How to Cite 2 Authors in Mla

How to Cite 2 Authors in Mlaに取り組みたい方へ、最短で成果を出す ヒントをご紹介します。

Now, here’s where people get tripped up. In your sentence, use the word “and”. “Smith and Jones argue that coffee is a food group.” But in your parentheses? Same deal. Use “and” there too. No ampersands (&) allowed in MLA in-text citations. Save those for the Works Cited page.

Why? Because MLA likes to be consistent and readable. It’s not trying to be a heavy metal band logo. Just plain, simple English. You’re not naming a law firm; you’re citing a book.

Pro tip: If you mention the authors’ names in your sentence, you don’t even need the parentheses. Just slap the page number at the end. “Smith and Jones claim that coffee is a food group (42).” Boom. You’re a citation wizard.
