Check out the basics for both IN-TEXT and WORKS CITED citations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Works Cited Format
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Works Cited<\/strong> give all the publishing information so someone else can find the text. In MLA, online sources need an access date and a full URL minus the http designation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For order of information and whether to use abbreviations, lower case, https etc., please look at the example below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In-Text Citations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In-text Citations<\/strong> require the author and the page number (with no “p”) and no comma. The period of the sentence goes AFTER the citation. E.g. (Jones 257)<\/strong>. Two authors: (Smith and Jones 257)<\/strong> and three or more: (Smith et al. 257)<\/strong>. No authors or page (“How to”)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How and where to place In-Text Citations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As an introductory phrase:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Friedman (2005), international trade barriers will have mostly disappeared in the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friedman said that professionals “better be good at … touchy-feely service” (14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of general summary (no page needed):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 21st<\/sup> Century is characterized by the “flat world” in which barriers among countries, communities, and citizens no longer exist or are flattened.  As a result, professionals must prepare for the threat of outsourcing (Friedman).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of a quote even within a sentence (page needed)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since factories are easy to outsource abroad, American workers should prepare to work in the service industry by developing soft skills (Friedman 14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Block quote (more than 4 lines):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
