    MLA, or Modern Language Association, is a formatting style commonly used in academic writing. It provides guidelines for various aspects of writing, such as margins, line spacing, creating a works cited list, and formatting quotes. However, MLA does not specifically provide rules for identifying credible sources. This aspect of research is generally left to the discretion of the writer, who must evaluate the credibility and reliability of their sources independently.
