Tip: Check out this sample paper to find out what an essay in the MLA style looks like.
The examples found in the MLA section are based on the manual MLA Handbook, 8th ed., 2016.
The 8th edition of MLA citation style has designed a method of creating citations that can be applied to any source. There are now 9 core elements that are to be included in a citation.
Each of these 9 core elements is explained in more detail (see sidebar menu). A comprehensive list of examples is also provided. If you need further help, please ask a staff member.
Tip: If an element is missing from your source, simply leave it out of your citation.
