How do I cite an article from a journal using the MLA format?

Answer

To cite an article that you found in a library database, use the following format:

Last Name, First Name of Author. "Title of Article." Journal Title, vol. number, no. issue, date of publication, page range of article if available. Database Company, DOI. Access date is optional for published sources.
