Frequently Asked Questions About MLA Citation Generator

What is MLA style?

MLA style is a formatting and citation standard created by the Modern Language Association, primarily used in the humanities, literature, and art fields.

How do I format an in-text citation in MLA?

MLA in-text citations use parenthetical references consisting of the author's last name and the page number (e.g. Smith 45). Unlike APA, there is no comma between the name and page, and no "p." abbreviation.
