    MLA Citation Guide

    MLA is a style of formatting and citation that would be used for classes like your
    English class. It is one of the most common styles for citing resources and giving credit
    to outside sources. This list will include the most common ways you may use this style
    to cite resources in Earth Science.

    In Text
    If you are referencing an outside source in the body of your text, you need to properly
    cite it (Note: you must also cite it in the Works Cited Page, which will be talked about
    below).

    The basic way of citing a resource in a text is by including the author’s last name and
    the page number in parentheses, like this:

    ● “Earth Science helps us to study the world around us (Terra 2).”

    Here are the general ways to cite a resource in text:

    Style Overview Example


    Author and page When you know the author’s Earth Science helps us to study
    number in name and the page number the world around us (Terra 2).
    parentheses the source is from.

    study our universe (Terra and
    Stellar 6)

    Author in the When you name the author in Terra says that “Earth Science

    author or the title of the
    resource. Oceanographers think that
    oceans are pretty swell (“Bad
    Ocean Puns”).

    In Works Cited
    When you cite a resource, you also need to include it in a separate section called the
    Works Cited page.

    Below are some examples of how you would cite different resources in the Work Cited
    page.
