MLA style

MLA style is a set of guidelines developed by the Modern Language Association for formatting academic papers and citing sources in the humanities. It ensures consistency, clarity, and proper credit for original ideas and research. In MLA style, you organize your paper with specific formatting, include in-text citations that reference a detailed Works Cited page, and follow rules for margins, font, and headings. This system helps readers easily identify and verify sources, promoting academic integrity and a professional appearance in writing.
