Jane A. Bryant Professor Doherty English 2140 17 May 2002 Standard format for an MLA-Style Reasearch Report A contemporary method of documentation is appropriate for reports that contain information from only a few sources (Harcourt 448). The MLS- style (Modern Language Association of Americal) report that is illustrated here is a method that can be used. there are several key diferences between this style and the formats introduced in previous lessons. An MLA-style report has one-inch side, top, and bottom margins. The entire report is double-spaced, including quotations, documentation, and the space below the title. No title page is used. Information normally found on the title page (writer’s name, teachers’s name, course title, and the date) is keyed on the first page beginning one inch from the top margin starting at the lsft margin. Page numbers for all pages (including the first) are keyed at the right margin one-half inch from the top edge of the paper. The writer’s last name precedes the page number. Another difference is the way that long quotations are keyed in the MLA style. In the BLA Handbook for Writers of Reasearch Papers, Gibaldi provides these guides for keying long quotations: If a quotation runs more that four typed lines, set it off...by beginning a new line indenting one inch (or ten spaces if you are using a typewriter) from the left margin, and typing it double-spaced, without adding quotation marks. A colon generally introduces a quotation displayed in this way, though sometimes the context may require a different mark of punctuation, or context may require a different mark of punctuation, or none at all. If you quote only a single paragraph, or part of one, do not indent the first line more than the rest. A parenthetical reference to the prose quotation set off from the text follows the last line of the quotation. (73) Continue to double-space the text following the quotation, indenting only the first line of each paragraph one-half inch (five spaces). An example of the “works Cited” page is illustrated on page 3. Notice that it is also double-spaced and arranged in alphabetical order with the second and succeeding lines of each indented one-half inch. Works Cited Gibaldi, Joseph.
