When you're researching to write a paper, a lot of your sources will likely come from the internet, including articles from newspapers, magazines, or scholarly journals. The Modern Language Association (MLA) citation style guidelines require you to cite online articles differently than you would cite print articles. Even if the article you found online also exists in print, your Works Cited entry should take your reader to the version of the article that you accessed. Generally, this means including a URL or DOI (Digital Object Identifier) in your entry.
