MLA citation help; in text citation?

You CAN abbreviate/shorten the title of the article. I have been writing in MLA style citation for 7 yrs and have always done this if necessary. It can be tricky deciding how to abbreviate certain titles. One suggestion I found online is to "omit initial articles and begin with the word by which it is alphabetized in the Works Cited list" (Cornell). Maybe try "The Birth" or "The Birth of the Puritan Movement"? Hope this helps!

In In-Text citations, you CANNOT abbreviate the title of any article, any section of the article, or paraphrase. Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but as having written several MLA formatted papers, i know that there is no way possible that you can abbreviate the title of any article.

To do an in text citation, what you should do is ... well are you doing a bibliography? what you do is take the first word that appears on the bibliography (like the author's last name) and put it in parenthesis, just like a normal quote so, it should look like should remain illegal (Author)

www.noodletools.com will do the citation for you.

My teachers always recommend it.

Good luck!
