MLA Handbook

The MLA Handbook is a guide published by the Modern Language Association that helps students, researchers, and writers properly cite sources in their work. It provides rules for formatting papers, organizing content, and creating a Works Cited page that lists sources. This ensures that writers give credit to original authors and avoid plagiarism, while also making it easier for readers to find the referenced materials. The handbook is widely used in humanities disciplines, particularly in writing about literature, language, and culture. Overall, it promotes clarity and consistency in scholarly writing.
