The MLA style is widely used for identifying research sources. In MLA style you briefly credit sources with parenthetical citations in the text of your paper, and give the complete description of each source in your Works Cited list. The Works Cited list, or Bibliography, is a list of all the sources used in your paper, arranged alphabetically by author\u2019s last name, or when there is no author, by the first word of the title (except A, An<\/em> or The<\/em>).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For example:
\n<\/span><\/span>In the text of your paper;
\n<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
