Modern Language Association (MLA) Handbook

The Modern Language Association (MLA) Handbook is a guide that provides standardized rules for writing and documenting sources used in academic papers, especially in the humanities. It helps writers cite books, articles, and other resources consistently, ensuring clarity and giving proper credit to original authors. The guide also offers instructions on formatting papers, such as margins, font, and headings. By following MLA standards, writers can present their work professionally and avoid plagiarism. It is widely used by students, scholars, and educators to maintain uniformity in academic writing.
