1 APPENDIX A Brief Documentation Guide for MLA In college, it is particularly important that writers let readers know which words or ideas were borrowed and from where. Known as documentation, this identification process properly and clearly indicates the use of other people s words and ideas. Improper or incomplete documentation can lead to plagiarism, a serious offense normally considered a form of cheating or fraud. When writers document sources, they must follow specific rules for citing the research materials they use. This brief guide provides the basic rules of what is called the MLA (Modern Language Association) system of documentation, which is the most common system for composition courses. This guide is not intended to cover all possible types of sources you might use, just some of the more common ones. For more information on correctly using other people s ideas, see Lessons 37 and 38, or go to Research and Documentation Online at hackerhandbooks.com/resdoc. MLA Format for In-Text Citations Provide an in-text citation every time you quote, paraphrase, or summarize a source (see Lesson 37). Your citation, which usually includes both source and page number, should appear after sentences that refer to a source. Follow the models below for examples. ONE AUTHOR Every day, around thirty-four new food products alone are introduced. The dizzying array of new items reflects a microsplitting of problems to create more must-have new solutions (Hammerslough 14). Hammerslough points out that [e]very day, around thirty-four new food products alone are introduced. The dizzying array of new items reflects a micro-splitting of problems to create more must-have new solutions (14). TWO OR THREE AUTHORS More than 90 percent of the hazardous waste produced in the United States comes from seven major industries, all energy-intensive (Romm and Curtis 70). 431

CORPORATE AUTHOR OR GOVERNMENT PUBLICATION Physical activity has been shown to protect against certain forms of cancer either by balancing caloric intake with energy expenditure or by other mechanisms (American Cancer Society 43). UNKNOWN AUTHOR According to a recent study, drivers are 42 percent more likely to get into an accident if they are using a wireless phone while driving ( Driving Dangerously 32). Religious Work Consider the words of Solomon: If your enemies are hungry, give them bread to eat; and if they are thirsty, give them water to drink (New Revised Standard Bible, Prov ). SOURCE WITHOUT PAGE NUMBERS There is no definitive correlation between benign breast tumors and breast cancer (Pratt). INDIRECT SOURCE In discussing the baby mania trend, Time writers claimed, Career women are opting for pregnancy and they are doing it in style (qtd. in Faludi 106). MLA Format for a List of Works Cited At the end of your paper, you must provide a list of the sources from which you quoted, paraphrased, or summarized. Put the entire list in alphabetical order using the author s last name first and the title as it appears on the title page of the source. If your source has no author, alphabetize it by the first main word of the title. Double-space your Works Cited page. Begin each entry at the left margin and indent the subsequent lines five spaces.
