What is an MLA Citation?
MLA is a style guide for citations from the Modern Language Association (MLA).
Citation style guides show you what information to include in each citation and how to organize your list of citations.
MLA citation style is primarily used for research papers in English classes although some instructors in other subject areas also use MLA.
