 Citing Articles in MLA 9 This video demonstrates how to cite articles in MLA 9 and explains where to get help if you have more questions about MLA citations. First, gather your information. You'll need the author name or names, the title of both the article and the source where it was published, such as a magazine, journal or newspaper, the volume and issue if applicable, the publication year and day and month if available, the page numbers, and a digital object identifier DOI or URL if available. You can use the video citing an article on the BC Libraries YouTube channel to learn how to find this information for articles in a commonly used library database. Once you have all the pieces, it's time to arrange them into MLA format. First, add the author's name, last name, first name, period. Or, for two authors, last name, first name, comma, and second author's first name, last name, period. For a source with three or more authors, list the first author's last name, comma, first name, comma, at, all, period. After the author or author's names, add the title of the article in quotation marks. Place a period at the end of the title before the end quotation mark. Then, add the publication or sources title in italics followed by a comma. If your source has a volume and issue number, common for journal articles, this information goes after the source title. Add v-o-l, period, followed by the volume number, comma, n-o, period, followed by the issue number, and with a comma. Next, include the publication date. Depending on the type of source, this might include a year, a year and a month, or a day, month, and year. After the publication date, add a comma and then the page range for the article. For articles that span a range of pages, include p-p, period, before the page range. For articles on just one page, use a single letter p, followed by a period, and then the page number, followed by a period. Depending on your source's format, you might then add a URL or DOI if one is available. If your article is from a database, you would also include the database title in italics after the page number and followed by the URL. That's the basic format.
