Citing Your Sources
Accurate, properly formatted footnotes, reading lists, and bibliographies are hallmarks of good academic research. Through citing, you acknowledge the source of any ideas you mention in your writing, document your research, and provide the information your readers need to track down your sources.
Numerous citation styles exist, and each specifies what elements are required (title, author, journal name, etc.) and how the citation should be formatted. The standard citation style for Spanish Literature is Moden Language Association (MLA), but your instructor may require or recommend that you use another.
Consult your course syllabus or check with your instructor to be sure of using the correct citation style for your assignment.
