How do I cite a website using the MLA format?
Answer
To cite a page of a website, use the following general format for your Works Cited:
Last Name, First Name of Author if known. "Title of Webpage." Name of Website, Publisher if available, date of publication, URL. Access date is optional but recommended.
Examples:
"Earthquakes." Ready, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 27 Apr. 2020, https://www.ready.gov/earthquakes. Accessed 12 June 2020.
Goldman, Joshua. "Best Laptops of 2020." CNET, 25 May 2020, https://www.cnet.com/news/best-laptops-of-2020/. Accessed 12 June 2020.
"10 Scents That Repel Mosquitoes." Mosquito Magnet, https://www.mosquitomagnet.com/articles/10-scents-that-repel-mosquitoes. Accessed 20 June 2020.
In-text:
In-text citations are how you give credit to your source in the text of your paper. They are shortened versions of the full citations. For example, the in-text citations for the citations above would be:
("Earthquakes")
(Goldman)
("10 Scents")
Note: If your source has page numbers (many digital sources do not), you would indicate the page number you used after the author's name or the title.
For example:
(Austen 23)
