What additional information is needed for each book entry to follow MLA guidelines? A word describing the medium. "Modern Language Association" specifies guidelines for using the English language in writing and formatting manuscripts. It offers examples for the general format of research papers, in-text citations, footnotes, and the Works Cited page. It also provides a system for referencing sources through parenthetical citation in their essays. Its use can protect writers from accusations of plagiarism. There is an official MLA site (Style / Format) that centralizes all related information.
