2 Overview MLA referencing is widely used in humanities disciplines such as English and foreign languages and literature, and cultural studies. MLA referencing uses a brief parenthetical citation typically, the author and page number but not the date and a works cited list at the end of the document. Please note that British/Australian English punctuation is used throughout this guide. The rules for punctuation in American English are slightly different. Many Australian universities, but certainly not all, prefer that you adapt American referencing styles to adhere to British/Australian rules of punctuation. If you are not sure what your university or department prefers, ask your tutor or supervisor. Referencing correctly according to a particular style (whether that be APA, MLA, IEEE or any other style) involves presenting the publication information required exactly in the way proscribed by the style. This means knowing which publication information is required, how and where it should appear in the reference, what punctuation is necessary and where this should be placed. Thus, when formatting your references/in-text citations to a particular style and reviewing example references/in-text citations, pay close attention to the order of information, how each detail is displayed, and the punctuation used and where this is placed (i.e., whether publication titles should be placed within quotation marks [if so, are they single or double?], italicised, have a capital letter for all the main words in the title or just the initial word, and so forth). In-text citations: General notes An in-text citation in MLA style includes only enough information to enable readers to find the source in the list of works cited. The publication date is omitted. If the author s name (or title of the work, if that is how the source is listed) is mentioned in the text and you are referring to the entire text, you do not need to include a parenthetical citation. If the author s name (or the title) is mentioned in the text, but you are referring to a specific passage of the text, only the page number(s) should appear in the parenthetical citation. Placement of in-text references Place the parenthetical citation where a pause would naturally occur (preferably at the end of a sentence), but as near as possible to the material documented. Martin argues that it is important to learn how to reference correctly (78). The director of Editex argues that correct references are important (Lines 78). editex.com

3 Providing page numbers Page numbers should be provided for direct quotations and when paraphrasing or referring to an idea in another work. The page number for a direct quotation is contained within a separate in-text reference immediately after the direct quotation if the author s name is mentioned in the sentence. For example: Orsini argues that it is important to learn how to reference correctly (78). If the author s name has not been mentioned, it would look like this: If the author s name is mentioned but his or her ideas are paraphrased rather than quoted directly, the page number is placed where a pause would naturally occur (preferably at the end of a sentence), but as near as possible to the material documented. Orsini argued that correct referencing is important (78). Citing multiple sources Multiple sources cited within parentheses are separated by a semi-colon and must be presented in alphabetical order. For example: (Jackson; Tremlett) However, long parenthetical references should be avoided in MLA. To avoid excessive disruption, cite multiple sources in a footnote instead. Secondary citations Secondary sources should only be used when the original source is not freely available (for example, not available in English or out of print). The original text should be cited as follows: Watkin Tench (qtd. in Smith) Citing works by the same author If an author has multiple publications in the list of works cited, include the title (if brief) or a shortened version in the parenthetical citation. For example: (Bajatierra, Cronícas 14) If the author s name appears in the text, include only the title (and page number if necessary) in the parenthetical reference. editex.com

4 Citing works by authors with the same surname When citing works by different authors with the same surname, their first initials must be used to distinguish between them, even if the years of publication are different. For example: (R. Carr; E. H. Carr) Citing quotations In shorter quotations, the author s name should precede the quotation, and the page number should be listed at the end. For example: Orsini argues that it is important to learn how to reference correctly (78). Quotations that extend for more than four lines when they are run into the text should be formatted as block quotations. The citation can be formatted in a manner similar to the above, with the closing punctuation for the block quotation appearing before the page number. For example: Pérez Collado explained the following: Footnotes The group that went, we went as a man. We went, not as soldiers, because we did not consider ourselves to be soldiers, but as a group. And I tell you, there were ten of us, as we considered that there were ten of us, nine men and a woman! (p. 57) Two kinds of footnotes may be used in MLA: Content notes provide comment, explanation or information that the text cannot accommodate. They should only be used if they provide essential justification or clarification of what you have written, for example, to give full publication facts for an original source for which you have cited a secondary source or to explain why you worked from secondary material. Bibliographic notes are used for references containing several sources or for evaluative comments on sources. editex.com

6 Authors with the same surname E. H. Carr famously said (R. Carr; E. H. Carr) Film or documentary Last Train (Last Train) Australian Bureau of Australian House of Representatives (Australia, House of Representatives ) Statistics statistics Notes: a If you are citing a commonly studied prose work that is available in several editions, add the chapter number or any other identifying information you can. In citing commonly studied verse plays and poems, omit page numbers and cite by division (act, scene, canto, book, part) and line) separated by full stops. If you are citing only line numbers, use the word line or lines for the first citation only. For unpaginated sources, use the chapter number or similar designation. b The full title (if brief) or a shortened version is used unless the title appears in your text. c It is better to use a long name in the text, but if you give the name in a parenthetical citation, shorten terms that are commonly abbreviated. d If an author has multiple publications in the list of works cited, include the title (if brief) or a shortened version in the parenthetical citation. editex.com

7 Reference list: General notes Format Use the title Works Cited List, rather than References or Bibliography, and centre it above the list. The list should be double spaced and unjustified at the right margin, with a hanging indent of 1.27 cm. There should not be a line space between entries. For example: Hogan, James P, dir. 1937). The Last Train from Madrid. Ashfault s Classic Movies, DVD. Low, Mary, and Juan Breà. Red Spanish Notebook: The First Six Months of the Revolution and the Civil War. London: Purnell, Print. Radosh, Ronald, Mary R. Habeck and Grigory Sevostianov, G. Spain Betrayed: The Soviet Union in the Spanish Civil War. New Haven: Yale UP, Print. Capitalisation For all titles in the works cited list, capitalise the first word, the last word and all principal words, including those that follow hyphens in compound terms. Principal words include nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and subordinating conjunctions (after, although, as if, as soon as, because, before, if, that, unless, until, when, where, while). When they fall in the middle of a title, do not capitalise articles (a, an, the), prepositions (e.g., against, as, between, in, of, to), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet) or the to in infinitives. When capitalising titles in languages other than English, follow the specific capitalisation rules of that language. Order of entries Works cited must be ordered alphabetically. To cite two or more works by the same author, give the name in the first entry only. After that, use three hyphens followed by a full stop and the title of the work. The works listed under the same name are alphabetised by title. If the person named edited, translated or compiled the work, place a comma after the three hyphens and include the appropriate abbreviation (ed., trans. or comp.). editex.com

8 Preston, Paul. Juan Carlos: A People s King. London: HarperCollins, Print Juan Carlos: Steering Spain from Dictatorship to Democracy. London: Norton, Print. If two or more entries cite co-authors that have the same name, alphabetise by the last names of the second authors listed. If the author s name is unknown, alphabetise by title, ignoring any initial A, An or The. Subdivisions If you wish, your list of works cited may be subdivided into primary and secondary sources, or into different research media or genres, or it may be arranged by subject matter, period or area. Authors names Give the author s name exactly as it appears in the publication (for a book, refer to the title page; for a journal article, refer to the beginning or end of the article) but reverse it for alphabetising and add a comma after the last name. Only use initials for the first name if the publication uses initials. For works with multiple authors, reverse only the first author s name, then add a comma and present the other names in normal order. Radosh, Ronald, Mary R. Habeck and Grigory Sevostianov. Spain Betrayed: The Soviet Union in the Spanish Civil War. New Haven: Yale UP, Print. When an author is an organisation, omit any initial article and do not abbreviate its name. United Nations Security Council. 49th Sess. The Spanish Question. Res 1946/7. 26 June United Nations. Web. 28 Oct Place of publication If several cities are named, give only the first. It is not necessary to identify a state, province or country after the city name. Publisher s name You only need to give enough information about a publisher to enable readers to find the full name of the publisher themselves. Use shortened forms that omit articles (A, An, The), business abbreviations (Co., Corp., Inc., Ltd.) and descriptive words (Books, House, Press, Publishers). If it includes the name of one person (e.g. W.W. Norton or John Wiley), cite the surname only (Norton, Wiley). If it includes the names of more than one person (e.g. McGraw-Hill), cite only the first surname (McGraw). Use standard abbreviations (Acad., editex.com

9 Assn., Soc., UP) wherever possible. If a publisher s name is commonly abbreviated as an initialism that is likely to be familiar to your readers (e.g. MLA), use the initialism. Other kinds of source lists The Works Cited List contains all the sources that you cited in your text. Titles for other kinds of source list include: Annotated Bibliography or Annotated List of Works Cited for a list that contains descriptive or evaluative comments on the sources Works Consulted for a list that is not confined to the works cited in the document Selected Bibliography, Selected List of Works Consulted or Suggestions for Further Reading for a list that suggests readings. Reference list: Examples Periodicals Follow the same citation rules for journal articles by two or three authors, and four or more authors, as you would for books by these numbers of authors.
