Web source with author (MLA)

In-text citation

MLA-69

Michael Pollan points out that “cheap food” actually has “significant costs—to the environment, to public health, to the public purse, even to the culture.”

Explain

  • Do not include a page number if a work lacks page numbers, as is the case with many Web sources.
  • If a Web site numbers its paragraphs or screens, give the abbreviation “par.” or “pars.” or the word “screen” or “screens” in the parentheses: (Smith, par. 4).
  • Do not use page numbers from a printout from a Web site because not all printouts give the same page numbers.
  • When the pages of a Web source are stable, as is the case with many PDF files, supply a page number in your in-text citation.
