Tips:
- MLA recommends the inclusion of URLs unless your instructor specifies that they shouldn't be included (p. 48). When providing a URL for a journal within an article database, you should look for what is called a permalink (p. 48). This link is different from the one that is found in the top URL address bar in a web browser.
- If your article has a DOI (digital object identifier) use that number as the "Location" element, in lieu of a URL (p. 48).
