9 Core Elements: |
In the ninth edition of The MLA Handbook (2021), there were minor changes to MLA8, which transitioned to documenting sources based on a universal general method. The citation process is based on nine core elements (outlined in the graphic to the right). Some of these elements may be used multiple times depending on how a source is contained. (For example, a show streamed by Netflix, but produced by BBC.) The template below may be used to document any type of source. The specific templates were created for ease of use.
