To cite a website in MLA in-text format, you typically include the author’s last name or the title of the webpage (if no author) in parentheses right after the information you’re referencing.
Basic format: If you have an author: (Author’s Last Name) Example: (Smith)
If no author, use a shortened title of the webpage in quotation marks: ("Title of Webpage") Example: ("Climate Change Effects")
Examples: According to research, the climate is changing rapidly (Smith).
The article states that urban areas are most affected ("Climate Change Effects").
If you mention the author’s name in the sentence, just put the page or paragraph number if available (usually not for websites).
If you're citing a website in MLA in-text, it’s actually pretty simple — you usually just use the author’s last name. So if the article was written by someone named Jordan Smith, you’d write:
(Smith)
If there’s no author, you can use a shortened version of the website title in quotation marks, like:
(“History of Jazz”)
And if you already mention the author in your sentence, you don’t need to repeat it in the parentheses:
According to Smith, jazz music evolved rapidly in the early 20th century.
Just keep it clean and minimal — MLA likes it that way.
For MLA in-text citations of a website, include the author's last name or the page title (if no author) in parentheses, like (Smith) or ("Page Title"), without page numbers. If you mention the author/title in your sentence, you don’t need the parentheses.
