From MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 7th Edition (p. 129):
This guide has been compiled by referencing the MLA Handbook, the Purdue OWL website, and by consulting the work of other business librarians who have created guides for business citation. Business citations are not directly addressed in the MLA manual, so the decisions on how to create many of these citations have been a matter of interpretation.
For help with writing and citation format, visit the YSU Writing Center on the lower level of Maag Library.
You must provide parenthetical references (in-text citations) for quotes, paraphrases, and summaries used within a paper. The parenthetical reference refers the reader to the complete bibliographic citation on the Works Cited page.
According to MLA guidelines, you must provide the last name of the author(s) and the page number(s) in parentheses at the end of the borrowed material. If you use the author name(s) in the sentence, it need not appear in the parentheses at the end. The page number(s), however, should always appear in the parentheses at the end. Use abbreviations where appropriate so the flow of the paper is interrupted as little as possible.
"U.S. imports of certified coffee exploded from 1.3 million pounds in 1999 to almost 45 million pounds in 2005, for a total value of $45 million" (Jaffee 16).
If you introduce borrowed material with the author's name, put only the page number in parentheses at the end of the borrowed material.
According to Jaffee, "U.S. imports of certified coffee exploded from 1.3 million pounds in 1999 to almost 45 million pounds in 2005, for a total value of $45 million" (16).
More than one page: (Jaffee 116-17).
More than one author in list with the same last name, add first initial: (D. Jaffee 16).
More than one author in list with the same last name and first initial, add full first name: (Daniel Jaffee 16).
2-3 authors, give last name of each: (Thurston, Morris, and Steiman 56).
More than 3 authors, use first author's last name followed by et al.: (Curran et al. 2601-09).
Corporate author, use corporation name, shortened or in full: (International Trade Centre 61).
No known author, use shortened title of work.
The title should be placed within quotation marks (articles) or italicized (books, entire websites).
2 or more works with same title and no author listed, add a publication fact, such as the date.
More than one work by an author, add cited title, shortened or in full, after the author's last name: (Fridell, Coffee 73).
Electronic publications sometimes include paragraph numbers or other kinds of reference numbers (par., sec., etc.).
