Summary of changes to MLA
In April 2016, MLA replaced its seventh edition resources with a new eighth edition. This updated version reflects the ways in which digital publication has changed how writers and researchers document sources. Therefore, the new edition includes significant shifts in the approach to source documentation in academic writing.
- While earlier editions emphasized the importance of following specific guidelines for formatting, the eighth edition focuses on the practice and process of scholarly documentation.
- The logic here is basic: a style guide should offer a method that is widely applicable.
- Rather than insisting that writers follow strict citation formulas, this handbook outlines the principles of MLA documentation and explains how writers can use them in many different situations.
- Author
- Number
- Title of source
- Publisher
- Title of container
- Publication date
- Other contributors
- Location
- Version
If you have included these elements and assembled them in a way that makes sense to your readers, then your works cited entries will be consistent and thorough.
