(If the page range is known, add it at the end: pp. 213–18.)

Notes: MLA puts the author first, then the title (in quotation marks for an article, in italics for a book or journal), then the container (journal, with volume and number), the year and the pages. The place of publication is omitted. The year moves from after the author (APA) to the end of the entry.
