The Modern Language Association, the authority on research and writing, takes a fresh look at documenting sources in the eighth edition of the MLA Handbook. Works are published today in a dizzying range of formats. A book, for example, maybe read in print, online, or as an e-book—or perhaps listened to in an audio version. On the Web, modes of publication are regularly invented, combined, and modified. Previous editions of the MLA Handbook provided separate instructions for each format, and new formats required additional instructions. In this groundbreaking edition of its best-selling handbook, the MLA recommends instead one universal set of guidelines, which writers can apply to any type of source.
Shorter and redesigned for easy use, the eighth edition of the MLA Handbook guides writers through the principles behind evaluating sources for their research. It then shows them how to cite sources in their writing and create useful entries for the works-cited list. The MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing was taken out of print in 2016. The eighth edition of the MLA Handbook is the authoritative source for MLA style. The MLA is developing additional publications to address the professional needs of scholars.
The only authorized Web site on MLA style, The MLA Style Center is the free online companion to the MLA Handbook.
