MLA Works Cited Page Basic information for internet-based sources: • This will be the last page of your entire paper and it must be on a separate sheet from your research paper. • Your last name and page # will be top right-justified. • The title Works Cited will be centered below that. • All sources will be in alphabetical order with hanging indents. • Do not add the URL, only the domain name. • Example: StarTribune.com http://www. startribune.com The look (note: only use the info available – otherwise leave blank): Author name (last, first). “Article title”. Web site.com. Publishing company, posting date. Web. Date you accessed material. Hanging indent!

  2. MLA In-Text Citation • “In-Text Citation” = citing a source within your paper • Why do I have to do this? • You must always cite the sources you use when writing any sort of paper – especially one where you’ve done research. • Not citing your sources when you give information is plagiarism. You’ll be lucky to earn anything above an F if you plagiarize someone’s work! • How do I properly cite sources within the paper? (1) • After presenting sourced information, mention the source in parenthesis () after the quote but before the sentence’s ending punctuation mark. • Use a signal phrase*.

  4. MLA In-Text Citation, cont. How do I properly cite sources within the paper? (2) • Include in the text the first item that appears in the Works Cited entry that corresponds to the citation (i.e. author name, article name, website name, etc.). • Example: Skippy Super Chunk peanut butter was first introduced in 1973 (PeanutButter.com). • If you are writing a signal phrase, only provide partial URLs such as when the name of the site includes a domain name, like CNN.com or Forbes.cominstead of writing out http://www.cnn.com or http://www.forbes.com.
