English Paper Research Guide: Citing Sources-MLA

CITATIONS

Documentation of all sources used in research projects is important.  You must give proper credit to the authors of any sources used.  It is plagiarism if you do not give credit to the authors for their ideas or images.  

Cite your sources!

At Woodward Academy, the English department uses the MLA format.  There are different citation tools available to help generate citations in the proper format.
