    Let me take a guess, are you a humanities student who needs to cite in MLA style?

  • 00:04

    Together with your in-text citations, you also need to create a works cited list.

  • 00:10

    It appears at the end of your paper and gives full details of every source that you cited

  • 00:14

    in the text.

  • 00:18

    In this video, I'll walk you through the 9 core elements in an MLA reference entry, and

  • 00:23

    show you how to format your works cited page in the Google Docs environment!

  • 00:27

    If you only need help with formatting, jump straight to this time stamp!

  • 00:31

    Hi, I'm Jessica from Scribbr, here to help you achieve your academic goals.

  • 00:37

    Begin each source entry with the name of the author or creator.

  • 00:40

    The name of the first author is always inverted, so last name first, then first name.

  • 00:47

    However, when a second author is listed, their name is not inverted.

  • 00:53

    When a source has three or more authors, only the first author is listed, followed by “et

  • 00:59

    al.”

  • 01:00

    Always include the full title of the source, including subtitles in title case.

  • 01:06

    The styling of the title depends on the type of source:

  • 01:10

    Italics when the source is self-contained (e.g. a whole book, movie or website).

  • 01:16

    Quotation marks when the source is part of a larger whole (e.g. a chapter of a book,

  • 01:22

    a page on a website, or an article in a journal).

  • 01:26

    A container is the larger work that the source you’re citing appears in.

  • 01:30

    For example, a chapter is part of a book, a page is part of a website, and an article

  • 01:37

    is part of a journal.

  • 01:39

    You should italicize the container.

  • 01:41

    Leave out this element if the source is a self-contained whole, like a book.

  • 01:46

    If there are other relevant contributors, like translators or directors, add them right

  • 01:51

    after the container title.

  • 01:53

    Leave out this element if there are no other contributors.

  • 01:57

    When there is more than one version of a source, include the version you used.

  • 02:01

    For example, a second edition book, or a director's cut of a movie.

  • 02:07

    Sources such as journal articles, magazines, and TV shows are often numbered.

  • 02:13

    Include this element if your source has numbered parts.

  • 02:16

    The publisher is the company responsible for producing and distributing the source – it

  • 02:21

    is usually only included for a book publisher like oxford university press or a movie production

  • 02:27

    company like warner brothers.

  • 02:30

    Always include the publication year.

  • 02:32

    If you also know the month and day of publication, include this if relevant.

  • 02:37

    Like this

  • 02:39

    When a source does not state a publication date, add the date on which you accessed the

  • 02:44

    information at the end of the reference.

  • 02:46

    For example: Accessed 22 Sep. 2018.

  • 02:51

    What you include in the location element depends on the type of source you are citing, it could

  • 02:56

    be:

  • 02:57

    A page range for a book chapter or journal article

  • 03:00

    A URL or DOI for an online source The location of a physical object or performance

  • 03:09

    That's quite a lot of elements to handle huh?

  • 03:11

    Besides creating your references manually, you can also use scribbr's free citation generator!

  • 03:17

    Let's say I want to cite an article.

  • 03:21

    Click on journal, search the article by title, double-check the information, and cite source.

  • 03:33

    When you’ve finished entering all the references, you can copy the entire list.

  • 03:39

    All there's left to do is to format the works cited page!

  • 03:43

    The works cited page page follows the general MLA formatting guidelines.

  • 03:47

    Check this video out first if you're not sure what they are.

  • 03:49

    I will quickly set it up now: Select 12 points in Times New Roman font, for the page header,

  • 03:59

    double click at the top of a page, put in your last name and then insert automatic page

  • 04:04

    numbering, and choose right aligned.

  • 04:10

    Then set 1 inch page margins and line spacing to double.

  • 04:18

    Now, place the section heading "works cited" in plain text, and center it at the top of

  • 04:24

    the page.

  • 04:25

    It’s important to sort the references in alphabetical order based on the author’s

  • 04:30

    last names.

  • 04:31

    If you copied them from Scribbr's citation generator, the references are automatically

  • 04:36

    in alphabetical order.

  • 04:38

    All that's left to do is format the references with hanging indents which basically indents

  • 04:43

    all the lines except the first.

  • 04:46

    Select the entire list, set left aligned, then pull the arrow on the ruler to half an

  • 04:53

    inch, and the rectangle back to 0.

  • 04:57

    And we're done!

  • 04:59

    That wasn't too hard right?

  • 05:01

    Now if you need more help with MLA style, we've got all you need in this playlist!

  • 05:06

    See you there!
