MLA Style is the default in many literature-related fields.
The Modern Language Association publishes two authoritative explanations of MLA style: the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing.
Most article databases have an automatic citation feature that will format your citation. After finding an article a database, look for the yellow icon on the right side of the screen.
Be sure to proofread the citation for style errors before copying and pasting into your bibliography.
