Irrelevant elements of the standard MLA format are omitted.
In MLA, how you consulted the work (print, online pdf, online html) will affect the citation.
Journal citations can use either one or two containers. For articles in online databases, use two containers. The first container is for the journal. The second container is for the database.
Provide DOIs or URLs when available. DOIs are preferable to URLs and permalink URLs are preferable to non-permalink URLs. The protocol (http:// or https://) should be included with DOIs, but can be removed for other URLs.
