Also, your citation should come BEFORE the period.

a bibliography is a list of all the sources you referenced in your writing, whether or not you actually quoted them or not. a works cited is a list of all the sources you actually quoted in your writing. the format should be the same, but it depends on what you are supposed to use. There is MLA format, or APA. These two styles depend on how you actually cite the information in the paper itself. \nDepending on what you need to use, there's www.apastyle.net, or http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_mla.html for MLA.

No you dont need to do the whole "text text" (citation). Thing, but I think you do need to put the parenthesis after it. At least thats how I do it, so heres an example. \n\nIn the novel The Great Gatsby (title should be underlined), Jay Gatsby believed in the death of the american dream (Fizgerald 34).  \n\ngo check the source below. \n\nIm pretty sure that's how you go about doing it, but then again, could be wrong..\nHope this was helpfull!

I'd check out the official MLA website or guide for more information.  There are some websites where you can generate an MLA code, such as EasyBib.com and The Citation Machine.

For one author:\n\nLast name, First initial. (year of publication). Title     capitalizing only the first word. Title of publication in italics, Volume number, page numbers.\n\nThe first line of the reference is along the left margin and the rest are indented 5 spaces.\n\nThe intext citation is: (Last name, year)\n\nLet me know if you have any other questions. I have a degree in Psych and had to write A LOT of papers!

IN TEXT - I would say "according to wikipedia's article about _______".  \n\nThere is a way to cite down at the bottom of every page on wikipedia for your bibliography. \n\nI hope I answered your question, but I was a bit unclear. \nGood luck!\n\nYou might check out the MLA handbook for references to citing as well.

If you're doing internal citing then you use the author's last name or whatever the first word of the citation is on your works cited page. www.citationmachine.net has a great citation maker.

Use something like http://www.easybib.com/MyBib/step2.php\nA citation machine, and it will be in MLA format which will get you a head start on thesis writing :)  You can click to add another author.\n\nIt's automatic, just fill it in and then it will do it for you.  It came in super handy when I have about 14 different cites to do for one of my papers.  It is also FREE, and lets you save and retrieve.  It also has tons of options, and formats your works cited page automatically.\n\nThe pro version costs money, but I've never needed it.  Free works just fine.  The only thing you really get with pro is being able to store lists and make footnotes, which is silly as you won't need it anyways.  I just save them in word, then they're stored for good.\n\nEdit: Landmark citation is the easiest for simple MLA formatted citations, but does not let you add authors automatically.  I'd recommend it as being the best, but maybe not what you want right now?

Last year I had a problem like this when I was writing a research paper.  I went to go ask the librarian and she told me that in text you should cite the last night followed by the first initial of the first name. \nExample: (Jones, K.)\nOn your references page, make a separate citation for each author.

well, generally, it depends on the type of work you are citing; sorry, don't mean to confuse you. Try out the link below - it's usually pretty good at putting things into proper citation format for you.

I am in my fourth year of University Honouring in English. The correct MLA way is "I am not going"(35). The source comes at the end of a sentence. Ex: Bob said that he is "not going" to the dance illustrates his unwillingness to participate in social gatherings (35). There is a space between the sentence and the source if the quote is not the last thing in the line. If the source immediately follows the quote there is no space. "I am not going"(35). Good luck!
