The MLA Handbook is the official guide published by the organisation.

“The ninth edition of the MLA Handbook, published in spring 2021, builds on the MLA’s unique approach to documenting sources using a template of core elements—facts common to most sources, like author, title, and publication date—that allows writers to cite any type of work, from books, e-books, and journal articles in databases to song lyrics, online images, social media posts, dissertations, and more.”
