MLA Citations

The MLA (Modern Language Association) citation method is most commonly used in the liberal arts and the humanities. Below is an example of how to cite an article from a scholarly journal that came from one of the library databases. You can find more examples of how to cite using MLA at the Purdue Online Writing Lab or at the library, or you can ask a librarian for help.

Author(s). "Title of Article." Title of Journal, Volume, Issue, Year, pages.

Bagchi, Alaknanda. "Conflicting Nationalisms: The Voice of the Subaltern in Mahasweta Devi's Bashai Tudu." Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature, vol. 15, no. 1, 1996, pp. 41-50.

Duvall, John N. "The (Super)Marketplace of Images: Television as Unmediated Mediation in DeLillo's White Noise." Arizona Quarterly, vol. 50, no. 3, 1994, pp. 127-53.

Note: If the citation takes up more than just 1 line, then you will indent any subsequent lines. Due to the restrictions of this research guide, indentions do not work because of dynamic formatting.
