One of the most important aspects of your paper...

When writing any kind of paper the proper formatting is essential. In literary research we follow the MLA style. It has guideline for everything from margin size to proper in-text citations. While basic, this is some of the most important stuff in your paper so it's a good idea to give the guide a look-through. It's always depressing to see you've lost points on a paper because of improper page numbers. If this is a problem area for you or you just want to review the MLA format head over to the Purdue Writing Lab - it's easy to use and super useful when you're unsure of the proper form. Additionally, they provide examples implementing the techniques so you are able to see their application.
