How do you cite a book in MLA format if the author is doctor?

You cite a book in MLA format the same way whether the author is a doctor or not. The format remains consistent. Here's how:

Basic Format:

* Author's Last Name, First Name. *Title of Book*. *Place of Publication*: *Publisher*, *Year of Publication*.

Example:

Smith, John. *The Human Body: A Comprehensive Guide*. New York: Penguin Random House, 2023.

Important Points:

* Capitalization: Capitalize the first letter of the title and subtitle (if applicable).

* Italics: Italicize the title of the book.

* Place of Publication: Use the city where the book was published.

* Publisher: Indicate the publishing company.

* Year of Publication: Include the year the book was published.

If the Author Has a Title:

* You can include the author's title (e.g., Dr.) before their name in the citation, but it is not required.

* Example:

* Smith, Dr. John. *The Human Body: A Comprehensive Guide*. New York: Penguin Random House, 2023.

Important Notes:

* This format applies to all books, regardless of the author's profession.

* For more specific guidance, refer to the official MLA Handbook or the Purdue OWL website.
