MLA Citations Page


We create a citations page to list all of the sources you used in a research paper to give due credit
to the ideas and thoughts that were not our own. ANY information that you find in books,
periodicals, on websites, journals, etc., you need to list the source of that information on this
citations page. Heres a hint: it is illegal NOT to write the source. Taking someones ideas and
research and displaying them as your own is called plagiarism. This is not intended to intimidate
you, rather you must understand the importance of learning this information and applying it to
your work.

Your New Best Friend:


While we want you to be as prepared as possible to create a citations page, it takes years to
memorize every detail. Therefore, I would like for you to have this resource to use as a guide for
this paper as well as others that you may write in the future. It is an Online Writing Lab (OWL).
Below are the steps to access the reference:
1. Open a new web browser.
2. Go to www.google.com
3. Search: MLA Purdue Owl
4. The top result should be the correct website.
