What Is MLA Style?

All fields of research agree on the need to document scholarly borrowings, but documentation
conventions vary because of the different needs of scholarly disciplines. MLA style for
documentation is widely used in the humanities, especially in writing on language and literature.
Generally simpler and more concise than other styles, MLA style features brief parenthetical
citations in the text keyed to an alphabetical list of works cited that appears at the end of the
work.

MLA style has been widely adopted by schools, academic departments, and instructors for over
half a century. The association's guidelines are also used by over 1,100 scholarly and literary
journals, newsletters, and magazines and by many university and commercial presses. The
MLA's guidelines are followed throughout North America and in Brazil, China, India, Japan,
Taiwan, and other countries around the world.

The Modern Language Association of America (referred to as the Modern Language Association or
MLA) is the principal professional association in the United States for scholars of language and
literature. The MLA aims to "strengthen the study and teaching of language and literature." [1] It has
"30,000 members in 100 countries," primarily academic scholars, professors, and graduate students who
study or teach language and literature, including English, other modern languages, and comparative
literature.[1] Although founded in the United States, with offices located in New York City, the MLA's
membership, concerns, reputation, and influence are international in scope.[1]

The MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (2008) is the third edition of The
MLA Style Manual, first published by the Modern Language Association of America in 1985. It
is an academic style guide widely used in the United States, Canada, and other countries,
providing guidelines for writing and documentation of research in the humanities, especially in
English studies; the study of other modern languages and literatures, including comparative
literature; literary criticism; media studies; cultural studies; and related disciplines.

According to the MLA book catalogue description, since first being published in 1985, the MLA
Style Manual has been "the standard guide for graduate students, scholars, and professional
writers." MLA style "has been widely adopted by schools, academic departments, and instructors
for over half a century"; the MLA's "guidelines are also used by over 1,100 scholarly and literary
journals, newsletters, and magazines and by many university and commercial presses," and they
are "followed throughout North America and in Brazil, China, India, Japan, Taiwan, and other
countries around the world" ("What Is MLA Style?").
