The MLA (Modern Language Association)

The Modern Language Association (MLA) is an organization that focuses on language and literature studies. It is known for creating a widely used style guide that helps people in academia properly format their writing, cite sources, and present research clearly. The MLA format is commonly used in the humanities, especially in English and foreign language studies. It provides guidelines for elements like in-text citations, Works Cited pages, and overall document formatting, ensuring that academic work is consistent and professional.
