Frequently asked questions
Does this generate MLA 9 or the older MLA 8?
MLA 9th edition, which keeps the container system MLA 8 introduced and tightens what counts as a container. Websites, books, journal articles, chapters, videos and reports are all supported, and the Works Cited entry and its matching in-text citation come from the same form.
What goes in the in-text citation when there is no page number?
Just the author, or the first words of the title when there is no author. Online sources are cited by author or title alone, and the page slot is left empty rather than filled with an invented number.
Can I cite a source I only have as a link?
Yes. Paste the URL and the title, author, site and date are collected where they can be read reliably. Anything that cannot be confirmed is left for you to complete instead of being guessed at. The citation engine runs from a style library bundled with the page, so it keeps working offline and your sources are never uploaded.
