The Modern Language association publishes the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. " The MLA Handbook explains how to identify a topic and develop it through research. It also shows you how to work with sources in your writing, gives advice on the mechanics of academic prose, and authoritatively presents MLA documentation style" (MLA xvii). "In MLA documentation style, you acknowledge your sources by keying brief parenthetical citations in your text to and alphabetical list of works that appears at the end of the paper" (MLA 126).
