  1. In text citations are when the authors name and the page where you got the quote is included in the text. They are important because they help avoid plagiarism.

  2. In-text citations: Author-page style. MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page.
