How to Make an MLA Quote Citation for a Web Page With No Author

The MLA or Modern Language Association format is a guideline for students and authors to follow when writing scholarly papers or articles. The MLA format requires in-text citations when quoting a source, even if the source is a website without an author. Whenever quoting from a source, it is essential that you attribute the quote to a source to avoid plagiarizing the source and potentially damaging your scholarly or professional reputation.

Instructions

    • 1

      Insert the quote into the body of the paper or paragraph and close the quotation with quotation marks.

    • 2

      Put a shortened version of the website in parentheses following the quotation marks. For example, type "(NYTimes.com)" or "(HDMI.org)." Do not include the full URL for the Web address, such as the "http://" or the "www."

    • 3

      Close the citation with a period following the parenthesis to complete the citation. Make sure you include the full Web address for the website in the Works Cited page so the reader can access the information that you quoted.
