How to Cite Your Work
The Modern Language Association (MLA) Style is used for identifying research sources. In MLA Style you briefly credit your sources with citations in the text of your paper and then give the complete descripton of each source in your Works Cited list, or bibliography. Your bibliography lists all the sources used in your paper and is arranged alphabetically by the authors last name, or if there is no author, then by the first word of the title.

Another way of citing your sources is the American Psychological Association (APA) Style. The APA Style is usually used for research papers written for the social sciences, and the format of the citations is different than that of MLA style.Click on the link below to see examples of how to cite various works using the APA Style.
