MLA style requires two types of citations:
In-text citation – a brief citation in your paper's body every time you use material from outside sources, including the following elements:
- the author's surname(s) or the group name
- the page number
Works Cited list – an alphabetical list at the end of your paper that includes a full citation for each source you cited in your paper. Every citation in your list should have a corresponding in-text citation in the body of your work.
