Department of Transportation provides nationwide statistics on traffic fatalities.

8. AUTHORS WITH THE SAME LAST NAME If your list of works cited includes works by two or more

authors with the same last name, include the author’s first name in the signal phrase or first initial in the

parentheses.

Estimates of the frequency with which employers monitor employees’ use of the Internet each day vary widely

(A. Jones 15).

9. INDIRECT SOURCE (SOURCE QUOTED IN ANOTHER SOURCE) When a writer’s or a speaker’s quoted

words appear in a source written by someone else, begin the parenthetical citation with the abbreviation qtd. in.

Researchers Botan and McCreadie point out that “workers are objects of information collection without

participating in the process of exchanging the information . . .” (qtd. in Kizza and Ssanyu 14).

10. ENCYCLOPEDIA OR DICTIONARY Unless an encyclopedia or a dictionary has an author, it will be

alphabetized in the list of works cited under the word or entry that you consulted— not under the title of the

reference work itself. Either in your text or in your parenthetical reference, mention the word or the entry. No page

number is required, since readers can easily look up the word or entry.

The word crocodile has a surprisingly complex etymology (“Crocodile”).

11. MULTIVOLUME WORK If your paper cites more than one volume of a multivolume work, indicate in the

parentheses the volume you are referring to, followed by a colon and the page number. Use neither volume and

page nor their abbreviations.

In his studies of gifted children, the author describes a pattern of accelerated language acquisition (Terman 2:

279).

If your paper cites only one volume of a multivolume work, you will include the volume number in the list of

works cited and will not need to include it in the parentheses.

12. AN ENTIRE WORK Use the author’s name in a signal phrase or a parenthetical reference. There is of course

no need to use a page number.

Lane explores the evolution of surveillance in the workplace.

13. WORK IN AN ANTHOLOGY Put the name of the author of the work (not the editor of the anthology) in the

signal phrase or the parentheses.

In “A Jury of Her Peers,” Mrs. Hale describes both a style of quilting and a murder weapon when she utters the

last words of the story: “We call it--knot it, Mr. Henderson” (Glaspell 210).

In the list of works cited, the work is alphabetized under Glaspell, not under the name of the editor of the

anthology.

Glaspell, Susan. “A Jury of Her Peers.” Literature and Its Writers: A Compact Introduction to Fiction, Poetry,

and Drama. Edited by Ann Charters and Samuel Charters, 3rd ed, Bedford, 2004, pp. 194-210.

14. LEGAL SOURCE For well-known historical documents, such as the United States Constitution or Declaration

of Independence, provide the document title, abbreviated and neither italicized nor in quotation marks, along with

relevant article and section numbers: (US Const., art. 1, sec. 2). It is not necessary to provide a works cited entry.

15. NUMBERS IN LITERARY WORKS AVAILABLE IN MULTIPLE EDITIONS Many literary works, such

as most short stories and many novels and plays, do not have parts or line numbers that you can refer to, or are

available in multiple editions. In such cases, it is helpful to cite the division number in addition to, or instead of,

the page number.

MODERN PROSE WORKS, SUCH AS A NOVEL OR PLAY IN PROSE Give the page number first, add a

semicolon, and then give other identifying information, using appropriate abbreviations: “(130; ch. 9),” “271; book

4, ch. 2.”

VERSE PLAYS AND POEMS For verse plays, MLA recommends omitting page numbers and citing the

division (act, scene, canto, book, part) and line numbers that can be located in any edition of the work. Use Arabic

numerals, and separate the numbers with periods. If citing only line numbers in poems that are not divided into

parts, in your first citation, use the word line (lines 5-8) or lines : (12-13) and after that only the numbers.

Shakespearean references typically use a combination of Roman and Arabic numerals.

Gloucester, blinded for suspected treason, learns a profound lesson from his tragic experience: “A man may see

how this world goes / with no eyes” (Shakespeare, King Lear IV.ii.148-49).

For a poem, cite the part (if there are a number of parts) and the line numbers, separated by a period.

When Odysseus comes to the hall of Circe, he finds his men “mild / in her soft spell, fed on her drug of evil”

(Homer 10.209-10).

16. SACRED TEXTS When citing a sacred text such as the Bible or the Qur’an, name the edition you are using in

your works cited entry. In your parenthetical citation, give the book, chapter, and verse (or their equivalent),

separated by periods or colons, if biblical. Common abbreviations for books of the Bible are acceptable.

Consider the words of Solomon: “If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give

them water to drink” (Holy Bible, Prov. 25:21).

17. E-reader When citing text in an e-reader, if the work is divided into stable numbered sections like chapters, cite

the numbers of those sections and identify the type of part that is numbered.

According to Hazel Rowley, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt began their honeymoon with a week’s stay at

Hyde Park (ch. 2).

A sample works cited page follows. Notice that it follows the MLA format not only for citation but also

manuscript form: one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 point font, double spaced.
