MLA Style Guide

Works Cited List

The works cited list is a formal list of all the sources that were used in the research assignment.  This list is often found at the end of the research paper.  It is usually organized alphabetically by author, and the citations are comprised of elements that are given from the source being used in a paper.   More information about creating the works cited list can be found in the MLA Handbook 9th ed. in chapter 5.
