MLA PAPERS- p. 592

Modern Language Association

Sources are cite for two reasons:

1. To tell readers where you information comes from- so that they can assess its reliability and, if interested, find and read the original source.

2. To give credit to the writes form whom you have borrowed words and ideas.

MLA is the most used format for writing in School systems.

This is how MLS citation usually works:

1. The source is introduced by a single phrase that names its author.

2. The material being cited is followed by a page number in parentheses.

3. At the end of the paper, a list of works cited gives complete publication information about the source.

Plagiarism:

Three different acts are considered plagiarism:

1. Failing to cite quotations and borrowed ideas.

2. Failing to enclose borrowed language in quotation marks.

3. Failing to put summaries and paraphrases in your own words.

You must also cite any ideas you borrowed from a source: Summaries, Statistics and other specific facts, and visuals such as cartoons, graphs, and diagrams. The only exception is common knowledge.

Summaries and paraphrases:

Write ALL information in your own words. If you do copy the authors or if you half-copy you commit plagiarism.
