MLA Style, or the Modern Language Association style, is a standardized format for writing and citing sources in academic papers, particularly in the humanities. It provides guidelines for structuring documents, including font type, size, margins, and line spacing, ensuring consistency and clarity in scholarly writing. In MLA Style, in-text citations and a Works Cited page are essential for acknowledging sources. In-text citations typically include the author's last name and page number, while the Works Cited page lists all referenced works in a specific format. This system helps readers locate the original sources and supports academic integrity.
