MLA format is a style guide created by the Modern Language Association used primarily for writing and citing sources in the humanities, especially in English studies and literature. It provides guidelines for formatting papers, in-text citations, and works cited pages to ensure consistency and credibility in academic writing. Common requirements include double-spaced text, one-inch margins, a header with your last name and page number, and a specific format for citing sources. Using MLA format makes it easier for readers to locate and verify sources used in a paper.
