Title: Subtitle
Research papers that use MLA format do not include a cover page unless requested by
your instructor. Instead, start with the information shown at the top of this page. Do not bold the
title or use all capital letters. Capitalize the first and last words of the title, and all principal
words. If your paper includes a subtitle, separate it from the title by a colon and space, as shown.
For more specific guidance on capitalization, see the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research
Papers, 7th Edition (MLA 7th
Edition).
All text—including titles, quotations, notes, and list of works cited—uses double line
spacing. Body text and note text use a half-inch first-line indent. The list of works cited uses a
half-inch hanging indent. Table titles and source text use a quarter-inch indent. Access all of
these text formats on the Home tab, in the Styles gallery.
MLA format discourages extensive use of content notes. But, when you need to add
notes, you can use either endnotes or footnotes. MLA 7th Edition indicates that you should use a
superscript, Arabic numeral at an appropriate place in the text for the note reference. To begin
the note text, use the same numeral, not superscript, and followed by a period.
If you use endnotes, they should be on a separate page, at the end of your text and
preceding the list of works cited. If you use footnotes, consult your professor for preferred
format.
Last Name 2
For quotations of more than four lines, indent the quote one inch from the left
margin and do not use quotation marks. To apply this formatting, on the Home
tab, in the Styles gallery, click Quote. For shorter quotations, you can put them in
quotation marks and incorporate them directly into text.

Fig. 1. This figure caption uses the No Indent style, available on the Home tab, in the Styles
gallery. Label figures with the abbreviated “Fig.” and a figure number.
The sample Works Cited list that follows starts on its own page. Just type in-text citations
as you do any text of your paper. See the sample citation shown at the end of this paragraph.
Note also that MLA rules for citations and references are extensive. So it’s a good idea to refer to
MLA 7th Edition for further information. (AuthorLastName Pages)
