Covers how to integrate short and long quotations, including when to use inline quotes versus block quotes with a colon, indentation, and spacing, and how to cite sources with author name and page numbers.

This template is based on commonly used guidelines from the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (6th edition) and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (2nd edition). For more information about MLA style and publications, go to the MLA website at: www.mla.org.\nFor example, quotations with fewer than four lines of prose or three lines of verse are quoted directly in the sentence. Enclose them in quotation marks, followed by the author’s last name and the page or pages of the source from which you are quoting in parenthesis, for example: “inline quotation here” (AuthorSurname 31).\nQuotations that are longer than four lines of prose or three lines of verse follow different guidelines. Introduce these quotations with a colon:\nStart long quotations on a new line. Indent the quote one inch from the left margin. Double-space the lines and omit quotation marks. Reference the source as you would for a shorter quotation. To quickly format a quotation of over four lines or three lines of verse, use the Long quotation style provided in this Microsoft Word template.\nPer MLA guidelines, all sources must be listed on a Works Cited page at the end of the paper. Center the title, Works Cited, and then list sources in alphabetical order by author last name. Some examples are provided on the next page. To format sources, start with the Works cited style provided in this template but refer to the MLA publications listed above for complete formatting guidelines.\nWorks Cited\nAuthor’s last name, first name. Title of Book. City: Publisher, Year.\nAuthor’s last name, first name. “Title of Article.” Title of Publication Date Published: Pages.\nAuthor’s last name, first name. “Title of Online Article.” Title of Online Publication Version (Year Published): Pages.
