While writing the MLA format for a book, people must need to follow some special rules. The Author data required to be come at first page, then the title must be supplied in the bold italics letter. People must also need to give the data about publication like city of publication, name of the publisher together with the publication year and the medium in which a research paper is published. The author is always listed first as the most important element of any citation; title always follows if this step is not followed in writing a research paper than the whole paper will be going to consider as an invalid one. It is advisable for people that they must use the punctuation shown exactly in their writing and lack of punctuation will be going to create a bad impact on the reader's mind about the book.
