About this mla citation generator
MLA 9 organizes a works cited entry around containers: the piece you are citing sits inside something larger, an article inside a journal, a page inside a website, and the container is what takes the italics while the piece itself takes quotation marks. Author handling differs from APA in a way that trips people up: with two authors MLA writes them out joined by the word and, with the second name in normal order, and with three or more it names the first author followed by et al. rather than listing everyone. URLs conventionally drop the http and https prefix. An accessed date is optional and worth adding when the page has no clear publication date. This generator applies those rules to what you enter, in your browser, with nothing sent anywhere.
