Look at the scenario.In his essay about the atomic bombing of Japan during World War II, a student has used statistics he found in an article in the online archives of the Irish Times. The article is from May 5, 1997, and is called “Cancer Finding in Hiroshima.” There is no author given. How should the student cite this source using MLA citation format?
C
(“Cancer Finding in Hiroshima,” 1997)D
The student needs the author’s name before citing the article.In MLA, an in-text citation for a work with no named author uses a shortened version of its title in quotation marks. The article title is “Cancer Finding in Hiroshima,” so the shortened title is “Cancer Finding.” MLA in-text citations do not include the publication date, making “Cancer Finding” the correct choice.
