How Internal Documentation
and the Works Cited go Together
The works cited is a list of all the sources you used for your paper alphabetized by the author's last name or by the first word in the article title.
When you use the source information in your paper, you must document where it came from by mentioning the author or the article title in the text of your paper.
In the example, we have a sentence about crime being on the rise. It came from page 25 of the book Crime in the United States written by Tim Barker.
The works cited page lists the bibliographic information for the book (NOT in MLA 2021 format) and the in-text documentation (Barker 25) contains the author's last name.
(If there had been no author, the in-text documentation would be the title of the book.)
