Adapted from Diana Hacker
MLA in-text citations are usually made with a combination of signal phrases and parenthetical
references.
A signal phrase indicates that something taken from a source (such as a quotation,
summary, paraphrase, or fact) is about to be used; usually the signal phrase includes the
author’s name.
The parenthetical reference, which comes after the cited material, normally includes at
least a page number.
However, many web sources, like the New York Times opinions that we’ve read for our
rhetorical analysis essays, do not have page numbers. This means that citations for these
articles
usually include just a signal phrase. In the following example, the in-text citation is shown in
red.
Questioning her abilities, Rudig reflects, “I imagined I wasn’t smart enough. But I also
realized I had some things to say.”
Readers can look up the author’s last name in the alphabetized list of works cited, where
they
will learn the work’s title and other publication information.
Part One: Basic Rules for Web Sources
The MLA system of in-text citations, which depends heavily on authors’ names and page
numbers, was created in the early 1980s with print sources in mind. Because some of
today’s
web sources have unclear authorship and lack page numbers, they present a special challenge.
Nevertheless, the basic rules are the same for both print and web sources. The models in this
section (items 1–2) show how the MLA system usually works.
1. Author named in a signal phrase [default]
Ordinarily, introduce the material being cited with a signal phrase that includes the
author’s name. In addition to preparing readers for the source, the signal phrase allows
you to keep the parenthetical citation brief.
Christine Haughney reports that shortly after Japan made it illegal to use a
handheld phone while driving, “accidents caused by using the phones dropped by
75 percent.”
2. Author named in parentheses [when a signal phrase is clunky or repetitive]
If the signal phrase does not name the author, put the author’s last name in parentheses.
Most states do not keep adequate records on the number of times cell phones are
a factor in accidents; as of December 2000, only ten states were trying to keep
such records (Sundeen).
3. Indirect source (source quoted in another source)
When a writer’s or a speaker’s quoted words appear in a source written by someone
else,
begin the citation with the abbreviation “qtd. in.”
According to Richard Retting, “As the comforts of home and the efficiency of the
office creep into the automobile, it is becoming increasingly attractive as a work
space” (qtd. in Kilgannon).
Part Two: Inserting and Omitting Information
If you need to insert outside information or change the grammatical structure of a
quotation for readability, use brackets around the information that you are inserting/changing.
Edmund Hansen and his wife felt alienated. He writes, “Two of our three remaining sons
abandoned us [after the diagnosis went public]; we were rejected by our church and
shunned by friends. AIDS will do that.”
If you need to omit unimportant information from a long quotation, indicate the missing
information with an ellipsis ( . . . ).
Part Three: Creating a Works Cited Page for Web Sources
Follow these steps when formatting your works cited page:
1. Use 1” margins on all sides of your paper and double space throughout the page.
2. On the first line, center the title “Works Cited” (or in the case of a single source, “Work
Cited”).
3. Begin each entry flush with the left margin. If the entry runs more than one line, indent
additional lines five spaces using a hanging indent.
4. List each entry alphabetically by author’s last name.
For web entries, the publication information should be listed in the following order, using the
punctuation shown:
1. Author.
2. Title of article.
3. Title of website,
4. Publication date,
5. Location (URL).
Example:
Tavernise, Sabrina. “Disparity of Life Spans of the Rich and the Poor Is Growing.” The
New
York Times, 12 Feb. 2016, nyti.ms/1PRn2nx.
