About MLA Style
MLA is an international citation style developed by the US-based organisation Modern Language Association. The style provides recommendations on formatting the text of a publication (font, indents, etc.) and on referencing sources in a list of works cited.
Many international scientific journals and universities are using MLA Style as a recommended standard for referencing sources in scientific publications.
The website "Grafiati" allows generating references in conformity with the eighth – most recent – edition of the MLA Manual.
General rules of referencing
Citing sources in MLA is quite flexible: having memorised the basic format of a bibliographic reference, you can easily apply it to any type of source. The general order of elements in a bibliographic reference is the following:
- Author (individual or group).
- Publication title.
- Container title (title of the anthology, website, database, etc. where the work is published).
- Editors, translators, and other contributors.
- Version (edition number, etc.).
- Number (volume, issue, etc.).
- Publisher.
- Publication date.
- Location (particular range of pages, URL, etc.).
The number of elements can be either smaller or greater depending on the type of source.
