Answer 4

The MLA Style Manual, published by the Modern Language Association, is a style guide widely used in academia for writing and documentation of research in the humanities, especially in English studies; the study of other modern languages and literatures, including comparative literature; literary criticism; media studies; cultural studies; and related disciplines.

MLA style uses a Works Cited page listing works cited in one's text and notes (either footnotes and/or endnotes), which is placed after the main body of a term paper, article, or book. Brief parenthetical citations, including the name or names of author(s) and/or short titles (as needed) and numbers of pages (as applicable), are used within the text. These are keyed to and direct readers to a work or works by author(s) or editor(s) and sometimes titles, as they are presented on the list of works cited (in alphabetical order), and the page(s) of the item where the information is located (e.g. (Smith 107) refers the reader to page 107 of the cited work by an author whose surname is Smith). If there are more than one author of the same name and/or more than one title of works by that author or authors being cited, then a first name or initial and/or titles or short titles are also used within the text's parenthetical references. There are also other possible headings for lists such as "Selected Bibliography" or "Works Consulted" suggested following MLA style.

There are two official publications of the MLA presenting MLA style, which have been published in revised editions. The MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, second edition (ISBN 0-87352-699-6), is addressed primarily to academic scholars, professors, graduate students, and other advanced-level writers of scholarly books and articles in humanities disciplines such as English and other modern languages and literatures. Many journals and presses in these disciplines require that manuscripts be submitted following MLA style. The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, sixth edition (ISBN 0-87352-986-3), is addressed primarily to secondary-school and undergraduate college and university students; its conventions pertain to students' writing of reports and research papers as required by teachers in those disciplines. The author of both official MLA publications is Joseph Gibaldi, the Director of Book Acquisitions and Development for the MLA.[2] In the most recent editions of the Manual and the Handbook, MLA style has been updated and adapted to stay in step with computer-generated word processing, electronic publishing, and related digital-publishing practices.

The MLA suggests that, when creating a document on a computer, the writer try to maintain a series of guidelines that make it easier for people to read a composition without causing the style to distract from the content.

Choose Times New Roman, 12-point font.
All margins should be set to 1 inch.
Align text to the left and do not justify. Center titles.
Double space throughout.
Put one space after non-period punctuation marks.
Turn off your word processor's automatic hyphenation feature.
Turn off your word processor's automatic hyperlink feature (URLs on your works cited page should neither be underlined nor hyperlinked).
Website addresses should be placed between angle brackets to set them apart from the rest of the text.
Print on only one side of each piece of paper.
Although underlining is rendered in print through italicization, MLA style recommends that writers of research papers and scholars preparing manuscripts for publication by presses use underlining, unless directed that italicization is permissible or preferred.
