Modern Language Association (MLA) Citation Information
MLA style provides writers with a system for cross-referencing their sources from their parenthetical references to their works cited page. This cross-referencing system allows readers to locate the publication information of a writer's source material. The proper use of MLA style also shows the credibility of writers; such writers show accountability to their source material. Most importantly, the use of MLA style can protect writers from accusations of plagiarism.
