byStephenonFebruary 20, 2012
Here is a sample paper in MLA format that has both the cover page and the outline pages. This paper has 10 pages so if you are under a slow Internet connection, please wait a few seconds for all of the pages to load. This paper is current with the latest MLA manual.
When I’m wirting by research paper and I want to quote a phrase from a book do I put the book title in italics? I’m confused on how I would do the quotations where to put them.

In this example you omit the name of the university (unlike you previous sample cover page)… I suppose my question is, which is better for strict MLA guidelines?

Hello I’m writing a research paper MLA style with a cover page, Should the cover page include my last name and page number in the header like the rest of the pages or should it be omitted from the cover page?

Hi Lupe! No, put your last name and page number on the next page, like the example above or see another example here: https://mlaformat.org/mla-format-cover-page/ => See the Alternate First Page section.

What’s the correct way to cite a title of an article (online/print) that’s written close to a sentence –capitalize as if it’s an ordinary title, or keep as is on the Works Cited page? (MLA format) Ex.: “Preventing the next Adam Lanza requires action today.”

How would you list more than one writer? If we have a group name; should I put the logo on the cover page or leave it plain.
